The best organization hacks often involve storage solutions that are a bit unexpected. For example, some people put olive oil dispensers in their bathroom - whereas others have started using CD racks for storing much more than just music. Recently, a content creator convinced me that I should never overlook a vintage spice rack while thrifting, plus to rethink its use.
If you're lucky enough to have a working fireplace, the best firewood racks are the functional adornments that bring stylish order to your hearth. After all, one of the downsides to flickering flames and a warm glow is how difficult it can be to keep the surrounding space neat and clean. Thankfully, the vessels we found to corral logs and fire starters can suit your very specific taste in design as well as provide ample storage to your abundance of lumber.
Living in an apartment with two young children, I'm constantly seeking ways to optimize our small space. That's why I was so excited to discover the Improvements Rolling Cart. This super slim cart, with its two tiers and tabletop, is perfect for adding instant storage in kitchens, bathrooms, kids' rooms, laundry areas, and more. Even better, it's currently on sale at HSN for its lowest price in months - just $49.95!
"Declutter your home's entryway by adding a shoe shelving unit that has a few drawers to hold your hats, sunblock, scarves, and everyday items such as a hairbrush or Band-Aids," recommends Christina Giaquinto, professional organizer and brand ambassador of Modular Closets. She adds, "This will help you create an organized system that will help take away your stress as you enter and leave the home. No more scrambling to find the hat you need or pair of shoes you need at a moment's notice!"
You don't have to ball out on expensive stuff for a bougie lifestyle. Small changes - like adding a sleek waist chain to your outfit - make a world of difference while only setting you back a few dollars. So if your home or style could use a little tweaking, you're in the right place, as this list is chock-full of ultra-bougie upgrades that are actually cheap as hell. From blinged-out accessories to chic housewares, don't be surprised if you add more than a few to your cart.
My shelves are always overflowing with toiletries, fragrance bottles, jewelry, and more. I began a search for a piece of storage that could organize the mess and also look nice. That's when I found the Asayuee Rotating Makeup Organizer. It has an Art Deco aesthetic, easily spins, and holds a ton of stuff. I love it so much that I've bought it in multiples. Best of all, it's on sale at Amazon right now, so the price is down from $26.98 to $16.98.
The Songmics Cabinet Organizer Shelf acts as a riser, so it maximizes vertical space within your kitchen cupboards or countertops. They're available in 12 colorways, including natural wood and solid color finishes, and measure 11.7 inches wide by 6.2 inches high (a larger width is also available). Pair them side-by-side or stack them on top of each other; they're great for plates, drinkware, spices, cans, and more.
Giving your home a bougie vibe doesn't cost as much as you might imagine. In fact, everything on this list looks ultra-luxe but is actually so wallet-friendly. I'm talking trendy, posh finds for every room - from linens and lighting to hardware and so many organizing options to help keep your house looking pristine. There are even a few products for your garden, because the exterior of your home deserves a chic touch, too. Get all your must-haves delivered straight to your front door.
One of my favorite things about our apartment - and older apartments in general - is how much built-in storage they tend to come with. Even with the cupboards, closets, and built-ins, however, our kitchen needed more storage. No matter how many items I donated to Goodwill, there never seemed to be enough cabinet space for our cooking essentials and dishes (and don't even get me started on the food storage containers).
I'm always on the lookout for ways to add personality to my home while keeping storage practical. Whether it's figurines from my parents' house, art made by my kids, or a thrift-store treasure, I lean into eclectic, curated clutter. So when I came across this storage hack of using a hose holder inside your house on Apartment Therapy, I knew I had to give it a try.
Soft items like plums, avocados, squash, and tomatoes bruise easily when piled into a dish, and some types of produce cause others to rot faster when stored together.
The stairwell landing here presents obstacles and confusion, becoming a cluttered purgatory for empty suitcases and discarded lamps, far from the tranquil moment of transition desired.
