Storage is a crucial need in any space. An
organized space is a must. Organization makes it easy to find things and easy
to work. Many people look for ways to store things in their home and office.
Storage options are all around and easier than ever to use in any area. Better
yet, you don't need to spend a lot of money to get a look that is sophisticated
and elegant. Think logically about the items you use every single day. You want
to sort out storage options that let keep the stuff on hand that you're using
exactly when you need it. Items like shipping boxes can be used creatively to
help you clear your desk and keep the rest of your house well organized no
matter what you're doing. From the kitchen to the bathroom to your work space,
organization is both crucial and easier than ever.
Organizing the Kitchen
Any kitchen is home to lots of items of all kinds
that need proper storage. Start with a paper towel holder. You can use it keep
anything you need on hand from wrapping paper to ribbons. The same is true of
your dish drying rack. You can use it to store dishes but also other items such
as cook books that you'll want to keep on hand to amuse the kids as you cook.
Old spice containers can also be used not only for spices but for other things
like paper clips that you need if you're going to send out thank you cards after
that birthday party. Take advantage of items that are designed for storage
already such as ziplock bags. You can keep item that you don't use very often
like those special place mats you bring out every Thanksgiving.
The Rest of the House
The rest of the house also benefits from
organization. Jewelry boxes can be used to store things like your makeup
products in the bathroom. They're elegant and easy to slip into a bathroom
drawer. Other items like glass jars can be used to store items like nuts and bolts
in your garage work space. You can also use items like velcro tape to make sure
all the plugs from your appliances are kept out of the way and don't pose a
tripping hazard. A coat rack can also serve as a another place to hang your
favorite jewelry so you can grab and go as you head out the door. Women can use
items like shower hooks to store extra handbags. Decorate old tissue boxes and
use them to store your excess grocery bags.
Your Office
Your office is another space that needs lots of
storage to work well. Use clear boxes so you can see what you have on hand at
all times. You can also take advantage of modern day desktop organizers and
desk organizers that make it easy to find things the second you need them.
Votive candle holders are another inexpensive solution that allows you to see
items like pens and markers that you want to keep on hand no matter what you're
doing. Consider the use of colored bins to help keep specific items in place.
