Easy living

Things just run better when you can save space, says Harriet Paige

This issue I’ve searched out the products that help save a little of that much sought-after commodity: space. The houses I’ve lived in have got progressively larger and yet I’ve never felt like I’ve got enough of it. This is why a product that imaginatively helps to create more is always a joy to behold, as is a well-ordered food store. If, like me, you’ve spent too much of your life scrabbling around in the back of cupboards to find that one elusive item then you owe it to yourself to discover the revelation of cooking in a kitchen where ingredients are visible, to hand, and easily accessible. I hope you find all these shortcuts and ideas make your life a bit easier.

GOOD IDEA

Use magnetic plaster and you’ll be able to move pictures and notes around!

Thistle Magnetic Plaster can be applied to new or existing walls with a minimum 3mm thickness. Once dry, it can be painted with most wall paints, including blackboard paint. You can even wallpaper over the top and magnets will still stick! Visit roomsmadeforyou.co.uk for stockists
