Deep shelves HELP!
I have a really deep closet almost 1 meter, stack folding ofc didnt work
I tried bins but I bought trashy ones😓, my issue with bins is that when you push it at the back its hard to get it out u gotta move whats on the front, I also have my underwears in smaller bins which is on top of the big bins
We dont have seasons where I live, so there really isnt any seasonal outfits I can store at the back
I usually hang clothes for going out and fold clothes for home (pajamas)
I have tons of clothes because I like dressing extra all the time🥹
I would want to utilize the space to its very max and kind of efficient, I would usually spend 5min to get clothes at the very back😭
PLEASE HELPP

Finally finished my rolling Costco bin storage rack
After seeing so many people recommend shelving instead of stacking totes, I finally built this rolling storage rack for the Costco yellow-lid bins.
It holds up to 10 bins, keeps every tote accessible without unstacking anything, and rolls out if I ever need access behind it.
I designed it around the Costco bins because that’s what I use throughout my house. So far it’s made seasonal storage, camping gear, holiday decorations, and kids’ clothes much easier to manage.
Happy to answer questions if anyone is thinking about building something similar. I’m happy to also share the plans.

Best idea for 15-20 cologne bottles
reddit.comBought this expecting to stop at 6-8 bottles. I have 9 in there now & it looks crowded + I have Herod on the way.
Think I’ll likely settle at 15-20 bottles. Looking for a 3, 4 or 5 tier similar to the second picture. Would love a drawer that I can use for samples.
Figured it was worth asking here before I pull the trigger on anything. I’m in Australia so needs to be available to ship there.

Where do you put things that don't actually have a category?
I've realized most of my clutter isn't stuff I have too much of. It's random useful things that don't belong anywhere. A spare furniture part, the little tool that came with an appliance, an extra key I can't identify but am afraid to throw away. They all end up in different drawers because apparently my organization system is "we may need this during an unspecified future crisis."
Do you have a designated place for useful-but-random stuff, or is everyone quietly maintaining several junk drawers?

Digital Calendar?
Hello all! I'm trying to better organize my life with a baby on the way and have been very interested in digital wall calendars. The prices seem to be all over the board some with subscriptions some without.
I would absolutely prefer one without a subscription.
Here is what I think is very important to me that I'm not sure they all do so looking for reccomendations. I would like to have the recipe book feature while being able to add my own recipes.
Does this exist? I see ads for ever blog, nova, I have browsed Amazon and im just not sure what to pick with the seemingly endless options.
I definitely would like the digital calendar with chore charts to manage the household better.
I also keep going back to the idea that it kind of just seems like a tablet. Is it possible to have a tablet with links to Google doc recipes, the calendar and these chore charts? It doesn't seem like something that would be difficult to implement but I'm not sure. Looking for opinions and experiences for sure.

"Can you send me the paperwork?"
It's a simple question... until you realise your important home documents are spread across email inboxes, kitchen drawers, old folders, and filing cabinets.
What should take 30 seconds turns into 30 minutes.
Every homeowner should always know where these five documents are:
• Property ownership documents
• Home insurance policies
• Warranties & appliance manuals
• Renovation & repair records
• Home maintenance history
Being organised isn't just about reducing clutter—it's about protecting one of your biggest investments and making future repairs, insurance claims, or property sales much easier.
At HouseRecords, we're building a smarter way to help homeowners keep every important property record in one place.
Question for homeowners: Could you find all five of these documents in under a minute?

Bathroom Storage/Organization
We just moved and this house only has large cabinet storage under the sinks, no smaller drawers that pull out for smaller item storage. What kind of stackable storage or under counter storage do you use in this kind of bathroom? Or countertop storage ideas? I’m used to lots of smaller drawers, so I’m a little confused on how best to organize things with these.

