Space saving hacks

I'm forever coming up with ideas on how to make the most of our much smaller van.
I bought a chopping board on eBay with an inbuilt drawer to put you cutlery so now have a empty spare drawer to fill with other crap ...��

Today's diy is making a "ceiling wardrobe" no idea how I'm going to do it but I go my saw and tape measure out so I mean business

Save yourself the time and don't bother lol, I take enough clothes to last a month of Sunday's, be prepared and all that, but find I hardly use any of them, unless you're planning on spending lots of weeks away at a time then a small emphasis on SMALL cupboard full will do.

Sue I gave up after ten minutes, nearly done a Nigel and took me bloody fingers off with the saw And the process broke my bread bin cupboard in temper
Your right I use a small ottoman box which doubles up as my foot stool to put clothes in for now....

Hmmm now for the next plan ....

Not seen one of those before, neat idea.

Another space saving idea

We put all our herbs and spices in two stackable plastic boxes. I reuse plastic pill boxes instead of the glass ones they often come in. The boxes mean I can stack them higher and they don’t roll around.

Like this thread idea. Keep ‘em coming please

''doing a Nigel'' can be used as a quick and permanent way of losing weight

Has anyone used these? Thought they might be useful to stop rattling but wonder if they get really sticky!
Like the bamboo drawer... haven't got any drawers in new van and thought we might fix it inside a cupboard.

I can't open the link for some reason ... we have one drawer and some cupboard space but it's not enough ... I have seen over the door shelving that may be useful.
I will try and out the link

Like the idea, in theory they look brilliant. Don't think you could use them when travelling though.
Very tempted, trouble is, i buy stuff and if it doesn't work but is cheap I don't bother sending it back.
