Sometimes rolling clothes is the perfect option for
interestingly sized spaces.  Rolling these long sleeve
t-shirts allows more shirts to be stored and makes
them easier  to access than if they were folded.

This box grater and hand blender are
placed inside a rarely used casserole
dish.  The casserole dish has a home
and grater and blender have a reserved
spot. Sometimes it is easier to hold a
spot/home for something if the home
is defined in some way.

Sometimes it is hard to reach the back of a dresser drawer.
One option is to use that space for items that are accessed
less often. For example, winter socks can be stored there
in the summer and light socks can be stored there in the
winter.

Take paper clips and hang kitchen tools
from your rolling cart. Towel is added in
picture two to make viewing easier.

All of these shirts are placed in the same
direction.

If you flip every other shirt your pile becomes
more level and takes up less space in a drawer.

Sometimes shelves can look more organized when there
is uniformity with the containers: the same kind of plastic
bins, boxes, jars, baskets, tins.

One way to clear out space in a cupboard is
to use your pretty bowls for holding things…
chips, onions, fruit, etc. By doing this you
1) get to see your pretty bowls 2) you don’t
have to go out and buy more containers and
3) you remember that you have those pretty bowls.

Visual check - Magazines are piled above the rim of
the basket. Time to recycle the old and make room for
the current.

Magazines are below the rim of basket.

Attach a cutting board with twist ties to
the handle of one side of a rolling cart.
You get an extra surface space and
underneath you still have your storage.

This drawer holds hot pads, dish towels, and
dish cloths. If you are low on space or if you don’t
want to figure out where to put all of your many
towels, hot pads, and dish cloths - here are some
questions to ask.
1. How many hot pads do you use at a time?
That might be the number you want to keep.
2. How many dish towels do you use in a week?
Divide that number into the total number of
dish towels that you own. How many weeks worth
of dish towels do you own? Does that number
make sense and does it work for the amount of
space that you have?
3. What makes your mind feel more at peace, having
lots of dish towels that you can’t find a place for or
having fewer and having them comfortably fit in
their space?
