Shape, Size and Dimensions
When purchasing storage containers, buying with an exact plan is crucial. This involves measuring the intended space for the product to ensure that you maximize the space available. By doing so, you can avoid buying a container that will take up 1/3 of the depth of your shelf, which could lead to unnecessary accumulation in and around the container.
avoid containers that have narrow bottoms and wider tops; loss of valuable space
match the size of the container with the item it will hold. For instance, flour and sugar require larger containers, while baking powder can be stored in something smaller. This practice ensures you're using your storage space efficiently.
try to maximize the vertical height available- taller containers for spaces that will accommodate it
if you plan to scoop out your flour with a measuring cup, it's important to ensure the mouth is wide enough to accommodate this
avoid high-profile baskets and bins in smaller spaces as they may be harder to pull out when full
Compatibility
When purchasing different organizing containers to maximize space, it is essential to consider compatibility.
By selecting containers that can be stacked or nested, you will maximize your available space. Look for containers with similar dimensions or those specifically designed to fit together. This practical approach will enhance both function and aesthetics.
Versatility
To maximize value for money, consider organizing products that can be used in various ways. As your needs and preferences, individually or as a family, change and evolve, having versatile products allows you to adapt and accommodate accordingly.
