Mini-Makeovers, Big Results

Discover how Ayumi H. separates her larger organization goals into mini-projects that she can easily tackle with a few Yamazaki Home designs.

When I first discovered Yamazaki Home, one of the first items that caught my eye was the Tower Fruit Basket. Now I own both the tall and wide style, but the tall one is my favorite. There’s just something about the way it looks on my tabletop—it feels perfectly at home. I love seeing my family walk by and grab a piece of fruit from it.



I use the Tosca Fruit Basket inside my bread box to organize snacks for my daughter. Every day after school, she heads to the box and picks out a snack. The basket makes it even easier for her to find her favorites.

“Yamazaki Home designs offer plenty of storage but still look good sitting out, so our space stays tidy without feeling too empty or overly styled.” — Ayumi H.

I call my style “organized clutter.” I love a clean, organized home (of course!), but I can’t live in a space that’s too perfectly neat or minimal. I like having the things I love out where I can see them. On the other hand, my husband is meticulously organized and prefers everything to be put away. Yamazaki products make both of us happy. They offer plenty of storage but still look good sitting out, so our space stays tidy without feeling too empty or overly styled.

For example, we have a pet goldfish and keep gallons of water stored for biweekly tank changes. I really didn’t like seeing the buckets just sitting on the kitchen floor, so I purchased the 67-Inch Steel Storage Rack (Fridge) to organize the area. After that, I got the Bread Box to go with it—and from there, I kept adding more Yamazaki products. They’ve really helped me keep my kitchen neat and organized.



Currently, I’m on a mission to organize our kitchen cabinets. Adding the Square Lazy Susan has been a total game changer—it’s become everyone’s favorite! Each of us has different spices we like to use, and we all wanted them to be easy to reach. Now, thanks to the rotating design, we can just give it a spin and grab exactly what we need!



As part of my ongoing mission to organize our kitchen cabinets, I have my eyes on Yamazaki’s streamlined Spice Containers. I think they’re the perfect next step. After that, I’m planning to tackle the area under my kitchen sink, so the Two-Tier Cabinet Storage Basket is definitely on my wish list too.
