Organizers help you arrange your items for simple retrieval.
If free space is at a premium in your home, you need to get creative with storage solutions to keep your belongings in check. Storage organizers provide simple, straightforward ways of grouping and categorizing your items so that you can retrieve and store them easily. Whether you're looking for hidden storage or stylish displays that double as organizers, a system for arranging your belongings will save you time and frustration. Does this Spark an idea?
Closet Organizers
Closets often become catchalls for miscellaneous items, so it's easy for the spaces to turn into a cluttered mess. Standard closet storage organizers include over-the-door hanging racks and plastic bins, but more unique options are fold-out drawers and color-coded cloth bins. To arrange your small items such as socks or ties, look for tall wooden chests with drawers that swivel out rather than pull out. Instead of simple plastic drawer units, consider wooden-framed units with interchangeable cloth-wrapped bins in a range of fabrics for easy coding of smaller items.
Wall Storage
Storage organizers don't need to be hidden away to be useful. Creative wall units offer ample storage space and a neat, simple option for organizing. Instead of floating shelves, which offer ample space for disorganized clutter, opt for wall-mounted individual drawers inspired by library card organizers; the drawers mount only 6 to 8 inches off the wall and include small cubbholes for storing pens, phone numbers or handy craft supplies. If you have a built-in wall unit with several shelves, glass doors offer a way to organize the shelves for a more useful space. Colored glass doors or doors etched with decorative labels are a personalized way to organize the contents of the unit.
Double-Duty Furniture
Furniture with built-in storage provides a hidden way to organize your space. Under-bed drawers eliminate the need for bulky dressers or bureaus; keep the drawers organized with drawer organizers that designate individual spaces for each item. Manufacturers sell cloth drawer organizers that divide your drawers into small compartments, but you can create your own organizers by lining your drawers with a grid of painter's tape. Ottomans or footstools with hidden swivel drawers provide space for storing magazines and remote controls.
Filing and Paperwork
Keeping important documents well-organized is essential for maintaining accurate records, but filing cabinets can be ugly and bulky. Some manufacturers are creating filing cabinets that resemble traditional wooden nightstands and feature an upper and lower storage are that looks like four smaller drawers from the front. If you prefer color, look for colored acrylic filing cabinets with bold colors like red and yellow; the colors not only brighten up your space, but also provide a built-in system for coding sets of documents.
