And it is the natural home for spare light bulbs, fuses, picture hooks, batteries – the stuff you do not need every day, but when you do, it has to be immediately to hand.

Think of this as an enormous filing cabinet for bulky things, so keep everything to hand and labelled. Put small items in old jam jars and label them. Use clear plastic storage boxes for bigger items such as light bulbs.
