The Edit | An organised kitchen

Keeping on top of kitchen clutter can be tricky, particularly if you’re faced with limited space. But there are plenty of clever ways to stay on top of things, and for this month’s ‘Edit’ I’ve picked out 17 timeless, considered buys that will help you make the most of whatever room you have.

Read on for sleek glass jars with customised labels, innovative food wrappers and containers, and nifty solutions to keep drawers, worktops and sink areas neat and tidy. Many of the pieces I’ve chosen come from small, independent retailers, and all are as stylish as they are practical – meaning you can have a kitchen that’s pleasing on the eye and a joy to cook in. What’s more, I’ve only included things that can be reused time and time again, making them better for the planet and your wallet, too.
