1. Built-in cupboards and clever storage
@creatively.crisp Redoing my 6 year olds closet! She desperately needed stuffed animal storage and a place for her dress up clothes/accessories. I love being able to customize our house to our exact needs 🫶![CDATA[]]>🏼 #diy #closetmakeover #closettour #stuffedanimals #storage #stuffedanimalzoo #custombuilt #buildergrade #buildergradeupgrade #homedecor ♬ If We Ever Broke Up - Mae Stephens
Once your clothing has been washed and ironed, place them neatly in your closet. Should you have limited closet space, employ the use of plastic containers to store away apparel, shoes, or any utility products that would otherwise make your place look untidy.
2. Shelves are your friend
@shanicelashaystyle Y’all I’m getting there with this bathroom whew! I added a lil diy to this over the toilet shelving linked under bathroom on my Amazon store front in bio! It’s so easy to set up and it provides the needed space. I’m going to add more baskets up top for storage but wanted to keep it functional and decorated as well. Yes I’m changing my curtains next video 😭 #bathroommakeover #overthetoiletshelves #home #diy #decor #neutralaesthetic #modernhomedecor #amazonfinds ♬ I Wanna Know - Joe

Not all shelves need to be long, horizontal, or take up a ton of space in your home. Mounting smaller nooks to add essentials, such as toiletries, is a fantastic way to keep clutter off key areas, such as tables, and most importantly, the floor. You could also add smaller, cube-shaped, rectangular, or stagger shelving units in key areas in your home, which is a great way to optimally utilise space – especially if your home is smaller.
3. Purchase double-duty furniture
@zubeexox_ Love furniture that doubles as storage 🙌![CDATA[]]>🏽 #homedecor #homedecortiktok #hometips #organizedhome #organizingtiktok #organizationhacks #organizetok #homedecortok #fypシ #xyzbca ♬ Lollipop - Album Version (Explicit) - Lil Wayne
Making use of furniture that can be employed for more than one use is always smart. Purchase a work area cum shelving unit. Drawer beds that can be utilised to store various items are also a top trend at the moment.
4. Use add-ons

Employ useful add-ons and behind-the-door storage techniques within your closets to tuck away items that usually clutter up your space. This is a top-tier idea for all spaces and works wonders if you struggle to keep your place tidy. Add your hairdryer to your toiletry cabinet or spices to your pantry doors – do what makes sense for your place and watch how organised your home will look.
5. Use canisters for a quick tidy
@corinne_mymayfair Favourite budget organising products & how I use them in my home ✨ @kmartau #kmartfinds #kmarthacks #homeorganization #homeorganizationtips #kmartaus ♬ Still don't know my name - Kimotion
Looking for a fantastic way to hide your remote controls or electronic devices in your living room? Canisters are your best friend. These discreet storage items come in varying shapes and sizes and can be used to make your space look neater and more uniform, instead of having miscellaneous items strewn all over your home.
