Home Storage Solutions
Do you have coats hanging on chairs? Are you tripping over shoes on the floor? Is this a familiar site in some parts of your home?
Well, I think we're not all as bad as the clutter in this picture, but you get the idea.
Clutter in certain areas of your house can certainly be overwhelming at times. Sometimes we just need to come up with some simple home storage solutions to keep the clutter to a minimum.
Our entrance to our basement was a mess, we had coats and shoes all over the place. After taking a look at the area I saw a blank wall so, I thought what perfect space for a coat rack. Then underneath the coat rack, I put a shoe rack, problem solved.
There really are some cheap storage solutions if you think about it.

Here are some bedroom storage solutions:How about some storage for the kids' rooms. We have four grandchildren and I gotta tell you that I've never seen so much stuff. Games, books, toys, clothes, you name it and it's there.
Our daughter picked up a couple of neat wall storage units with cubbies and cloth drawers. They are not very expensive and very easy to assemble.
Tip: If you buy a tall wall unit for storage and have small children I recommend anchoring it to the wall with some "L" brackets.

Then there is the entranceway in your home. Wouldn't it be nice if you had a storage bench to sit on and take off your shoes and still have room to store some things inside? I really wish that we had the room in our entranceway for one of these, but we don't.

Storage units are fantastic to help reduce clutter and organize your 'stuff' (as George Carlin used to call it). :) I have two of the Closet Maid 9-cube organizers which were the perfect solution for all my craft supplies. Everything is right where I need it and neatly put away. Love them!
ReplyDeleteI agree Pat, I also just love the Closet Maid products.Thanks and have a wonderful weekend :)
DeleteHow timely - in the middle of installing closetmaid shelftrack plus a coat rack with hooks to bring the closet under control :) -
ReplyDeleteI hope the install goes well. I do like the Closet Maid products. Thanks :)
DeleteI've gotten more cluttered over the last two years. I really need to de-clutter and organize. Part of the problem is not having the type of storage I want. I'd love to have a storage ottoman.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd love to have one of those myself but we just don't have the room for it. Thanks Dawn :)
DeleteI am amazed at how nice some of the storage units are these days.
ReplyDeleteYes, Brenda they really are nice and some of them are so easy to assemble. thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI'm afraid that picture resembles my house too much. Ample storage is nice, but there also comes a point when even that isn't enough and you realize you just have to get rid of stuff.
ReplyDeleteStorage problems drive me crazy. My house is actually meant for two, plus an occasional guest. Now we have my son living with us, and that meant moving my office to the den, which now is totally cluttered. I don't think any storage solution in the world would make a difference, because we also have too much furniture in the room, and I cannot talk my significant other into getting rid of any of it. But I like your ideas, Sam, so I will share, share and share, and hopefully the message will reach those kinds of people.
ReplyDeleteI agree Nancy, it seems like it never ends. You get one part of the house organized and mess up another. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing, my friend :)
DeleteOnce you get your storage problems solved, you are half way to the way to becoming organized. Thanks for the solutions you provided.
ReplyDeleteGood to to clean up with storage organizers.
ReplyDeleteGreat, who doesn't need more storage!
ReplyDeleteWe will be downsizing pretty soon, and these storage solutions are of great help :) Thank you Sam!!
