1. Have a designated junk drawer, and KEEP IT CLEAN<\/strong>
\nHaving a junk drawer is very helpful for miscellaneous items found around the house\u00a0that you don’t want to throw out quite yet. However, if left unattended, the junk drawer can become more of a nuisance rather than a convenience. To avoid this, make sure to go through the junk drawer every now and then to determine\u00a0what needs to be thrown out and what can be kept around.<\/p>\n

\"Pegboard<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Use Pegboards
\nIf your cabinets are too cluttered, grab a painted pegboard from your local hardware store, loop in metal hooks, and viol\u00e0! You have a new stylish and convenient way to store your kitchen-ware.<\/p>\n

\"Neatly<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Color Coordinating<\/strong>
\nAssigning everyone in your home a color for things like their toothbrush, towels, sheets, and laundry hamper can make clean up much easier. This simple solution makes it easier for everyone to find their things, and more importantly, put them away.<\/p>\n

4. Bread Bag Tags Transformed into Helpful Labels<\/strong>
\nFor organizing those pesky cords that inevitably get tangled up behind your TV set, save the tags from bread bags and use them as creative labels. With a label at the plug, you\u2019ll always know which wire is where and how to get at the right one.<\/p>\n

5. Cardboard Dividers<\/strong>
\nDividing dresser drawers with a few pieces of cardboard is a cheap, simple, and easy, way to designate what goes where in your dresser to avoid clutter, and so you can find what you need without rifling through your entire wardrobe.<\/p>\n

6. Use the Space Underneath Shelves<\/strong>
\nUsing an under-shelf wire rack can be very useful when trying to use all of your space efficiently. Often times shelves are left half empty because what you\u2019ve stored only stacks so high. Well with this new addition, you\u2019ll get twice as much use out of the same shelf.<\/p>\n

\"entry\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Have a Cleared and Organized Entryway<\/strong>
\nHaving a clear and organized entrance to your house sets a nice tone for you and your guests. Ideas for organizing your entryway could include a designated shoe-box, one long enough for shoes to be lined up next to each other, NOT on top of one another. Another easy idea is putting initials above or next to the hooks for clothes, so that everyone in your home has their own space to use and be responsible for.<\/p>\n

8. Have a Place for Your Keys<\/strong>
\nThink about how many times you\u2019ve searched all over the house for your keys. Keys are often strewn around the house without regard for when you\u2019ll need them later. Creating a convenient, and visually pleasing, place for your keys, makes for a much easier time getting ready in the morning. Instead of searching and starting your day on a stressful note, have a cute system you like, it could be a specific bowl for keys, or some makeshift hanger like the one pictured above.<\/p>\n

9. Magazine Holder Turned Shelf<\/strong>
\nIf you have an old magazine holder around your house that doesn\u2019t get much use, or if you just want a creative shelf, this DIY shelf is a perfect solution. All you need is a corner, a magazine holder, and screws or nails. In just a few minutes, what once was a useless corner in your home transforms into a convenient storage space in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

10. Take on the Closet<\/strong>
\nWhile it might seem daunting, tackling the clutter we all have in our closets, when done correctly, is extremely rewarding. Some steps to de-clutter your closet we suggest is using a shoe-holder as storage space for bulky clothing. If you\u2019re someone who loves their shoes and it\u2019s evident by how much room they take up, try storing them facing opposite directions. With the right\u2019s toe point to the back of the wall, and the heel facing the front of the closet. Or vice versa! This simple trick saves a surprising amount of space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
