Attach the bases of Chinese steamer baskets to the wall for an innovative and cute way to organise keys, letters and other bits 'n' bobs neatly in the hallway. Use as many different-sized baskets as you like and arrange in any formation for a simple yet striking storage idea.

Step 1 Remove bases from your steamers by cutting the twine holding the bamboo strips together. This leaves you with the outer rings.

Step 2 Lay out steamer rings on floor in preferred arrangement.

Step 3 Glue rings together.

Step 4 When secure, hang steamer-ring unit on wall using small nails or picture hooks.
