Cleaning the closet, packing boxes for charitable donations, clearing an attic or garage is not a favorite job, but there are times when it must be done. When that time comes storage is needed and ideas must flow when trying to create storage space without spending a fortune. No one likes to think there abode has become cluttered and unorganized but when you start to look in corners and find things put there for lack of a better place it becomes clear, there is a storage problem.
Now the time to become really creative can no longer be brushed aside. Finding a place to put all of all of those precious things too wonderful to discard is not going to be an easy task.
There are great ways to create storage with plastic bins that fit into the closet as wall shelves. Rubbermaid developed wonderful storage units many years ago, organizers for the kitchen and the closet. Adding stackable shelving to cabinets and drawers gives extra storage and clears away clutter. A child’s bedroom is an especially hard area to maintain proper storage but there is hope. Your local home and garden improvements store carries small square plastic shelving great for small toys, dolls, letters, practically any item imaginable and the shelves stand neatly along the wall with no installation.
Buying shelving is not always necessary, things already available can be used, an old dresser in the attic, build shelving into a wall area rarely used. Think creatively, how about using an old fishing tackle box for make up storage, cleaned of course. Pack items and label them carefully. Storage shelves placed in the laundry area take a tremendous amount of pressure off household clutter. There are many items that perhaps should be thrown away but ridding a home or garage of these treasures usually requires thought; sometimes years of thought. But until the items are ready for the trash, stackable shelving, wall shelving, storage bags and Lazy Susan’s are available and affordable to help.
