Streamline Your Storage Spaces Making Room in a Crowded Home

All homes, no matter the size, could use more storage space. Everyone has their list of items that end up getting “put away” in different places — or those items they can never seem to find. Most homes can gain a little extra capacity through smart organizational systems. Here are a few tips for increasing organization and streamlining the storage space in your house.

A great place to start is to categorize the items you need to store. While having one or two spaces for miscellaneous items doesn’t hurt, the more junk drawers you have, the more likely it is items will end up there, making them hard to find and track. Find a logical, intuitive location for items, and you will be surprised by how naturally organization follows. You should think about the space an object occupies as an extension of the object itself — the way

your home is an extension of you. Specific containers will help you make sure items end up where they belong. The Container Store is an awesome resource for finding all sorts of useful storage contraptions that will fit spaces of any size and shape.