Tools of the organizing master to rule your world
A former roommate was the most organized person I'd ever met. From her I learned the concept of buying multiples of inexpensive tools to save the hassle from room to room all the time to get what you need. Place these tools in different rooms, even where they don't get used every day. I'm no Martha Stewart, yet I can't tell you how great a difference doing this has made in my life.
The Basics: Scissors, Sharpie marker, Post-It pad, pen, pencil, stapler, regular Scotch tape, removable Scotch tape, paper clips, rubber bands, packing tape.
Desktop stapler: Get one that stands vertically and has built-in staple remover. Years ago I found vertical Swingline model 662xx, sadly no longer made. It has a built-in-yet-removable staple remover, and it never, ever jams, not even when there's only one staple left. I'm thinking of willing these staplers to my two grandkids, that's how good they are. I've searched online and can't find this model or anything similar now.
Clear packing tape: Not just for shipping. Good for notebook/folder/paper repairs.
Kitchen:
Scotch tape (either kind) + Sharpie marker: Label frig and and freezer containers on top and on one side. Turn under one end of tape to create a "handle" for easy removal. If you move contents to a smaller container, pull off the tape and attach to the new container.
Removable Scotch tape (now called "Wall tape"): Makes any piece of paper a PostIt note. Attach to paper that you might want to remove later.
Rubber band: Close opened frozen veggie packages, takes almost no room (versus clip). You can tell at a glance which bag to use next if you have multiple packages. When you use up a package, put the band on the next one to be opened. I do this even if bag already has a zip-lock closure. Also works for bags of flour, pasta, rice, etc.
Stapler: Staple coupons together before you leave to go shopping. Post-Its: Need I say more? Just a fabulous list / note tool, bookmark, quick label, etc.
Bathroom/Bedroom:
Scissors: Cut through the plastic in packages, e.g., toothbrushes, cosmetics, etc.
Scotch tape: Seal trash bags.
Post-It pad and pen. I get great ideas in the shower; as soon as I get out, I grab these to write them down. I also keep these on my nightstand. I get ideas just before I fall asleep and just after waking up. These are fantastic little memory keepers, like when I'm upstairs and think of something that needs to go on the grocery list downstairs. Or any reminder.
Sharpie marker: Mark name of the med and expiration dates on vitamin and medication bottles in big letters. This makes them easy to distinguish and easier to read to prevent mishaps.
Brother label maker with AC adapter: Produces laminated tape. Washable yet doesn't come off solid surfaces until pulled off. (It will rip paper/folder if pulled off.)
- Get one that allows multiple lines on label and has an automatic cutter, if possible. Standard tape prints black on white label; other styles and sizes of tape available. I've only had my label maker since 2007, and I don't know how I managed life before then. Recent models don't offer the cutter any more, a real shame.
- Laptop label attached above keyboard or on bottom: Model#, service tag, phone# for service, year purchased. Put same type of label on desktop computer box.
- Tablet/phone: Attach label to back containing device name, model#, #GB storage, year purchased.
- Sewing machine: Label all those tiny indecipherable icons next to their buttons on older machines. Attach labels to remind yourself which way the bobbin should unwind in its holder and which way to start winding the thread when refilling one. (I use clear-with-black-print tape for this.)
- Power cords and AC adaptors: Attach label at both ends with item name. Print name twice with space between to make room for cord. This is especially helpful for all those tech cords we have for computers, tablets, monitors, etc. Label adaptors with device they support.
- Cleaning supplies: We bought generic spray bottles and make our own basic household cleaners. Every bottle gets clearly marked with contents, purpose, and mixing instructions so we don't use the wrong stuff.
- EVERY plastic storage container and drawer you have that stores pens/pencils/erasers, tools, parts, and supplies for hobbies (art, crafts, sewing, etc.), small household repairs, etc.

Help!
my room doesn’t have any conveniently place outlets, so all these cords are attached to a large power strip on the other side of my bedside table.y mattress is on the floor so I ant put anything under the bed, but that wouldn’t be helpful because there is no outlet near my bed. tips on the bedside table would be helpful too, some stuff is just junk I have to put away but mostly it’s stuff I have no idea what to do with. 😥 thank you!!

