Organising your under-stairs cupboard

What do you want to store in the pantry? It can hold more than you think: from non-perishable groceries to cleaning supplies, and from toilet rolls to children's toys. Place items you don't use often, like Christmas decorations or birthday decorations, at the back in transparent boxes. This way, you keep space for the things you use more frequently and still have an overview of where everything is when you need it after a long time.
