Storage Organization Ideas

Kitchen Storage

• Make use of organizers in your kitchen, such as lazy Susans, under-shelf storage racks, shelf risers, door organizers, and mounted mug racks in your cabinets or pantry. Use roll-out cabinet shelves to give you easy access to things like cookware, appliances, food containers and dinnerware. Keep your kitchen drawers organized by making use of utensil organizer trays and drawer dividers. Organize your food and beverages with beverage can dispensers, water bottle racks, food storage containers and spice racks.

Closet Storage

• Keep your clothes neat and organized with closet storage solutions, such as closet accessories, closet systems, clothing storage and organizers. Neatly fold your clothes between shelf dividers and keep your ties and belts in tie and belt hangers or racks. Use under-bed storage bins or under-bed canvas storage bags for seasonal items such as sweaters or blankets. Use over-the-door racks to hang your purses or shoes. Shoes can also be stored in boxes or free-standing shoe shelves or cubicles.

Laundry Storage

• Organize your laundry area by using storage accessories such as laundry carts, hanger valets, over-the-washer storage shelves, hanger organizers and laundry sorters. Laundry carts and over-the-washer storage shelves keep your laundry detergent and accessories organized. Neatly hang several pieces of clothing on a hanger valet, and hanger organizers hold all of your hangers neatly in one place. Keep dirty clothes and towels separated with a double or triple laundry sorter.

Bath Storage

• Keep your shower organized with bath organizing products, like shower caddies or baskets, shampoo dispensers, bathtub caddies, corner shelves, and suction organizers -- such as hooks, soap holders and baskets. Neatly store rolls of toilet paper with a toilet paper stand, tissue holder or tissue basket. Store your toothbrush using a toothbrush holder; keep your makeup in cosmetic organizers and your hair dryer in a hair dryer holder or over-the-cabinet rack. Keep cotton balls and swabs in glass jars or ceramic or steel containers. Organize towels with over-the-door, wall or free-standing racks.

Garage Storage

• Store all of your tools -- such as brooms, rakes, shovels and hand tools -- in an orderly manner by using hooks, wall-mounted tool racks and magnetic tool holders. Keep your in paint cans, cleaning products and other items you store in your garage on racks and shelving units. Keep bikes, skateboards, kayaks, surfboards and skis on vertical racks, hooks, horizontal or vertical mounts, or stackable units. Sporting goods -- such as balls, rackets and golf clubs -- fit well in baskets and bins, or on shelving units and hooks.
