Liv’s Kitchen lifesavers

1. Ikea trolleys - Ikea sells a three tier trolley. This was a life saver! You don't have much room in the cupboards, often only 2 cupboards and 1 shelf in the fridge. Having a trolley for food that doesn’t need to be refrigerated or for your utensils, it is so much easier
2. organisers for your cupboards - if you have plate stackers, mug organisers etc, it will be a life saver!

3. throws and blankets
4. decor - pictures, tat, organisers, things that remind you of home

6. hangers
7. mirror (one for on your desk, one for your room)
8. lamp
9. makeup organiser
10. electronics and their chargers
11. clothes, shoes..

Liv’s bedroom lifesavers

• clothes organisers - Ikea has a cubbyhole hanging organiser for wardrobe which will help to save room
• wicker baskets - for shoes, clothes, underwear - they look nice and are practical)

• Ikea trolley (for all of your bathroom essentials (often there isn’t enough space)
