Out with the Old, In with the New Easy De-Cluttering Tips for the Home


This ingenious idea takes the nightmare out of finding a matching lid for Tupperware or other food storage containers. Simply fasten CD racks in your drawers or cabinets to segment different lid sizes. The rack also helps keep organization intact as time goes on, as you can simply put each lid back where you found it.

A toy chest can be used for many purposes – not just toys! Wooden chests are a classic way to store loose items like shoes or supplies. Another great usage for wooden chests is to rotate seasonal clothing.

For example, storing summer clothes during the winter months, then swapping those items with sweaters and scarves when the weather turns warm again.

Rather than invest in pricey drawer storage, simply pick up a handful of inexpensive ice cube trays! These are great tucked into closets or drawers to keep small items, like coins and jewelry, organized.

Best of all, they’re easy to remove, and even easier to wipe clean.

Over-the-door shoe hangers aren’t just for footwear! Try a cloth or vinyl shoe hanger with pockets in order to organize cleaning supplies. This would be especially useful in a broom closet – you can set aside one row of pockets for sprays, another for sponges, and so on, keeping everything neat and in one place.

The holidays can be chaotic enough without the need to de-clutter your living space! Try these simple tips to start every holiday season with an organized approach: •

To keep gift wrap out of sight, try a repurposed waste bin tucked into a cabinet, or horizontal bars affixed to the back of a closet door to keep paper easy to roll and cut.

Storing holiday lights is simple with cardboard – wrap each strand around a wide piece in order to prevent tangles.

For safe storage of fragile Christmas ornaments and bulbs, use recyclable egg cartons or individual cups (such as plastic party cups) so ornaments can’t collide and shatter in storage.

Crafty kids (and adults!) often need many supplies, the majority of them tiny and easy to misplace (such as beads or markers). Try these tips for craft storage: •

Use a metal wine rack organizer to display uniformly-sized jars on their side, filled with art supplies like pens or crayons.

Got a cache of ribbon or colored tape? Use an empty paper towel rod to display each roll, starting with the widest roll at the bottom.

Bait and tackle boxes are inexpensive and make a wonderful home for beads or other small supplies.

For most, simple drawer organizers will do the trick for keeping jewelry neat. For jewelry fanatics, however, backup is needed! Try a jewelry armoire for organizing dozens of pieces. A jewelry armoire is basically a mini dresser just for jewelry and accessories, and has hooks, drawers, and ring compartments for superb organization.
