November Organization Tips
#24 Top-of-cupboard storage baskets. Fill wasted space above upper kitchen cabinets with attractive woven storage baskets. Since this spot is usually accessible only by ladder, it’s a good place to keep less frequently used items — think holiday dishes and fondue pots.
#25 Back-of-the-door organizer. Using an adjustable organizer on the back of the door is a good way for kids to learn to put away their own things. Keep a hook for a backpack, a rack for shoes and a basket for library books.
#26 Bathroom
Rolling “carts”: or hand-held trays and baskets, as well as wall-mounted racks, can be used to hold personal toiletries. Over-the-door racks can be used to hang towels, jewelry, hair accessories or bathrobes.
#27 Determine what needs to be accessible
Out-of-season clothing and accessories can be placed on high shelves or stored under the bed. Items that are frequently used, such as toiletries and cleaning supplies should be stored in convenient locations. For example, the broom and mop can be stored on a wall-mounted rack in the pantry or closet instead of standing in the kitchen corner. Door shelves and over the door storage can make tremendous use of space and leave important items accessible, rather than needing to box them up.
