Think square when it comes to kitchen canisters

This might seem rather sad and pathetic, but you are on this website because you inhabit a little home and you're desperate to grab every inch of space that you can. We have to help you do that every way we know how, so here is another one of our little tips: to maximise the amount of stuff that you can fit into your kitchen cupboards, you have to go square.
