Organizing Ideas. Ideas for organizing your crafts, kitchen, and bathroom to maximize your storage potential in your home.
Today, I have rounded up some of my favorite organizing ideas to help you maximize the storage space in your home. Today we are talking about using vertical space that you might otherwise not think of to use to store your items around the home.
Shoe Organizers
Hanging shoe organizers can be used for so many things. You can use them to house smaller crafting supplies, kid’s art supplies, small packages in your pantry, mittens, scarves, and hats in your closet. The possibilities are endless and they are not overly expensive.
Art Supply Storage
Corral paint brushes, pencils, and paints in a canvas shoe organizer. Use curtain clip rings to hang it from a curtain rod.
Craft Punch Storage
Use a clear plastic shoe organizer to store bulky craft punches. Easily see and access what you have at any time.
Cabinet Door Storage
The back of cabinet doors are often left empty. Utilize this under-used space to increase storage in the kitchen and bathroom.
Shoe Organizer
This one combines a shoe organizer and the back of the door – double bonus points! Trim down a regular-size organizer to fit behind the cabinet door. Attach with command strips and a hanging rod.
Cabinet Door Shelf
Build a custom shelf inside the cabinet door to hold cutting boards. You can also purchase a metal hanging organizer if your DIY skills are rusty.
Magnetic Storage
Attach a metal sheet to the back of the cabinet door and use magnetic containers to get all your spices and measuring supplies organized.
Hanging Storage
There are so many options for over-the-door hanging cabinet storage. This can free up space from beneath the cabinet and allow you to access your most used supplies easily.
Baskets and Bins for the Kitchen
Baskets and bins are great for organizing shelves and closets, but have you ever thought about using them in your refrigerator or freezer? This is an easy way to keep like things together.
The plastic bins with handles allow you to easily move things around. And the teal color is so pretty!
You can even set up bins for snacks for your younger kids to be able to help themselves. Keep lunch making supplies together to make mornings easier!
Bonus Organizing Tip
Last, but not least. Have you ever needed to unplug an electrical cord but couldn’t figure out which one to unplug? This is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” type projects.
Use your plastic bread tabs to organize the cords plugged into a power strip. I have also labeled the cords using my label maker. I print out a sticker and then just wrap it around the cord.
So get out there and get organizing! You will be so glad you did. Do you have any simple, inexpensive organizing tips to share? I would love to hear them.
Want more organizing ideas? I have a ton of great ones pinned to Pinterest.
