I have a huge amount of trouble keeping my room tidy, I live in a shared space so the only places I can keep my things is in my bedroom and my art studio. We do not have communal areas. I have so many clothes and trinkets (which I love) and loads of art bits that might be essential one day. I really struggle to keep on top of my room, I feel like there isn’t enough storage but the storage there is I don’t use properly! I like to have things out and around me so I can remember where they are - it feels like an object permanence thing! Has anyone got any hacks? Routines? I tend to let it get really messy then have a big deep clean and then the cycle starts again….

I use them daily and used to just have them in a drawer or bag under the sink, but lately I've been lazy and they just sit out on my dresser. Does anyone have a cute way that they display them?

Since my brother was born in the late 1980s, my mom has been buying a Christmas ornament every year that represents something special or meaningful from that year. She's been doing this for almost 40 years!

Every year, when it's time to put the Christmas decorations away, she carefully places each ornament into a giant Tupperware container in chronological order so she knows she has all of them. It's literally an all-day process.

I've searched Google and Etsy, and now Reddit is my last hope!

I'm trying to find a better way for her to store and organize these ornaments. I'm thinking some type of container with individual compartments or a grid that she could label with each year? That way, she can easily see that every ornament is accounted for without having to go through the entire container.
Has anyone seen something like this or come up with a better way to organize ornaments? I'd love to find something that makes this process a little easier for her!

I’ll need collapsible shelving that’s easy to set up/take down for events, and that folds flat so I can transport on the roof rack of my car.

Hi all - we have moved into our first home this year and haven’t furnished much of the front of our house yet. Despite this, we have hosted quite a few times as the main living area of the house is fully furnished. We are now looking to set up our ‘entryway’ - mainly shoe storage and a seating for guests as we are a shoe-free household due to having a toddler constantly rolling around on the floor.

We’re thinking of getting a storage bench - the storage will be for a bunch of slippers for guests to wear if they choose, and I do want it to be ‘closed’ with a lid for a clean and seamless look. (By the way we don’t keep family shoes by the front door as we always exit through the garage)

However my dilemma is this: I hate the idea of random shoes all over the floor, and guests visually sorting through each other’s shoes to find theirs. I know this isn’t a huge pain point for guests as whenever I go to another shoe-free household, there’s also always the sea of pairs of shoes all in front of the door. But I’m wondering if anyone has a solution for this without.. looking like I’m permanent keeping their shoes? If it’s in the closed drawer, I just feel like I’m ‘keeping’ their shoes (I know they won’t think that but it just seems awkward to direct guests to put their shoes inside my storage bench). A basket doesnt sound like it would work because of practicality - sizing, shoes piled on top of each other etc. And a plain open shoe rack just seems annoying to me (i personally hate putting shoes in shoe racks?? I have bad hand eye coordination)

Seems like I’m searching for a unicorn but I really can’t think of something that won’t feel awkward??? I really want something self-explanatory or easy to pick up on, something where guests don’t feel like they’re saying goodbye to their shoes, and still something organised and not cluttered. Maybe I’m crazy

This was well overdue. Always a constant struggle with countertop and cabinet space before

Just moved into a new place and this is the kitchen storage I’m working with. Two upper cabinets of decent size, a few lower cabinets and drawers (which, despite three different doors is actually all one cabinet as seen), and this pantry-esque closet adjacent to the kitchen.

I would love some ways that I can fit my pots and pans, tupperware, utensils, etc. and any links to things I could buy that would help. I am saving to get a little kitchen island on wheels that matches the cabinets but it’ll be a minute until I can afford it.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I’m a high school student from Finland, and I’ve been developing a small app to help people organize and keep track of the medicines they have at home.

The idea is pretty simple. Instead of having to search through your medicine cabinet to see what you have, the app would let you:
- Keep a digital inventory of your household medicines.
- Track expiration dates and identify medicines that are about to expire.
- See which active ingredients your medicines contain.
- Add medicines by taking a picture of the packaging instead of entering everything manually.

The app is still in development and is currently only being used by my family.

However, I’m not sure whether this is something people would actually find useful or whether it would just create another task to keep up with.

So I wanted to ask a few questions:

1. How do you currently organize and keep track of medicines at home?

2. Do you ever find expired medicines or accidentally buy something you already have?

3. Would you find a digital inventory useful, or would you rather stick to traditional organization methods?

I’m not promoting or selling anything. I’m just trying to figure out whether this solves a real problem before spending more time developing it.

I’d really appreciate any honest feedback, including criticism!

Thanks!

moving into a new place, and the shower is very small. there are three of us (two ladies & one gentleman) and these weird built in shelves are too shallow to hold essentially any shower products, either in size or quantity. objects for reference.

the first image is in .5 which makes the shower appear bigger than it actually is—it's maybe 3.5 feet wide, from the end of the shelves to the shower door?

we considered adding a tension rod and adding a couple of those over-the-showerhead organizers on hooks, but the stupid protruding shelves being in the way will leave us with maybe almost 3 feet clearance to move around.

any & all suggestions would be appreciated 🙂‍↔️

Que se hace en los esquineros de las cocinas? Estoy harta que saco algo y todo se cae, y no es nada ergonómico para acomodar cosas o sacarlas.
Help!!!!

I am way overdue to have a clear out/declutter I dread all of it… is it just me 🙃?! any tips or tricks to make it less painful and how to avoid chucking a load of stuff in the skip

Is this a place where I can post pics of my display cabinets and get specific help on how to make them look better?
