As the ball drops in Times Square, we tend to think about all the other balls we’ve dropped in the past year, and how to get things back on track. So, if you’re like us, we want to be as organized as possible in the new year.
Here are some easy room organization ideas to get you started …
Closet Storage & Organization
1| Cheap & Neat
Laundry hampers, inexpensive plastic drawers, and a smart organization system—this closet storage hack will work for anyone’s space.
2| Criss-Cross
Criss-cross storage like this example from the Container Store will keep ties, socks, scarves, and other small pieces of clothing color coded and easy-to-grab.
Garage Storage & Organization
3| Pushing up Pedals
The secret to better garage storage? Your ceiling! There are a ton of ideas (like this one from Pinterest) and gadgets (like the one pictured above) to organize more garage stuff ... in less room!
4| Perfect Pegboard
This is the easiest way to see every tool you have at a quick glance—and it looks pretty awesome, too. This garage storage method also uses very little horizontal space.
Pantry Storage & Organization
5| Labeled are Lovely
If you have nice handwriting, this idea is for you. Label pull-out storage bins with general categories, i.e., bread, snacks, spreads, seasonings, and fill each bin with your fixings.
6| Say Hi to Susan
A Lazy Susan can work for any items at a relatively similar height. Think spices, bottles of oil, sprinkles, canned goods, and more.
Kitchen Storage & Organization
7| The Ideal Fridge
This might be the best fridge organization we’ve seen. It uses lots of clear containers and jugs, and separates by type of food, age group (parents vs. kids) and height. Amazing!
8| Orderly Lids
Are you storing your pot lids flat? Here’s some news: there’s an easier way! Target has an organizer just like this for $10.
Desk Storage & Organization
9| Elevate Your Storage
When you raise your computer monitor up to a comfortable height, you expose quite a bit of storage space underneath.
10| Just-Right Racks
Reach organization nirvana with buckets, hooks, and towel racks (bars). You can hang as many levels as you need to keep everything (writing implements, tape, paint, bills) neat and tidy.
