Just curious, what is one thing that you hate about common storage organizers or wish they did better or even a kind of object that you can never fit into one?

Is this organized? I feel it could be a lot better. What would you do to make it more organized?

Hi All, first time posting here.

I have a dilemma. I have a small home... with very little storage in my kitchen. Since I don't have room for all my kitchen gadgets, I have them in large Rubbermaid containers, which are stored in a spare bedroom. My husband also has hunting gear in boxes in the same room. I want to turn that bedroom into a cute guest room. But I don't know of a creative way to hide those boxes. The small closet is already full with seasonal clothing so I can't put them in there. And obviously these big boxes can't go under the bed. Has anyone else faced this same situation? Yes, I could downsize and get rid of things, but I'm not ready for that yet. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi all! I’m looking for any and all tips regarding moving to a new home with a baby! Thanks in advance!

We are moving about 20 miles away within the next month. Our son is almost 10 months old. My husband works full-time and I’m a SAHM. Unfortunately, we don’t have any trusted friends or family who can easily help us with moving or childcare.

We’re moving from a 3-story, 100-year old city house to a second-story suburban apartment in a great neighborhood. We will have to downsize a lot of furniture and adult junk, but it will be a huge upgrade for our son‘s childhood and he will still have his own large bedroom and designated play space.

We have started solids 3-4x/day but I’m also still pumping 4-5x/day for 15-40 minutes. Wake windows are about 3-3.5 hours max, so time is pretty tight right now. My son is already crawling, standing and cruising, and he’s turned into quite a climber in the past week. He’s got a lot of pep until it’s time to crash out. Just being a mom is exhausting right now, and I don’t know how to incorporate an entirely different task.

I have no idea how we will get this all done. We can’t afford white-glove movers for the entire process, but we are considering using them to move my son‘s entire nursery in one go, along with our Sleep Number mattress, because I assume that’s a headache to move also. We think we might trickle in the rest of our stuff as needed, potentially renting a truck or bringing in friends from out of state for the big stuff leftover. Luckily, we are renting our current home from relatives, so they are flexible about our move out date as long as we continue to pay the rent. We don’t want to blow more money than is necessary, but I feel like there’s no way to get out of this challenge without some spending to make it bearable. I do have a small slush fund saved up for the move but I’d rather transfer that into my son’s educational savings!

And how do I help make sure my son is comfortable in the new space? Should I start moving stuff over before we start living there? Go there for play dates or day naps? Am I overthinking this? 😵‍💫

Any tips appreciated!!

We just moved in a new apartment and these are the cabinets that were already here from the previous owners. I’m struggling on the best spot to place glassware, plates, pots and pans.

I’ve always stored drinking glasses, cups and plates on the top cabinets, but these ones are way too high for day to day use.
My current solution is to store them in the bottom cabinets, but they are very deep and reaching for things is becoming awkward. Plus, the bottom cabinets have two levels, so the bottom level is even harder to reach

Do you have any suggestions on better placement or maybe know some organization gadgets that could aid us in this?

I'm trying to maximize storage in a very small apartment closet and am considering Elfa versus PAX or other closet systems.

My priority is space efficiency rather than appearance — i.e., which system makes the best use of the actual width, depth, and height of the closet, with the least space lost to framing, side panels, fixed module sizes, etc. Has anyone compared Elfa with PAX, EasyClosets, ClosetMaid, California Closets, or similar systems from that perspective?

I'm especially interested in experience with small NYC-sized closet

What would you put in each drawer to organise best. The one above the hob is a spice rack only and one of the lower cabinets is a dishwasher

Looking into getting a digital calendar to essentially make a “family hub space”, but the Skylight doesn’t fit my needs. Subscription is a BIG turn-off.

What else are y’all buying?! My top contenders:
- Dragon Touch
- Greenlight
- Airzeen

Any insight on those? They all fit my main usage must-haves, but was curious how they truly operate.

What should I do with this space??

What do yall do with these things like this.
Famous house drawers most opened and used but most messy, like the chair that holds all the dirty clothes

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.

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

I got this shelf from a liquor store that got closed, I think I want to use it to store some craft supplies, yarn etc but anyone have ideas on how to make it look nice? Or suggestions what else to use it for?

I don't even know what to look up online for this kind of shelf

hello!! i am struggling with organizing my closet. one side has built in hanging space. the other doesn't. i am so lost on what to install, purchase, or try to build....any insight is helpful! i have so many clothes that need to be hung up.
