Out with the Old, In with the New Easy De-Cluttering Tips for the Home

Kitchen Storage

CD Rack For Container Lids

This ingenious idea takes

the nightmare out of

finding a matching lid for

Tupperware or other food

storage containers. Simply

fasten CD racks in your

drawers or cabinets to

segment different lid sizes.

The rack also helps keep

organization intact as time

goes on, as you can

simply put each lid back

where you found it.

Bedroom Storage

Toy Chest

A toy chest can be used for

many purposes – not just

toys! Wooden chests are a

classic way to store loose

items like shoes or supplies.

Another great usage for

wooden chests is to rotate

seasonal clothing.

For example, storing summer

clothes during the winter

months, then swapping

those items with sweaters

and scarves when the

weather turns warm again.

Closet Storage

Ice Cube Drawer Dividers

Rather than invest in pricey drawer storage, simply pick up a handful of inexpensive ice cube trays! These

are great tucked into closets or drawers to keep small items, like coins and jewelry, organized.

Best of all, they’re easy to remove, and even easier to wipe clean.

Closet Storage

Repurposed Shoe Organizer

Over-the-door shoe

hangers aren’t just for

footwear! Try a cloth or

vinyl shoe hanger with

pockets in order to

organize cleaning supplies.

This would be especially

useful in a broom closet –

you can set aside one row

of pockets for sprays,

another for sponges, and

so on, keeping everything

neat and in one place.

Holiday Storage

Egg Cartons, Bins, Etc.

The holidays can be chaotic enough without the need

to de-clutter your living space! Try these simple tips to

start every holiday season with an organized approach:

• To keep gift wrap out of sight, try a repurposed waste

bin tucked into a cabinet, or horizontal bars affixed to

the back of a closet door to keep paper easy to roll

and cut.

• Storing holiday lights is simple with cardboard – wrap

each strand around a wide piece in order to prevent

tangles.

• For safe storage of fragile Christmas ornaments and

bulbs, use recyclable egg cartons or individual cups

(such as plastic party cups) so ornaments can’t

collide and shatter in storage.

Hobby Supply Storage

Wine Rack, Tackle Box, Etc.

Crafty kids (and adults!) often need many

supplies, the majority of them tiny and easy

to misplace (such as beads or markers). Try

these tips for craft storage:

• Use a metal wine rack organizer to display

uniformly-sized jars on their side, filled with

art supplies like pens or crayons.

• Got a cache of ribbon or colored tape?

Use an empty paper towel rod to display

each roll, starting with the widest roll at the

bottom.

• Bait and tackle boxes are inexpensive and

make a wonderful home for beads or

other small supplies.

Accessories Storage

Jewelry Armoire

For most, simple drawer

organizers will do the trick

for keeping jewelry neat.

For jewelry fanatics,

however, backup is

needed! Try a jewelry

armoire for organizing

dozens of pieces.

A jewelry armoire is

basically a mini dresser

just for jewelry and

accessories, and has

hooks, drawers, and ring

compartments for superb

organization.

Winter Storage

Quilt Rack

Quilt racks are designed

to clear space in a linen

cabinet and keep

beautiful quilts on display

in your home. This type of

storage would also be

great for small homes or

condos without laundry

amenities. When not

displaying quilts, the rack

can be used for drying

wet clothes.

This 100% solid oak quilt

rack is proudly made in

America and has two

uses for the price of one!
