Below are some minimal but largely impactful small home organization tips and tricks. There won’t be any influencer fluff storage containers for every little drawer/repackaging that just costs money and eats up your time. Organization should make your life easier!
Hanging laundry baskets
Oh hello floor space. Leading with the best tip here. I only thought of this once I had a baby that was pulling on the laundry baskets to stand and I was worried they would fall on her and they ended up being one of my favorite things ever. They’re so cute, but still you don’t have to look at them. I hung them on the inside of my closet doors using the hooks it comes with and never looked back. They even have a zipper on the bottom for easy depositing of laundry into your washer! I’ve had these for over a year and they’ve held up great even with being washed and dried once a month. Plus they’re linen!
The donation bin
Have at least ONE somewhere in your house, ideally near the areas you collect the most stuff. Mine is in my bedroom which is next to my daughter’s room. Haven’t touched that thing in a year? In the bin!! I do a monthly assessment of our belongings because the things we own are not owning us this year. Less is truly more. I use one thats easy on the eyes so it is functionally a part of my room, allowing constant easy access. These ones are great because they have a lid to hide the pile!
Cute toy bin
So your living room is overrun by kids toys? Tale as old as time. You would never know the chaos this wicker ottoman/storage basket contains. Actually just put everything in a cute basket and it’s fine.
Jewelry drawer
Once you’ve decluttered a bit you might realize you have an empty drawer in your room. I used to keep my jewelry out on my dresser until I realized looking at it was stressing me out. So. Many. Little. Things. It wasn’t the decor I wanted it to be – it was clutter. I got these jewelry organizers and moved everything into a drawer!
Under bed storage
Ok most people utilize the space under their bed, take it up a notch and get these bags! That way you can group the things you’re stashing into categories, and keep dust out.
Hooks on the doors
When you have little floor space and even less counter space – go vertical! Hooks on the walls, hooks on the backs of doors. Hang the backpacks up!! I like the door hooks because there’s no installation process. These have cute wooden accents that bring in a little warmth. They are durable + very well priced.
Pegboard
On the note of going vertical, these pegboards are great for offices and storing kids art supplies.
Kitchen cabinet lazy susan
I have basically zero pantry space in my kitchen, so a turnstile like this one is a must have. It allows me to easily see whats in my deep corner cabinet that serves as my only pantry space.
Fire/water proof document safe
Ok kinda boring but important nonetheless. This is a regular safe’s affordable cousin. If you don’t want to splurge on an actual safe, get one of these locking fireproof/waterproof safes for your important documents!
I hope some of these tips can give you some peace and calm in your home!
