Some General Tips
Recycling
If you have some old spray painting lids or pickle jars, you can recycle and use these effectively, by simply adding handles to the tops. These can make great storage places for the things that are scattered all over. They also make your space look quite pretty as well.
Adding Organizers
There are many different places in your home that would benefit from a home-made organizer. For example, the back of your door can accommodate a small shoe organizer to help keep your shoes, and also help organize the toys and craft supplies.
Ziploc Bags
These are for storage purposes, and you can keep your summer and winter clothing in the bags. Simply switch out your wardrobe whenever you need to, by keeping your closet more organized and easily accessible during each season.
Jewelry
If you have clear pill containers, you can use them as the solution to your jewelry, especially while traveling. These are a perfect option, rather than keeping them in the suitcase where they are bound to get lost while in transit.
Pegboard
You can use a pegboard to peg some hooks on the wall. This turns them into instant storage space, where you can keep all sorts of things that may be lying around in your home.
Magazines and Newspapers
Do not keep your magazines in the garage where they will become smelly and soggy. Instead, rip out some individual pages and then keep them in a file folder for future references. These could be the kind of articles that resonated with you or stories that you do not want to forget.
Plastic Bag Holders
These can be mounted on the walls to make perfect storage locations for things such as wrapping papers, foil, cling film, etc.
Phone Cords
You can label your phone cords and other appliances with washi tape, which gives each person living in the house a different color, so they always know which charger belongs to who. You could also sort them out by color as well.
Cards
If you have a million and one cards that you have received over the years and have no idea how to organize them, our tabbed greeting cards tip can help with that. Simple expand the file folders and then organize them by month, or by occasion, so you can always tell which card was received at which time, and for which occasion.
How to Organize Your Kitchen

Conclusion
