Organizing your home can be tricky, but it can make your life 10 times easier. Clearing up the clutter alleviates stress. It will put you and your housemates at ease. Read on for some tips on how to hack home organization and storage.
Hang clipboards—hanging clipboards is a great way to keep track of important information. You can either buy different types of clipboards and get creative to make your own.
Fridge magnets—if you don’t have fridge magnets, make some! Get creative, and try making your own out of bottle caps. You can also get a cute set from the store. Then, set up an organizational system for your magnets. It’s a great way to let everyone know what’s going on in the house, because everyone has to visit the kitchen at some point!
Repurpose tin cans—if you put some cute paper over a tin can, it can make for a great pencil or pen holder. It can also hold less obvious things, like flowers, scissors, or whatever fits best.
Food labels—you can make your own, or you can try out food label templates. There are different styles to choose from, ranging from vintage to minimalist. If you use a lot of bins or jars, you (and your guests) will be satisfied with this organizational system.
Bread tags for cord organization—okay, hear this one out: write on old bread tags, and wrap them around cords. You’ll know exactly which cord goes where, and you won’t waste any more time unplugging and replugging each one to see what lamp it corresponds with.
Repurpose an old drawer for underbed storage—if you have a piece of furniture you don’t use anymore and you’re lacking bins, try taking it out and using it under a bed. Chances are, it’ll look nicer than a storage bin. If you need it to move more easily, try adding padding or wheels to the bottom.
A wine rack as a towel holder—if you roll up the towels correctly, they’ll fit perfectly on an old wine rack. It's a great way to get some extra storage, especially if your bathroom is a small space.
Hopefully, you can use at least one of these to make your life a little easier. Now start storing!
