15 DIY Organization Ideas
These tips will help give you a good foundation ahead of spring cleaning season.
1. Use Bins for Under-the-Sink Organization
Bins, bins, bins! They are the easiest way to create different zones for different cleaning items and whatever else you might keep underneath the sink.
2. Utilize Extendable Drawer Organizers
Extendable drawer organizers create a place for every item you need to store in a drawer. What doesn't fit doesn't get to stay!
3. Label Your Things
Labels are having a real moment going into 2023 and that's because they make organizing visibly easier.
4. Line Purses Up Side by Side
Keep purses in order by tucking the chains and straps inside and stuffing them with the paper if you have to give them more shape. Stand them side by side rather than hanging or letting them fall over on a shelf.
5. Store Bathroom Essentials in Clear Containers
Clear containers are crucial to the organizational process but they allow you to see what you need! You can't use what you can't see or find!
6. Add Clear Bins in the Fridge
CC: Clear bins! They work wonders in the fridge, too, for the same obvious reasons. You can't eat what you can't see!
7. Fold and Hang Denim
Folding your denim and stuffing it in a drawer? Never again. Fold over a hanger and hang in the closet. Each pair of jeans will be visible and you'll be more likely to reach for different jeans since you can see them better.
8. Add Baskets and Glass Jars to the Pantry
Pantry organization is one of the biggest trends of the year. To get in on the trend, outfit your pantry with clear, glass jars, loads of labels, baskets and more.
9. Upgrade Your Shower
Start your day off on the right foot organization-wise, beginning in the shower!
10. Add Secret Storage
Secret storage is the best storage, especially if your pantry is overflowing with too many spices.
11. Hang and Arrange Measuring Cups and Spoons by Size
Um, this is absolutely brilliant! Never misplace your measuring cups and spoons again.
12. Label and Separate All "Random" Cords and Plugs
Say goodbye to the one random box full of miscellaneous plugs and cords. Isolate each cord by type and label, label, label.
13. Invest in a Battery Organizer
Where are the batteries stored in your house at this exact moment? If they're loose in a drawer, closet, or you genuinely don't even know, it's time to upgrade to a life-changing battery organizer.
14. Roll Up Leggings
Roll your leggings up to create more room for your athleisure wear.
15. Hide Cables With Cord Organizers
Nobody wants to see all those ugly cables while watching TV! Pack them up neatly and store them in a cord organizer meant to hide excess cables.
