Ever since Marie Kondo appeared on Netflix to spark joy and help people with the clutter in their homes, everyone has been inspired and filled with ideas to help them get off their couch and start looking closely at everything in their homes. After all, no one wants to spend an hour looking for that missing sock or your favorite shirt. That’s just a waste of time which you can spend doing more important things. Clutter limbo is a bad place to be, and nobody wants to dig that hole deeper. Since Marie Kondo came to our consciousness to bless us with immaculately clean and organized closets, people on the Net have also posted their organizational hacks to help others, and we are thankful for them. They have made our lives easier. In the spirit of sparking joy, we have here organization hacks that will make you want to clean and arrange the things in your home, too.
Charming craft corner transformation
We all have hobbies, and one that we particularly like is needlework. With needlework, you need space, and we guarantee you that you’ll fill that space with plenty of threads and yarns, just like this lady. When quarantine happened, she turned it into an opportunity to organize her things.
Instead of sulking around, feeling bored, sitting in front of the TV, and gaining weight, she channeled her inner Marie Kondo and vowed to organize all her stuff. Well, the transformation has been nothing short of amazing, and we are all here for it.
Well, this is a good use of book-ends
When talking about book-ends, we naturally think of books and making sure they are organized. After all, that is their primary purpose. Who would have known that you could also use them for other things like organizing clothes and help create more space?
Who would have known that book-ends come in handy if you want to fold and organize your shirts in a drawer? Even Marie Kondo didn’t think of this hack. Thank goodness for people on the Internet who are willing to share their organizing secrets.
This hack will make sure your boots retain their shape
Boots are the perfect accessory for those cold winter months. They complete fall outfits, and they protect you from the cold during winter. Plus, they make you look very fashionable, too. However, the problem with boots is knowing how to store them properly.
You want them to retain their shape and keep them clean and nice-looking so that you can still take them out to wear after a few months. How do you do that? By cutting Dollar Store pool noodles and putting them in the boots. Simple as that!
Don’t waste perfectly good space
Every home needs a pantry. Otherwise, where are you going to put all your canned goods and other food items? However, not all of us are lucky enough to have a pantry with enough storage space. Some of us have to make do with what we have.
It’s not the end of the world yet even if you don’t have a massive pantry. The key is not to waste perfectly good space and make sure you use whatever you have wisely, as this person did. Use every inch of space, such as the space behind the door, which people usually forget about.
Vertical storage in the kitchen
Another area of the house that most people always complain that they don’t always have enough space in the kitchen. One of the most effective storage solutions in the kitchen that will enable you to find things quickly is vertical storage.
If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the best time to do so. Look at this photo for inspiration, and we know that you will get plenty of ideas from it. We know that kitchen organization is a big challenge for most households, but it’s an opportunity to get super creative.
Now everything can finally be seen
If you’re into calligraphy, drawing, or writing, you probably have plenty of pens, markers, and office stuff lying around your home, and they’re probably here, there, and everywhere. No matter how many pens you have, you just can’t seem to find one.
Do what this woman did and organize your drawer. You will be pleased with what you see afterward because it’s going to look like you’re selling markers and all other sorts of supplies. Look at how orderly everything is! You’ll be able to find everything easily.
A great way to store pants and shorts
Some of the hardest pieces of clothing to organize are jeans and shorts. Sometimes, you just don’t have any idea if you should hang them or fold them. Lucky for you, this lady is willing to share her organization methods that work just like magic.
She doesn’t hang her pants and shorts; she puts them in the drawer. Look at how tidy they are! It’s now easy to tell the difference between one pair of pants or shorts from another. We just hope they stay this organized for the foreseeable future.
Sage spice storage advice
Herbs and spices make our dishes tastier and more unforgettable. There are more than 80 spices in the world, some of which most people are familiar with, while others are not so much. Cumin, according to reports, is the most popular spice in the world.
