Is it time to start organizing your home? If so, the first thing you want to do is plan what storage items you will need to accomplish your task. We are talking storage items that can be used throughout your house. Let's take a look at several storage items that will solve those clutter or disorganization problems.
Kitchen
Shelf Unit Storage
Storage items for the kitchen include cutlery trays, drawer dividers, plastic-covered wire or chrome-coated shelves for the pantry, stackable plastic drawers for the pantry, baskets, crates and rolling bins if room permits. There are also the usual canisters and counter storage containers.
Bathroom
Storage items for the bathroom are plentiful and include wall hooks for robes and towels, shower caddies, two-tiered towel racks, small plastic drawer units, plastic baskets with handles, tension-mounted vertical storage bar, small decorative boxes, and the list could go on and on! A great organization tool is a shoe bag hung on the back of the bathroom door to store such items as soap, cotton balls, disposable razors, hair clips, and other small necessities. A Lazy Susan installed in the cabinet under the sink gives easy access to those items that are hard to reach. Plastic rather than wood works best in the bathroom.
Bedroom
Bedrooms need lots of shelves, drawers, and hanging space. Make sure your nightstands have at least one drawer for personal items as well as to stash those magazines and books that seem to accumulate. Every closet needs adequate space to hang clothes but also shelves for folded clothes. There are a variety of closet organizational systems on the market. You can always choose components to put together that fit your needs. One of my favorite closet organizers is a slanted shelf for shoes that attaches to the wall with a bracket. You will want several of these-each shelf holds about three pairs of shoes.
