How often do you close your kitchen cupboards and wince at the sound of something falling over within the depths of your disorganised shelves?
Though we don’t tend to witness the ghastly domino effect of toppling tin cans and crushed dried pasta, we can certainly hear it. The guiltiest individuals will leave the invisible problem for the next member of the household to stumble upon. Brothers, sisters, partners and flatmates will innocently search for a midnight snack before finding themselves dealing with the unexpected fallout.
Thanks to TikTok, home storage solutions have skyrocketed. Likely born out of the oodles of time on our hands back at the beginning of 2020, it seems as though much of the human population has developed a hobby out of frequent clear-outs and reorganisation feats. Sorry Marie Kondo, your niche is no longer.
‘Restock with me’ videos on the controversial social media app feature the pantries most of us could only dream of. Individuals fill and refill their kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom drawers with freshly launched products that even influencers with the largest of followings would covet. From brand-new effervescent health drinks and protein bars to artisan coffee, organic produce and luxury cold-pressed juices.
Indeed, the #restock has a whopping 541.9k posts on TikTok, which totals untold views. Meanwhile, #organising has an eye-watering total of 3.8 billion views and #homestorage boasts 267.9 million onlookers. The extent to which the global population remains enraptured with sleek, sophisticated and practical storage solutions seems to know no bounds.
In line with this trend, we’ve curated a selection of the best organisational tools to help bring order to your muddled kitchen cabinets. Keep scrolling to stay tidy.
