Are you searching for caravan storage solutions that are both budget-friendly and effective? Kmart’s ever-popular homewares can help you keep your caravan tidy and clutter-free. Below, we’ll explore seven genius hacks, share ongoing maintenance tips, and show you how to boost functionality with easy, space-saving ideas.

1. Embrace Collapsible Bins for Versatile Storage

Collapsible storage bins are a top choice for caravanners looking to maintain order without sacrificing space. Here’s why:

  • Clothing & Linens: Keep outfits and bedding neatly folded.
  • Groceries & Snacks: Separate dry goods for quick, hassle-free access.
  • Toys & Hobbies: Easily store board games, puzzles, or craft items.

Designed to look great while being functional, these bins fold flat instantly, freeing up precious cupboard or under-seat storage space when not in use, allowing your available storage to increase or contract according to your needs.

2. Maximise Doors & Walls with Over-the-Door Organisers

Over-the-door organisers transform under utilised vertical surfaces into practical storage areas. Attach them to the back of bathroom doors, wardrobe doors, or even cupboard doors in your kitchenette:

  • Shoes & Accessories: Avoid footwear piling up near the entrance.
  • Toiletries: Keep shampoo, soap, and toothbrushes upright and leak-free.
  • Cleaning Supplies: Tuck away sprays and sponges, keeping surfaces clear.

With a number of option available to suit different setting and applications, we suggest you explore some of the options in Kmart Australia’s home organisation range to find a style that suits your caravan’s interior.

3. Tidy Drawers with Dividers & Caddies

Maintaining order in cramped caravan drawers can be a challenge. Drawer dividers and plastic caddies help you:

  • Separate cutlery, utensils, and smaller items to prevent tangling.
  • Store first-aid supplies, makeup, or electronic cables logically.
  • Minimise rolling and shifting when the caravan is in motion.

4. Install Magnetic Strips for Kitchen Essentials

Magnetic strips are a space-saving game-changer in tiny caravan kitchens. Secure them to the wall or backsplash for:

  • Knives: Easy to grab and safely stored away from drawers.
  • Spice Jars: Keep seasonings neatly labeled and within reach.
  • Metal Lids & Accessories: Avoid rummaging through cupboards.

These strips are slim, making them ideal for tight spaces. For more small-home inspiration, check out the LappingOz Ikea Hacks sections to see how everyday shoppers maximise storage at home and on the road.

5. Hang a Tiered Fruit Basket

A tiered fruit basket suspended from the ceiling or a sturdy cupboard is a stylish and functional way to store produce:

  • Keeps benchtops clear and clutter-free.
  • Adds a dash of visual appeal to your caravan’s interior.

6. Utilise Tension Rods for Extra Hanging Space

Tension rods require no drilling or permanent installation, making them a caravanner’s best friend:

  • Create a Mini Drying Rack: Hang dishcloths or small items of laundry.
  • Divide Cupboards: Keep pots, pans, and containers secure while moving.
  • Extra Wardrobe Rods: Instantly add room for hangers in a small closet.

By placing these rods between cupboard sides, or in narrow corners, you will be able to fully leverage any previously unused vertical space, increasing overall storage space.

7. Add Internal Shelving & Hooks

Transform a bare nook or tall cupboard into an efficient storage station with a few simple shelves or adhesive, or over-the-door hooks:

Place them between cupboard sides or in narrow corners to fully leverage vertical space.

Maintenance Tips for a Clutter-Free Caravan

  • Regular Decluttering: Schedule a quick tidy every few weeks to discard or donate unused items.
  • Follow “One In, One Out”: For every new item you add, remove an old one to keep inventory balanced.
  • Label Everything: A quick label on collapsible bins or caddies helps you find what you need fast.
  • Ensure Secure Storage: Add non-slip liners or bungee cords so items won’t shift while driving.
