Purses, yard utensils, kitchen supplies, and
other toss-it-in-the-corner objects add up
to become an avalanche when you open the closet
door.
You’ve seen the aftermath of these types
of disasters.
Digging through trinkets to find that special
pair of scissors or the exact tool you need
can be time consuming and frustrating.
Here are 15 easy do-it-yourself storage
solutions that will save you time, money,
and frustration.
Part 1 By Kerry Smith.
1.
Kitchen cabinets can be a tricky area to organize.
How many cups have you dropped trying to pull
out the one from the back of the cabinet?
With this easy solution, you’ll have easy
access to all your mugs.
Simply hang your mugs from the top of the
cabinet using a metal screw-in hook.
Your mug will hang from the top by its handle,
making it easy and accessible.
This also allows for quicker drying after
a wash.
2.
While we’re talking about hooks, do the
same thing with your small baskets in a closet.
A simple metal screw-in hook from a hardware
store makes it easy to hang baskets above
a shelf or in a closet.
This is also a great way to save dead space!
Storing things only in the bottom of a closet
wastes space, but hanging something from the
bottom of a shelf or from a hanger can always
save room.
3.
But what if you can’t hang something from
the top of the closet?
Long shelves that go back into the corner
are some areas which always seem to get junked
up with random things you need, but only use
once in a while.
Install a lazy susan into your shelf corner
so that less space is wasted and you can turn
the table to find the items you need.
This brings items in the back to the front
and vice versa, so you can remember what is
in the back!
4.
If things are feeling unorganized, rather
than making it into an obstacle course, get
things straight.
Even though your foldable lawn chairs can
easily double as a hurdle for intruders, hang
them on the garage wall using a couple slats
of wood angled upwards and nailed to the wall
or exposed beams there.
Then you can hang your foldable lawn chairs
upside down and retrieve them when needed.
5.
Shoes can be one of the most difficult things
to store, especially near entryways.
Many do-it-yourself solutions just plain fail
at storing shoes.
You don’t always have to be handy, though.
Try this fold out shoe storage bin which doubles
as the perfect sized bench!
It’s perfect for an entryway—you can sit
on it to put your shoes on, as it has a comfortable
built in cushion on top, which is also removable
if desired.
Stored away inside the bench, shoes are out
of sight and out of mind.
Unfold the easy-to-open rotary door to reveal
your perfectly organized shoe collection.

6.
The entryway isn’t the
only place that gets clogged up, though.
Need to find the bleach or Windex?
You’d probably rather call the insurance
company than dig through the endless bottles
and rags under the kitchen sink!
Knock over one bottle of cleaner and the cabinet
becomes the world’s largest game of dominoes.
Instead of digging on your hands and knees
under the kitchen sink, check out this Simple
Solutions cabinet drawer.
Enjoy the drawer divider, as you can store
more objects without it getting messy.
Made from an Epoxy-coated steel structure,
this easy to use pull out drawer is the perfect
organizer for under-the-sink projects.
7.
Looking for easy and cheap ways to continue
organizing your kitchen?
Another great way to store spray bottles under
the sink is to install a thin tension rod
inside the cabinet so you can hang your spray
bottles.
Scoot them from side to side or organize them
according to kind using this easy to install
tension rod.
If you don’t like the height, just move
the bar—that’s the beauty of a tension
rod!
8.
If your craft or sewing area is littered with
object of all shape, use a peg board to get
organized.
Peg boards come in all shapes and sizes, and
it’s easy to find baskets, small containers,
and wire holders to fit into the holes for
easy storage.
You can even paint it the color you want or
frame the sides before hanging it on the wall.
Use small buckets to hang from a hook on the
peg board where you can store rubber bands,
paper clips, pushpins, or other small items.
This is a great and easy way to get organized
at the craft station.
9.
Alright ladies—cooler weather is on the
way, so where are your scarves and tights?
If you’re like most, they’re probably
stuffed into an over-crowded drawer somewhere.
Keep them where they’re easy to find by
hanging them in a simple knot across the bottom
beam of a coat hanger!
Each hanger can easily store three to five
scarves or sets of tights.
Hanging in your closet, they’re easy to
find when you need a specific color.
10.
But what about storing smaller accessories,
like jewelry?
Armoires can be extremely expensive, and they
just take up more space.
One easy method is to use upholstery tacks
on an old piece of wood trim.
It looks classy and provides a nice place
to hang your jewelry from.
Push the tacks into the wood, and give it
all a new paint job before mounting it on
a wall.
This is a really simple way to get your rings,
necklaces, bracelets and other accessories
out of the bottom of the drawer.
It will also keep everything from getting
tangled.
11.
Corner shelves are one of the most fashionable
and easy to install space savers out there!
Have a corner that needs a little spicing
up?
Find a piece of wood and use a saw to cut
it into a triangle shape.
Simply mount the shelf in the corner using
large nails.
Make sure you’re hitting a stud in the wall
so your shelf is adequately supported.
You can also stack these shelves if you have
enough wood.
It’s the perfect shelving unit for an alarm
clock or vase that doesn’t fit elsewhere.
You can also mount these higher up in the
corner to avoid accidents by children or pets.
12.
The bathroom can also be a culprit for lurking
miscellaneous items.
Be ingenious and use spice racks nailed to
the wall to hold things such as hair spray,
bottles, brushes, soap, razors, or other items
which are usually left on the bathroom counter.
These are simple shelves made for spices,
but they can easily be repainted or decorated
according to your preference.
The nice thing about using spice racks is
that you can position them wherever you’d
like on the wall.
13.
The most annoying and awkward item to store
in the bathroom is the hair dryer.
Whether you have a turbo-powered dryer the
size of a machine gun or a small dainty one,
cords tend to tangle in everything (including
your feet sometimes).
Put a plastic magazine holder on the inside
of the bathroom cabinet below the sink using
screws, and this becomes the perfect hair
dryer holder when you open the cabinet.
Just fold up the cords and place it back in
the magazine holder and close the cabinet
door for quick storage.
14.
A hair dryer isn’t the only thing you can
store in a magazine holder.
Try fastening one to the inside of the cabinet
door below the kitchen sink to store your
aluminum foil and plastic wraps!
You can also use it for garbage bags or grocery
bags, and it can store pretty much anything
that will fit nicely inside.
and lastly
15.
You’re probably thinking okay, that takes
care of the big stuff in the bathroom, but
what about the small things like toothbrushes?
If you don’t want to store them in a toothbrush
holder, which is easily knocked over, cut
small indents on the edge of the cabinet shelf.
to hang your toothbrush from
Make the cuts small enough to where you can
slide a toothbrush in to hang it from the
actual brush, but not so big that it will
fall through!
"Looks like a bomb went off in here."
"Everything is so unorganized, I don’t know
how you find anything you need.”
“It’s not unorganized"
It’s an obstacle course for intruders.”
That’s it—a few simple and cheap methods
for easy and quick storage, so that you’re
making the most of the space in your home.