It’s always good to have spices in the kitchen, but how do you store and organize them? This cupboard riser is an excellent idea because it enables you to see and locate everything easily. You don’t have to spend so much time rummaging through all your spices.
This is a closet we’d love to have
How many times have you opened your closet only to be horrified by what you see? Nope, there’s no monster in the closet, but what’s in it is much worse. You have plenty of clothes but always find that you have nothing to wear.
How does that happen? Well, it happens frequently to people who don’t organize their things and just throw stuff into the closet when they’re in a rush. The closet you see in the photo is one we’d like to have. It’s the closet of our dreams.
Get yourself a label maker
If you don’t have a label maker yet, it’s time you get one because it’s one of the handiest things you can have in the home, and it’s a worthy investment that won’t sit around collecting dust. It doesn’t have to be an expensive kind. Even the basic type will do.
Labeling makes it easier to find things in the home. You’ll be able to save plenty of time and spend it on more important things. Need some inspiration? Check photos on the Internet, and they will convince you to get yourself a label maker.
A linen closet that almost looks impossible
We won’t try and hide anything; our closet looks like the left. We believe that most people’s closet looks like that as if a hurricane has run through it. Some of the most difficult things to fold and keep organized are bedsheets and linens.
The closet on the right is what we aspire our closets to look like. It’s tidy and folded neatly, and it makes finding things very easy. The owner must have spent countless hours organizing it, and because of that, she found out that she had more space.
Genius hack when moving
Moving from one place to another is very challenging. You have to pack all your things, including glassware and clothes. Clothes have to be folded, put into boxes, and unfolded again when taken out. But, what about clothes that are hanging in your closet?
Do you have to fold them too? But they will end up with creases, and you’d have to iron them again before hanging them in the closet of your new house. Is there a better way? Follow the method you see in the photo and everything will be easier.
Organize and display your children’s books
Having children in the home is a blessing, but it can also mean disorganization and chaos. It means toys everywhere, books on the floor, and clothes even in the kitchen. Just ask any parent, and they will tell you that what we say is true.
If you’re tired of seeing your children’s books everywhere, try using rain gutter shelves. They are a great, innovative, and economical way of making sure that there is a place for all your children’s books. Other people on the Net pointed out that Ikea spice racks can also be used for the same purpose.
The laundry room looks brand new
The laundry room is not visible to guests, be it family members or friends, so most homeowners don’t pay a lot of attention to it. They would rather spend their energy, time, and money making sure that living areas look beautiful.
However, if your laundry room gives you a headache every time you see it, it’s high time to make some improvements. How? By organizing it, of course. Look at these before and after photos, and you’ll see that after they organized, the laundry room looks brand new.
Another pantry that’s spick and span
We envy people whose pantries are immaculately clean. They make us think if the pantries are just for display and not used on a daily basis. A good example is the pantry you see in the photo below. Is it even real? Or was it just used for photo ops?
How does the owner have so many organizational skills? Well, it seems that a good place to start is to use labeled bins. This means locating things easily and quickly. Want snacks? You can easily reach for them. We only have one concern though, how come their pantry has so much processed food?
Champion document organization
It’s important to ensure that you have your documents in order so that whenever you need them for whatever purpose, you can easily reach for them. You don’t want to search through 20 years’ worth of paper when you need your birth certificate.
We like how this lady has managed to compile her documents and label them accordingly. You know exactly where to find documents pertaining to the home, appliances, or the pet dog. We guarantee you that her life is so much easier than others because of this.
Don’t throw your toilet paper rolls
We don’t think much of toilet paper rolls. Once we run out of toilet paper, we just take them out and replace them with a brand new one. If you want to organize your cables and help Mother Nature at the same time, you should do this!
What do we mean by this? You can stuff cords and cables in the toilet paper rolls so that they don’t get tangled with each other. We all know how frequently that happens and how annoying that can be. Reduce waste and use your toilet paper rolls.
