A professional home organiser has shared her one hack to keep even the smallest of shoebox homes decluttered - costing less than £3.

Britnee Tanner, 37, runs her own home organisation business and spends every day helping people declutter their lives and homes.

Britnee, from Salt Lake City, Utah, says limited storage space was something she also struggled with in years gone by, living in a small flat in LA.

But Britnee insists even tiny homes can stay neat and tidy - by maximising storage space.

Hangers, drawer tidies, stackable containers, underbed storage and some nifty organisation can be all it takes to keep your home in good shape, Britnee says.

Her favourite tip - which can cost as little as £3 or less - is to use as many wall and door hangers as possible - to "make use of vertical space"."

She said: "Often when people are moving into a new space, they are in a rush to get things out of boxes."

"They put things in places that don't make sense in your day-to-day routine, and can then live with that for years."

"The biggest thing for unorganised people, is they don't have a system."

"But there are a lot of things someone can do to utilise their space, even if it's limited."

Britnee said when people move into a small space, they rush to get things moved in and "throw it in anywhere"."

But she suggested taking some time and tackling the problem room by room - even if it takes longer to complete.

She said you should consider routine to decide what to put where - so that things are convenient for when you need them.

For example, things used daily, such as your bags and jumpers, shouldn't be tucked away in a box, while camping gear used just twice a year gets a prime spot in the wardrobe.

She said: "Give yourself a week to unpack and see where things actually need to be."

"Maybe instead of the closet, think about some underbed storage - which can be great."

"You can get pull-out containers with lids - great for storing seasonal clothing, holiday decor, camping gear, and sentimental things you don't use that often."

She suggested making sure that you maximise vertical space in a small home.

This could include high-up shelving, above doorways, or storing shoes vertically instead of on the floor.

She added that people shouldn't "underestimate a simple wall hook" to keep coats, umbrellas and bags off the floor in the entrance which organisers refer to as 'the dropzone'."

In the kitchen, Britnee said people often overlook that shelving in kitchen cupboards can be adjusted to better suit your space needs.

Britnee recommended adjusting the shelves then measuring the space - and then purchasing stacking containers that fit.

She said: "If you have a blank wall, maybe by a little dining area, that could be an option to add a tall cabinet for appliances, and extra pots and pans."

"And again, hooks can be useful, for hanging mops, brooms and rags, so they're not on the floor in the corner."

Britnee said the kitchen should be the first room that people tackle when moving into a new place, as "kitchens are the centre of your space" - followed by the bathroom."

She said: "Having the kitchen set up can feel really good, the bedroom can come later - even if it's just a mattress on the floor."

As for bathroom organisation, she suggested adding as many hooks as possible to hang towels.

She said the space on the wall behind the loo is often underutilised - as well as the space above the doorway, where shelves can be added.

Britnee's final tip is purchasing some items to help with the process of organisation in the bedroom - and recommends "a unified hanging system" of matching hangers as well as draw dividers of different sizes."

She added: "When organising, the most important thing to think is - how will I use this on a daily basis?"

"Make sure you consider what makes sense for your day-to-day routine."

BRITNEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LOW-SPACE LIVING:
- Buy lots of strong wall hooks to hang things vertically
- Buy drawer dividers
- Buy stackable storage containers
- Affix shelves to higher spots such as above doorways
- Unpack the kitchen first - and bedroom last
- Consider adjusting your kitchen cupboard shelves
- Purchase some well-sized underbed storage for less frequently-used items
- Buy matching hangers for your wardrobe
