Making kitchen clutter pretty

Egg Box and Egg Rack, £75, Clare Loves

When you have a weeny kitchen, you often have no choice but to keep a lot of stuff out and on display. So that the worktops don't always look messy, ensure that everything that you can't hide away looks pretty. This cool egg box, for example, can sit neatly at the back of the worktop or be wall-mounted. 

Acacia fruit bowl, £14, Next, picture credit Next

Most fruit and veg doesn't need to be kept in the fridge and some even keeps better out of it. This elegant Acacia fruit bowl from Next will look just as lovely filled with butternut squash, red onions and leeks as it would stocked with oranges, bananas and apples. 

Set of five microwave containers, £16.95, rigby & mac

Even food containers can look good stacked up on a shelf if you choose well. This colourful collection is also microwave safe.

Set of two Emily Red punnet baskets, £35, Berry Red

Cute baskets, meanwhile, are useful for holding bottles, tins, and bags of dry goods.
