Boots, Shoes and Slippers, Oh My!

These boots may be made for walking, but no one wants to trip on shoes in your entryway. No matter how fabulous your collection, your house will feel more organized if your shoes are put away. Consider a shoe storage ottoman in your entryway, mudroom or even at the foot of your bed for a fun and fresh pop of color, as well as a place to easily put shoes out of the way and protected! Depending on your space and shoe collection, you can purchase a round ottoman or a rectangular, bench storage ottoman.

Have a large collection of shoes? A shoe chest can be both fashionable and functional, and give your expansive shoe and boot collection a dedicated spot that’s out of the way. Look for solid construction and features such as full extension, metal drawer guides, as well as one with all the extras, like a chest that features light that is activated just by opening the door. Plus, furniture with simple lines will keep your room looking stylish, yet clean.

Bye, Bye Bedroom Mess

Storage beds give you a place to rest your head, and stow away anything from clothes and accessories to books, games and more. Beds come with many storage options, including drawers on just one side, both sides and/or storage drawers at the end of your bed. A convenient storage solution for small rooms, these platform beds can offer more storage than a dresser, all without taking up any additional floor space. While providing the obvious storage benefits, these beds also help in keeping your bedroom looking clean by leaving more open floor space. It’s a minimalist’s dream, and a great organization hack for the rest of us. And adults don’t get all the fun. Storage beds or captain’s beds featuring under bed storage units make a great option for kids’ bedrooms, especially when siblings are sharing a room and space is at a premium.

Clear Kitchen Clutter

Our kitchens are sometimes the worst culprits when it comes to clutter. With all the dishes, cookware and appliances we have, it sometimes seems like the last thing we should do is add something new to our kitchen and dining rooms. However, some dining room storage items can help organize your dishes and more, helping you get the most out of your space and making it easier to concentrate on your kitchen tasks, as well as enjoying the fruits of your labor!

A dining credenza, sideboard or buffet can add storage space for your dishes and more, keeping these items out of sight, or at least neatly displayed. If your dining space is tight, consider a storage dining table. Featuring a shelf area under the table for convenient storage, these kitchen tables make the most out of your floor space.

If you have a lot of small jars, such as spices, taking up room on your countertops, you may want to add a wall-mounted shelf to get these items out of the way. Stylish shelves, like a metal spool storage shelf, can help clear the clutter and enhance your room décor. Trays, caddys and crates can also be used to help organize odds and ends in the kitchen, and add a stylish accessory to your space.

Secret Storage

While storage furniture can help organize your room and enhance your décor, some of the best storage items are hidden. Functional accessories, like storage ottomans and benches, can be added to any room to serve multiple functions. Providing extra seating or just a place to rest your feet, these items can also open for a place to conveniently store throw blankets and much more.

Follow these organizational hacks and your house will be looking its best well beyond spring cleaning.