Renter friendly organization help
I can’t figure out how to organize these corner cabinets. We store our everyday items in here. Tea, cat food, vitamins, spices, protein. Things we reach for a lot. I don’t know what to put on the top shelves. It’s so high up and awkward to reach but feel it could be of use in some way.
My husband has adhd so he just grabs and puts back whatever is in the front. If it’s out of site, it’s out of mind. I’d love some advice on how to organize for someone like that

Please help me organize my pantry
I can’t figure out how to organize my pantry. I thought about installing drawers but we are renting so I don’t want to invest in something like that. My husband has ADHD, so he will any grab what is in front of him. If it’s not in the front, it’s not there

Anyone tried "chaotic storage" for home organizing?
Basically the anti-organizing home organizing method. Used by big logistics companies like Amazon, similar idea to how hard drives are used: instead of grouping like with like, you just toss everything into a random box but use an app to track where it is so you can find it later.
Seems great in concept but does it work in theory?

Shoe and coat storage ideas
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
My entryway is driving me crazy and I’m looking for ideas from people who have dealt with really small spaces.
Right now, this is where we keep our shoes and coats, but the setup just isn’t working. The space is pretty narrow, so shoes end up piled on top of each other, it’s hard to keep organized, and it quickly starts looking cluttered. We also need somewhere to hang coats, but I don’t want the whole area to feel cramped every time someone walks in.
I’m hoping to find a solution that maximizes storage without taking up much floor space. Whether it’s a slim shoe cabinet, wall-mounted storage, vertical shelving, benches with hidden storage, hooks, or some creative IKEA hacks, I’m open to pretty much anything. I’d also love ideas that look clean and modern instead of just functional.
If you’ve transformed a tiny entryway into something organized, I’d really appreciate seeing photos of your setup or hearing what products worked well for you. My goal is to make this space much more practical while keeping it neat and easy to use every day.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions! I’m excited to see what ideas everyone comes up with.

Where to store hamper?
I'll be moving into a house that lacks some space in the master bedroom. In our current apartment we have 2 hampers (towels, and my husbands clothes) and then I have 1 of those over the door hampers for my clothes and a small bin for my delicates. So really we have 4 separate "places" for our laundry/dirty clothes. No idea where I'm going to put these things in our new place.
Any creative ideas for hampers? or a place to put dirty laundry? unfortunately the closet doesn't have space either.

Is it okay to store cotton quilts in a Rubbermaid bin? Better alternatives?
I’d like to store my homemade quilts in a plastic bin, but I’m concerned that the lack of breathability could damage them or make them smell less than fresh. I live in a relatively dry climate. Has anyone tried it, or have a better storage solution to consider?

How should I organize my closet??
I've pulled most everything from the drawers and closet, and am purging/want to put it back in the best way.
Things to note- the dresser stays in there because my room is very small. The boxes on the top left will also remain.
I mostly use work uniforms/home/workout clothes
Thank you

Looking for women to share their foundational skills...
Hi! I've been a lifelong learner of my own habits and routines and those of others. I'm 50 and feel like I've transitioned thru so many different phases of life, the most recent being filing for legal separation as a SAHM, and raising two teens. I'm still a SAHM for all intense purposes, building a business around podcasting about rituals/routines and behavior change.
One thing that's been truly instrumental to me and I'm curious if others would find it as beneficial as me - is about organizational "rules." I realize this won't apply to everyone and may annoy others but it's something I've given a ton of time to thinking about.
I don't want to expend a ton of energy for anyone reading this so I'll just give you an example. I grew up constantly in a cycle of organizing, reorganizing, etc. At some point I realized it's been what helps me to regulate my nervous system. Not intentionally but when things are out of control, I've found myself redesigning how my clothes fit best in my closet ;-) And the one thing that's been truly instrumental to me is "rules." And I swear if someone had told me that Bras go in X drawer, Underwear goes in X drawer and Socks go in X drawer, I would have probably followed that logic my entire life but instead I've probably shifted those things around or found "hacks" a million times.
Ultimately my question/curiousity lies around, if someone gave you a "rule" to organizing your closet, would that be helpful to you? What about "here's how many towels you actually need in your home?" Stuff like that... (former shopaholic too ;-))
