Turning the treadmill into a clothes rack, shoving shoes and sweaters into a pile in the back of the closet, finding that the miscellaneous drawer somehow has morphed into the miscellaneous room … let’s face it, we’ve all been there. Clutter takes on a life of its own, turning our homes into certifiable disaster areas. We may blame the problem on a lack of space, but in reality, just a little organization can take care of the problem.
So here’s the drill. First you need to clear everything out — see exactly what has been hiding at the bottom of your shoe pile. Then get rid of what you don’t need — as in, if you haven’t worn it in a few years, toss it or, better yet, donate it. Then there’s the matter of sorting and categorizing what’s left — not so exciting, we know, unless you’re Monica from Friends.
But to make your massive home organization project a little more inspired — not to mention fun — we’ve looked for items that not only help put things such as jewelry, pet toys, safety pins and scotch tape in their proper home — they give your home more style.
