Get organized anywhere
Shoe-in for all-purpose storage
Those over-the-door hanging shoe organizers aren’t just for shoes! Keep them all over the house—their handy cubicles will hold anything, from accessories to toiletries to spices to remote controls and video games. In kids rooms, the easy-to-reach pockets make toy cleanup a cinch.
A basket beyond the kitchen
A hanging fruit basket can hold much more than fruit. Try using it in the bathroom to keep washcloths and bath toys handy—you can hang it right over the shower bar. Or put it to work storing old rags in the garage or basement. Fill it with balls of yarn in an area where you knit or crochet. Have it hold hats and gloves near an entryway.
An attractive solution
Magnetic knife strips are a handy kitchen idea, but they can stretch a lot farther. They’ll grab keys near the door, matchbox cars in the playroom, nail clippers and bobby pins in the bathroom, and all kinds of tools in the garage. We’re positive you’ll find all sorts of uses!
Make removable labels
Not ready to commit to sticky labels? Just use plastic wrap! You can write right on the wrap secured around the item.
Gift wrap contained
Have an old hamper you no longer need? Repurpose it as a place to store gift wrap! Rolls of wrapping paper fit perfectly inside, and you can hang door hooks over the edges for rolls of ribbon and gift bags.
Create a dropbox
There’s one place in every household that gathers clutter like a magnet: gloves, scarves, and hats in the wintertime; sunglasses, sunscreen, and baseball caps in the summertime; house keys, gum, iPods, and cell phones all the time. Maybe it’s your entryway or the bottom of your stairs? Make a plan to contain it all! Place a small galvanized tub or other container in that hot spot, and divide it into compartments using strips of cardboard or foam core. Each family member gets a compartment to stick go-to on-the-go items inside.
Soap dish key holder
Tired of searching for your house keys every time you’re getting ready to step out the door? Install a mountable soap dish on a wall near the entryway, and stick your keys in the dish when you enter the house. Problem solved!
Stock up on toolboxes! Toolboxes are perfect for all-around storage—we use one to store craft supplies, another for extra school supplies, and yet another to actually hold our tools. As a bonus, they’re super portable, so you can use them for any activity that requires you to travel.
