10 Best Fridge Organisers UK 2023 | Luxear, SILVIO and More

Check the state of your fridge, ideally just after you've filled it with a big weekly shop, to see which items need re-homing. Is your fridge filled with impossible-to-stack yoghurt tubes, overflowing with fresh produce or a cheese-eater's dream? 

This will help you to calculate the number of storage solutions required to organise your fridge. Two large containers may be enough to hold all of your snacks, whereas a selection of smaller tubs might be better for a selection of berries. Each family member could even have their own colour-coded storage in the fridge.

Mixing and matching storage is probably the way forward for most households. Plus, if you don't end up using all the boxes in your fridge, they can come in handy elsewhere for organising make-up and craft bits.Take a photo of your fridge at its most disorganised, and refer to it when choosing storage - then look smugly back at the photo once you've conquered the disarray!

Help keep your tidy fridge well-stocked by keeping a to-do list pad in your kitchen.

Glass storage containers are certainly more Instagramable, but they do carry the very real risk of smashing and causing injury - nor do they lend themselves to being stacked high inside your fridge either, due to their weight. That said, glass is brilliant if you want to microwave or bake leftovers, and toughened 'Borosilicate' glass is perfectly dishwasher safe. 

Plastic storage containers are lightweight, and don't carry the risk of smashing. You can stack them high and fit them intricately together like a giant game of Tetris, if you so desire. Some are even dishwasher safe, but do check, as those which aren't will warp if exposed to heat or hot water for prolonged periods of time. 

Why not get your pots and pans in order with these kitchen cabinet organisers?

Many fridge organisers are transparent, making it possible to see at a glance what is contained inside. Some boxes even come with a handy draining colander insert. Although, this feature will make it harder to tell what is nestled within.

Some organisational aides come with colour coded handles or are part of a single colour set. A great choice for busy households, assigning a coloured basket, or set of boxes, to each family member could stop the entire fridge being raided in the search for a favourite snack!

If it's time to tackle your dressing table, our best makeup organisers will help!

• Air vents within storage box lids can be opened or closed depending on what is to be stored inside. Fresh fruit will last longer if vented, thanks to the airflow reducing humidity (and the likelihood of mould), whereas fresh vegetables need the air vent closed. However, you should avoid storing items with a pungent aroma inside vented boxes to prevent lingering smells inside the fridge.

• Draining trays may be an unobtrusive layer of plastic mesh at the base of the storage box, or a full colander-like basket. If you want to wash fruit and vegetables easily, straight from the fridge, then a made-to-measure drainer is useful, but can make seeing what is inside the box more tricky.

• Air-tight seals are formed by the inclusion of a silicone ring within the lid. This forms a tight seal when clipped shut. These are useful for sealing in foods with strong scents, even though the fiddly clips mean it takes longer to access the food within. They are, however, ideal for packed lunches as they prevent leaks.
