16 Organization Hacks For Every Space in Your Home
Whenever you think of organizing you first need to declutter. No matter what space you plan on organizing first pull out everything and get rid of any items you don’t use.
Having an organized kitchen and keep it like that it’s not very easy. At least I know it is for me.
My cupboards get messy all the time, and my pantry is like a black hole. I put stuff in there and I can’t find it when I need it.
After a while, I end up with multiples of the same item because I forget that I already have it.
1.Organize your walk-in pantry
Tiffany from Living Sweet Moments has a great post in which she shows you how you can make the best of using clear containers when organizing a walk-in pantry.

2.Deep Pantry
I, on the other hand, don’t have a walk-in pantry but a deep one in my kitchen.
The problem with this kind of pantry is that the items get at the back of it and you need to dig deep to find them.
I also used clear containers to organize my pantry but I had to tweak it a little bit. Because my pantry is pretty deep I didn’t want to fill it only with containers.
I didn’t want to have to take out 4 containers to get to the one at the back. Instead, at the back of the pantry, I keep my the extra boxes that I have.
After I fill up my containers if there’s anything left in the box I store the box behind the containers.
When the container is empty I pull the box from the back of the cupboard, fill the container. When the box is empty I put that item on my shopping list.
3. Small Pantry
I love how Joy from Joyfully Treasured completely transformed her pantry and she did it on a tight budget.
She made great use of wire baskets and matching bins. Her method of organizing is perfect for those who don’t like unpacking all their cereal boxes and dump them in clear airtight containers.

4.Under the sink
The cabinet under the sink is always harder to organize because of all the sink pipes but it’s still possible to do it with the right supplies.
Head over to Joy’s blog to find out how she organized her’s on a budget.

When I tried to organize mine I had a really hard time. My sink is on a corner cabinet and the cabinet has an unusual shape.
I always had to pull out my garbage can to be able to put something in it. Or I had to change it with a smaller one, but I didn’t think I would like to empty it 30 times a day.
I moved my garbage can and now under the sink, I store our liquor. Yes, you read that well.
I moved our liquor bottles under the sink. We drink only at big events so I don’t have to struggle to pull out stuff from there too often.
I only use the front of the cabinet for my dishwasher detergent and some small cleaning supplies. The rest of the cabinet is filled with liquor bottles.
5. Junk drawer
Everyone has a junk drawer and they are hard to keep organized. I couldn’t stand mine anymore so I got rid of it.
I keep a small bowl on my counter where we throw all the bits and pieces that we find around the house.
Once it’s full I go through it and decide what we keep and what has to go.
If you still need one, Erlene at My Pinterventures has a great post in which you’ll learn how to organize your junk drawer and keep it under control.
Using a drawer organizer and empty medicine bottles she organized even the smallest items in her drawer. Labels will help you find items easier and keep your drawer organized.

6.Organize your dish-washing supplies
Make your sink look pretty and organized while still keeping your dish-washing supplies handy.
Use a nice tray and some great looking soap and dish detergent dispenser like Emily from Small Stuff Counts did. I am in love with Emily’s soap dispenser, and the label she used makes it even better.

7. Control your Tupperware pile
Is your Tupperware driving you crazy? They are always piled up, you can never find the right lid and when you are looking for a specific one all get turned upside down.
If you are storing your’s in a small cupboard Emily is going to show you in this article how she organized her Tupperware.

8. Tupperware take 2
I am keeping mine in a lower cabinet and I always had to be on my hands and knees when I needed a specific container. To keep the madness in place I built pull out shelves for my cabinet.
I sorted all my containers and stacked them by size. To keep the lids nice and organized I placed them in some empty containers. I organized them by size also to make sure I can easily find them.
9. Nursery dresser organization
The nursery is another place where organizing is a bit tricky due to all the small items you need in there. When you’re planning out your nursery, first think where everything needs to go.
Use lots of separators in your dresser drawers to keep everything in place.

10. DIY Rope Basket
Keep your blankets and throw pillows in a rope basket so they are handy and organized at the same time.
This basket is very versatile and can be used to organize a variety of objects in your home.
11. Create a command center
A center command is a great way to keep your mail, meal plan, shopping list and calendar organized and nice looking.
I love how Aileen from Aileen Cooks, organized and styled her command center.

12. Fabric Organization
I have some fabric stored in plastic bins and I always have to dig through the whole bin to find the one I need. I think Erlene’s idea is very smart. She stores her fabric vertically in drawers using foam board.

13. Ball organization
I have 2 boys and lots of balls, and no idea on how to store them. I think Kallee from Creative Southern Home had a brilliant idea on how to make ball storing easy and stop the balls from rolling all over the garage floor.

14. Keep Toys Under Control
My kid’s toys are all over the house. There are toys in the living room, I step on them in the kitchen. If I want to take a bath I have to pull out of the tube 2 buckets of toys.
From time to time I wake up during the night with some dinosaur poking my ribs.
Having designated toy storage is a great way to try and keep the toys under control.
Maria from Pastels and Macarons has a great article filled with useful tips on how to organize your children’s toys.

15. Store Nail Polish on a DIY Rack
If your daughter or you have a big nail polish collection you can build a nail polish shelf and have it hanged in the bedroom or your bathroom.
Elaine from Radical Christian Woman has a step by step tutorial on how you can build a nail polish rack for your collection.

16. Nail Polish in a Cookie Jar
This nail polish storage idea is for those that are not that handy, don’t have room for a rack, don’t have time to build one or are way too lazy to do that.
I store my nail polish in cookie jars. You can keep your jars on the vanity or on a shelf as I do.
17. Christmas ornaments
After Christmas is gone we always have to think about the best way to store our ornaments, trees and paper wrapping.
I’m not sure if it’s only me but every time I put my Christmas stuff away I have a hard time fitting everything back in the containers I have.
Every year I buy something new and I need more storage space or ideas on how to store them.
If you have the same issue Dianne from Suburbia Unwrapped has some great tips on how to tackle your Christmas ornaments organization and storage.
