1. Grocery Bag Dispensers

Grocery bags and trash bags can take up a lot of precious drawer space in your kitchen. To free up more space, install a wall-mounted bag dispenser in your kitchen pantry or laundry room. A compact bag dispenser can easily be refilled when it’s running low and will keep your plastic bags in one tidy and convenient location.

2. Clear Plastic Food Storage Containers

Your pantry or fridge can quickly become cluttered with expired or unused items. It can also be tough to find the ingredients you need to whip up a quick family-friendly meal. Buy clear plastic containers to organize your food and keep it fresh for longer. These containers are perfect for cereal, dried pasta, and even pet food. They keep pests at bay and enable you to clearly see what’s inside. To get even more organized, label each container.

3. Stackable Plastic Bins

Just like clear storage containers, clear bins can neatly house larger items. When they’re not in use, stackable bins can be easily stored and won’t take up a lot of space. Use them to store seasonal clothing, home décor, pet food, accessories, household cleaners, or small tools.

4. Divided Lazy Susans

A divided lazy Susan is a versatile essential that can be used in your kitchen or bathroom. Store anything from spices to sauces to cleaning supplies to makeup. The different sections will keep like items together for instant access.

5. No-Slip Clothes Hangers

Your closet can easily become a cluttered mess of clothing, shoes, and accessories. Streamline your closets with no-slip clothing hangers. These hangers will keep your apparel from falling to the floor. Consider buying hangers in different colors to color coordinate your wardrobe. For example, use red hangers for workpieces and blue hangers for casual wear.

6. Clear Drawer Dividers

Are you guilty of stuffing a lot of small items into one drawer? Maximize your drawer space and keep them organized with clear dividers. Keep socks, intimates, and other smaller garments in different zones.

7. Decorative Bins & Baskets

If you live in a small house, it can be tough to find space for all of your belongings. Bins and decorative baskets can hide your items while beautifying your home. Place them in corners, on the bottom of a bookshelf, or under the entryway table.

8. Over-the-Door Hooks

Sometimes getting organized takes thinking outside of the box. Over-the-door hooks allow you to store scarves, handbags, and hats right on the back of your closet doors. You can also install over-the-door organizers in your pantry to stash seasonings, spices, and oils. Use one in your bathroom to hang towels or bath products.

9. Airtight Storage Bags

Bulky seasonal clothing such as sweaters and jackets can consume space. Airtight storage bags shrink these items while keeping them protected. Store your seasonal apparel, towels, and extra bedding in airtight bags when they’re not in use. Keep them under your bed or on a high shelf in your closet.

10. Entryway Hooks

Are you constantly walking out the front door without your keys or an umbrella? Install a few hooks in your entryway to create a grab-and-go station for your daily essentials. Hang your keys, purse, sunglasses, and jackets so you’ll never forget them again!

11. Cascading Wall Organizers

Your home office can quickly be taken over by paperwork. Hang a cascading wall organizer near your desk to file away important papers and documents. Use a color-coding system to separate your papers into three categories, including papers that need immediate attention (monthly bills), papers that are needed in the short term (tax information), and papers you’ll need forever (Social Security cards).

12. Expandable File Folders

If your home office is short on wall space and cannot accommodate a cascading wall organizer, an expanding accordion file folder is the next best thing. You can keep numerous documents all in one compact place.

13. Multi-Device Charging Station

Another organizational essential is a multi-device charging station. It can get difficult to keep track of your phone, laptop, and tablet. Having a charging station in your home will keep all of your gadgets juiced up.

14. Shower Caddy

Keeping your bathing products, such as shampoo and soap, on the shower or bathtub floor will take up space. They can also become slipping hazards. Hang a shower caddy over your showerhead to store all of your hygiene products in one convenient and safe place.

Conclusion

With these 14 home organization essentials, you can effortlessly de-clutter your home and keep it neat! Use clear bins, decorative baskets, airtight bags, and over-the-door hooks to efficiently store all of your items and free up space. Not only do these items keep your home tidy, but they also look great while doing so!
