Put a dust ruffle on your bed to hide storage containers underneath. It’s an easy way to hide and grab linens that change with the seasons.

Give loose items “homes” in closed containers. If they are out of sight, your home feels more organized and you are more ready for dreaded “drop-ins.”

Hi,
We have a VERY TINY full bathroom (the only one!), and there is virtually NO cupboard or shelf space for towels and washcloths. UNTIL I purchased two of those hanging ‘canvas/vinyl’ type hanging sweater organizers (about $10 each!): they velcro attach to the shower curtain bar at the far end of the tub, facing outwards, and because they have only the front opening, stay dry! Now we have ample storage space for bath towels, washcloths, some other hard-to-place linens like extra toilet lid covers and bathmats, and they really don’t take up that much room at the end of the tub– in addition, being outside the shower curtain, they wind up providing even MORE protection keeping shower water IN the tub and not down the curtain and onto the floor!

I have gone to Homegoods and bought a bunch of really cute baskets with liners in them. They are great for organizing everything from your bedroom to your living room. I even have one in my kitchen for clean towels.

I’ve found an easy way to utilize the space on that skinny shelf in the middle of the fridge – put down a cookie tray and then instead of losing stuff in the back of the fridge, just pull out the tray and everything on that shelf is easily visible and reachable.

Last minute company coming over? Just grab a large plastic storage container, and make a quick run through the house while placing anything that is out of place in that container. Then throw the full container in the closet. This leaves time to run the sweeper and dust really quick too.

Later, when the company is gone, place the container on a table, and say ok everyone grab your stuff.

Keep a basket between the seats in your car to organize and prevent your stuff such as your purse, extra keys, cell phone, kleenex from sliding around and getting lost under the seat.

Rubberbands are a great item – not only do they keep things like pencils, pens, papers, and letters to be mailed together, but if you put shoes sole-to-sole, it keeps them organized while they’re stored in the closet. Just match the shoes’ bottoms and slip over a rubberband that is strong enough – they will make sure shoes are always snuggly placed together – especially for children!

Closet organization is enhanced thru the use of color coded hangers. This is especially true when moving those items from the laundry room / ironing room to the closets
