Home Storage Ideas

An organized home is incredibly gratifying. It allows tasks to get done more smoothly, cleaning completed more quickly, and projects processed more enjoyably. Plus, the tranquility and uncluttered emptiness of an organized home is a beauty all its own. These over-the-door storage products won’t tidy your entire home, but small organization projects are an encouraging way to start!

Storage doesn’t always mean clear plastic bins that you squirrel away in a closet. Small space dwellers in particular don’t have the luxury of hidden spaces, like basements, to keep stuff out of the public eye. And sometimes it’s nice to keep things close at hand, without having to rummage around in a closet for what you need when you need it. For these reasons and more, sometimes the smartest way to organize is incorporating storage into daily life.

Tiny houses and other super compact homes don’t just provide style inspiration; they should be mined for their smart small space living solutions, too. For example, I found ideas in the tidy Airstream home known as the Tin Can Homestead. Plenty of organizing lessons can be discovered in this incredibly livable 160-square-foot tiny house. And most recently, I came across a genius solve from a tiny house in Hawaii.

Even things that are neatly placed don't always look like they're "in their place."

It doesn’t look like a traditional walk-in closet, of course, but it does block off space that you can now use for one thing in particular.

A clean, organized, and well-lit home work space is a must. And what better time to tackle this issue in your home than the fresh start of a new year!

Even if you don’t work from home, carving out a space for productivity is important and a smart way focus on specific tasks without distraction.

Since you probably own more pairs of shoes than, say, sweaters, it can be tricky to come up with strategies for storing them. Creative shoe storage like over-the-door or under-the-bed shoe organizers become even more important if you have limited storage space (or if you just have tons of shoes).
