Get The Look: 6 smart buys inspired by Lorraine's revamped storage area
Make like Lorraine and swap plastic boxes for pretty straw bags.
Each week, we take an Insta-worthy room in Ireland and show you how you can get the look yourself with high street buys.
This week, Lorraine O’Connor’s (@lorraine.oconnor.5686) organised kitchen corner was our inspiration.
“My friend suggested potato sacks as storage and when I was looking at a website I saw these fab hessian bags and thought they may look good as storage and also double up as the shopping bags that they are,” says Lorraine.
“I drew out what I thought they’d look like, and they fitted perfectly after measuring. I then stencilled the bags with what product is in each one.”
Below are six high-street products that’ll help you get this look in your own home…
1. Hessian bag, €2.95, Sacks.ie
This bag is an exact match with Lorraine’s clever storage system.
2. Wicker basket, €6.50, JYSK
A slightly different option, this basket would also work well for storing food and produce.
3. Plant stand, €40, Ikea
Make the most of blank wall space and display some greenery with this nifty plant stand.
4. Grey plant pot, €22 (£19.99), The Range
Muted colours tie in perfectly with Lorraine’s minimalist kitchen.
5. Hanging plant, €7, Ikea
Hanging plants are ideal to add on top of cabinets and appliances.
6. Artificial aloe vera, €34, Marks & Spencer
Different types of plants add life to any room – even if they’re fake.
