The Best of Everything: Home Organization Gear.
I often receive questions about organizing tools, and though I’ve shared ideas in scattershot fashion across many posts, I thought I’d organize everything in one post, sorted by room. Because we’re all stuck inside so…maybe a good time to tackle some of these projects?
My leading tip for keeping clutter to a minimum is investing in a lot of these Stori plastic bins (seen above), as they line more or less every drawer in our home…
The Best Closet/Dresser Organization Gear.
+Drawer dividers — much easier to stay in the habit of folding clothes neatly with these in place.
+Slim velvet hangers and hanger clips.
+Fabric cube storage bins — we have a great closet with built-in shelving, and many of these bins slide right in / along the top shelf of our closet. Easier to keep things organized/tidy-looking and then you can just select the bin you need. I also have used these (different shape) for the children’s clothing. I like the window on the side so you can see what’s in there.
+Ziploc space bags. If you’re really short on space, these are the best way to keep out-of-season clothes compactly stored.
The Best Bathroom Organization Gear.
+I organize all back-up/sample cosmetics and skincare in these pouches, organized by hair, makeup, skincare, travel, etc, and stow them all in a big tupperware.
+Medicine cabinet / drawer organizers — and these, too. I have these in all shapes, sizes, and configurations.
+Bath toy bin (< +Pottery Barn glass canisters for qtips, the best facial cotton known to woman, etc. +Cutlery organizer — the expandable one fits nearly any drawer size. +Shelf risers are a must if you’re short on cabinet space. These are incredibly heavy-duty and well-made. +Gorilla grip drawer and shelf liner — great for cabinets housing pots and pans. +If you don’t have a dedicated drawer for baggies/saran wrap/foil, I loved these for keeping them organized under our sink. +Soda/sparkling water organizer for fridge. +Snapware. +Stepstool — pretty enough to keep out. +Tosca storage baskets — great for stowing bulky/awkward things like bags of chips or pasta. +Pencil boxes — I use these to stow batteries, tape, pens/markers, staples, and other miscellaneous supplies. +IRIS storage bins and sterilite storage bins for a range of things — we use these for everything from mittens/gloves to stationery to art supplies. +White plastic storage bins — great for under-sink / laundry, too. Inexpensive but great way to keep “like” things together — i.e., all overflow toothpaste and toothbrushes and floss; all cleaning supplies; all dog gear; all light bulbs. +Acrylic cube for medicine/first aid. We use the different compartments for things like bandaids, cold remedies, stomach ailments, etc., so all is easy to find. +Over-the-door ironing board hanger. +Stackable laundry baskets. These never warp/crack and the handles make it easy to carry. +If I had the space — this hanging rack. +Minky ironing board and Rowenta iron. +This is advertised for the bathroom, but in my old apartment, I actually slid something just like this right alongside the washer/dryer and it was a great way to hide all our laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and cleaning products. +Cutlery organizer — the expandable one fits nearly any drawer size. +Drawer organizers – – shapes are great for stowing diapers, tiny socks, etc. +Laundry hamper — currently on sale! I have this in the blue for Hill’s nursery. +Ikea Kallax shelving unit and rattan bins. +Label maker — I use this on everything from my spice jars to those white plastic storage bins. I’m mildly to moderately obsessed. P.S. How to build a baby layette. P.P.S. The best affordable sources for stationery. P.P.P.S. Spring fashion under $100.
