Welcome to my fridge! As you can see, I enjoy making the most of the vertical space in my fridge, while always reserving a relatively empty shelf for those late-night pizza leftovers or an unexpected birthday cake. In the upcoming posts, I’ll take you on a fridge tour and share some organization ideas that you can easily adapt to suit your lifestyle. And if you have any great tips of your own, I’d love to hear them! Drop your favourite organization hacks in the comments below—I’m always eager to learn something new!
As an avid home cook, my fridge is like a walk-in closet—full of possibilities. That’s why I chose a double-door design; it’s efficient being able to see everything at a glance. Organising this space brings me joy!
This is my designated fruit shelf. I store my round fruits—like apples, oranges, and lemons—in these transparent acrylic drawers. Being able to see the fruits at a glance is a great reminder to incorporate them into my meals! The drawers also ensure easy reach for fruits at the back. In addition , these drawers have ventilation holes at the top to keep everything fresh and crisp. On top of the acrylic drawers, I’ve added an acrylic box with a removable internal basket that has drainage holes. This makes it perfect for storing fruits like grapes and berries, as I can easily lift the basket out, rinse the fruits under the tap, and let them drain before plating them. Next to this setup, I keep a simple tray for larger fruits like bananas, papayas, or honeydew melons. The tray not only prevents any spills from overripe fruits but also makes it easier to grab and move the larger items without hassle. What are some of your go-to fruits that you restock the moment they run out? For me, it’s lemons for my daily lemon water, bananas for a quick and easy breakfast, berries and Mandarin oranges for a refreshing after-meal dessert. 😊
I like storing some of my sauce bottles upside down because it makes it so much easier to squeeze out the condiments when needed. To keep them stable, I use small square containers to prevent them from sliding around the shelves. It’s a simple hack that repurposes those otherwise unused containers, but you can easily find similar ones at local stores as well.
Welcome to the beverage section—these drink holders make it feel like a mini vending machine! They securely hold packet or canned drinks, and once the front one is removed, the spring mechanism automatically pushes the next drink forward. For extra supplies, we use the transparent acrylic drawers below, making it easy to retrieve drinks even from the back with minimal effort. This cute mini storage box easily clips onto the drawer, providing convenient extra storage for drink straws. It’s a simple and effective way to keep them organised and within easy reach.
For dry supplies like dried shrimp, goji berries, and dried mushrooms, I prefer storing them in individual transparent containers. This method keeps everything neatly compartmentalised, making it easier to see, retrieve, and use when needed.
