Storage may be limited around your home, but that does not mean that you cannot make the best of your situation. While your storage closet may be small, you definitely have items around your home that you can repurpose and use to add storage space in any place that you like. Check out these awesome ideas – you may even find some that you want to implement now.
- Cord Organization with Binder Clips
Never though you would get those electrical cords organized? Think again. This is an awesome idea and if you have some binder clips lying around on your computer desk, simple open them up and attach them to the side. Slide your USB cords through the clip’s top and allow the cord to hang down. You can easily grab the USB and move the cord freely up and down to adjust the length.
- Use That Dish Rack
If you though your dish drying rack was only good for actually drying dishes, you were wrong. This simple household item can be used to store books and crayons, markers and coloring books, and so much more. If you are feeling creative, paint the dish rack!
- Store Those Hair Accessories
If you have a lot of hair accessories, you know how much of a pain they can be, especially when they are lying all over the counter and in drawers. To help you keep your hair accessories in order and organized, consider purchasing some canisters. You can easily access the hair ties and bows by opening the canisters and reaching right in.
- Put Take Menus in Order
If you like to keep takeout menus on hand for those nights that you do not want to cook, you need a place to keep them organized. Consider grabbing a clear folder and attaching it to the inside of a cabinet door. This way, the menus are readily available, yet they are contained and organized.
- Show Off Your Jewelry as Wall Art
If you have a ton of jewelry and you want an easy way to get to it and keep it organized, consider a framed jewelry holder that can be hung up on your wall. To do this, simply use an old picture frame and attach hooks to the interior side of the frame. Hang any piece of jewelry from the hook and then hang the frame on the wall.
- Keep Hair Clips and Bobby Pins Tame
If you have trouble keeping your metal hair clips and bobby pins in check, consider using a magnetic paper clip holder to keep them tame and organized. If you do not like the idea of the magnetic holder, consider repurposing a tic-tac case to hold all of your bobby pins.
