Design Your Own Shelfing With Real Organized Shelf Systems

Shorter racks are great for housing shoes in your closet.


Real Organized shelves are a brand of shelving systems that can help organize any room in your home. Real Organized offers a variety of types of shelves including freestanding wire shelves both short and tall and wall mounted wooden shelves that can double as decor. If you want to design a shelving system using Real Organized shelves, learning some tips can help you get organized in an orderly manner. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Look at the area you are organizing and decide how large or small you can go with shelves. For example if you are doing a pantry you'll want shelves that can hold lots of food and dining products such as a Real Organized five-tiered wire shelf. If doing a smaller space like a closet, consider a smaller two-tiered shelf for shoes or jeans to fit below hanging garments, along with a wire rack wall shelf to install above garments.


2. Measure the space for shelving and write down measurements to have with you when are selecting shelving units. Allow room to stand. For example, in a pantry you might want to leave enough space in the center for a person to stand when looking for something.


3. Purchase shelving according to the measurements you took for the area and the needs you have assessed for shelving in that area. Real Organized shelving is a popular brand that you can typically find at most outlet hardware stores. Ask an employee for assistance if you have trouble locating it, or if you have questions about different shelves. Install shelving as the directions instruct, depending on the type of shelving you selected.


4. Pile together everything that will be put on shelving and separate items into categories. For example, if you are doing a pantry, you could have one pile of cooking ingredients like vegetable oil, flour, herbs and spices, along with a pile of breakfast cereals and other breakfast foods, and a pile of canned foods and non-perishable dishes. If you were doing a shelf for a child's room, you could do toys on one shelf, with books on another and another for board games.


5. Designate a spot on shelving for each pile to go. Put the stuff you will use the least or won't need to use right away, such as non-perishables in a pantry, in the harder to reach places and keep things you use daily like cereal or paper plates more up front so they are easier to access.


6. Label each section of grouped items with a label maker or paper and tape. To add some decorative flair you can use an attractive font. One idea is to make labels and secure them to shelving with some ribbons or other small d cor touches.
