5 Storage Tips to Organize Your Home
It’s easy to get complacent, working around parts of our home that don’t quite function the way we wish it would. Well, the new year is the time for a refresh, whether you’re tackling the full home or one nook. Here are all our must-haves to add more function and beauty to every room — from putting away the holiday decor to keeping the kids’ playroom tidy.
Shop Storage & Organization
01
Cabinets & Drawers
When you want messes tucked out of sight, look for furniture with drawers. For storing bigger items like pots and pans, look for kitchen islands with deep spacious drawers. But for smaller gadgets, wires, or knickknacks, media consoles or nightstands with shallow and wide drawers will be a better fit. As for all your random items with no home, a sideboard can be your ultimate catch-all.
02
Shelves & Wall Hooks
For smaller spaces — think bathrooms, entryways, or laundry rooms — it’s time to creative on the walls. Not only do you maximize floorspace, but this method of storage is great for displaying beautiful items. Consider a bookcase tower for rooms with higher ceilings or floating shelves for areas lacking wall art and visual interest.
03
Bins & Baskets
Baskets, cubbies, and bins are fun and stylish ways to keep a clean and organized space for kids and adults. We recommend sticking with an easy categorization system, whether it's color-coding the bins or labeling them to easily identify the contents.
04
Trays & Bowls
Everything needs a home, even little bits and bobs. Pool them all together in convenient trays, jars, and small decorative bowls — artful ways of bringing order to every corner of your home. Plus, relying on these small storage solutions means you’ll never have to root through your sofa cushions to find a missing trinket.
05
Multipurpose Furniture
Last but not least, we all love a multifunctional design. Storage beds, coffee and side tables with drawers or built-in magazine racks, and storage benches, poufs, and ottomans, are all crafted to solve more than one problem at a time. It’s the perfect amalgamation for a home that’s tight on space or budget.
