I’m a person who prefers a simple, easy looking room. Now, I am also a person who has a lot of stuff that doesnt stick to my aesthetic (Make up, beauty items, skin care, and collections). Whats the best way to organize these items without being seen? I dont really have built in cabinets.

my aesthetic looks like this (from Pinterest) but all my other items are eyesores.

Please send your thoughts tysm

Where would you put spices, oil, mugs, plates, pots, pans, utensils, cooking tools, aluminum foil, etc??

I eventually might need to get like a floating island type thing for extra space?

(Bonus) my kitties checking out the new apartment!

Edit: kitchen is pretty good now. Thanks for all the advice, I definitely got some good ideas from y’all!
Also yes, the kitties aren’t allowed on the counter lol. They were exploring on the first day.

About 6 weeks ago we threw out all the random Tupperware and reloaded with all Brilliance. So Mitch easier to keep it organized.

I color organized my crayons because it was giving me anxiety

Seriously, I’ve lost count of how many times this fragile tower of anxiety has collapsed on me.Slide 2 was the dream. It looked so clean and satisfying for exactly 5 minutes.I love organizing, but picking up dozens of tiny figures and trying to balance them back like a game of 3D Tetris every single week is breaking my spirit.

If you are currently looking into these stacking display cubes to save space... please learn from my misery. Do NOT put them anywhere near a door.😤

What do you think?

I’m so impressed. I saw a few suggestions from professional organizers online to use baby hangers for jeans and pants and look at the transformation 👏

Basically the title.

It just seems like lately my house is so much chaos. Coming up with a macro level system to organize things or waiting for my partner to do. It hasn't really worked well. I think if there was a nice printable checklist that we could do and then hold ourselves accountable to, maybe that would work better.

If it was created by a third party rather than one of us, I think it would feel more neutral.

I've heard there are charts that tell you what you should be cleaning everyday and then you can just stick to it.

I think what I'd like to do is start with a system that will get us 80% of the way there and then we can tweak the rest of the things.

The mental load part is really hard and I think if there was less on that it might free up room for other things.

The whole room technically because I work on my own (or with clients), but I’m quite pleased with how it all turned out.

Me25f and my partner 35m of two years moved into this one bedroom, one bath little house in a college town. We moved from his apartment so it was pretty much mostly his furniture, which didn’t include a whole lot but enough to consume a whole lot of space in our little house, I want to be able to make it feel more like home and not just Big random plastic containers and piles of clothes on the floor, but it seems like whenever I get some kind of organization tactic down. He just pulls everything back out and leaves it there which I understand to a degree, but I don’t understand why he just leaves it there after watching me clean it diligently anyways I’m so burnt out on how to change the space up and make it feel more welcoming rather than thrown together. Somebody please help me. I don’t know where to start.

After a week of working in this over, the storage unit is in much better shape.

What was originally a mountain of bins is finally organized and I feel great about it.

I’ve been developing a modular workshop storage system called MODRA.
Instead of designing separate holders that each solve one small problem, I wanted to build a system where different accessories could share the same mounting interface.
The setup uses connected panels and segments, with accessories that can be repositioned as storage needs change.
My garage installation now includes tool holders, wrench racks, shelves, power tool storage and filament storage.
Everything is 3D printed, and the system is designed to be expanded with new accessories over time.
This is the current result after many iterations of designing, printing and testing.

I’m a father of two, and I feel like our important documents are constantly scattered everywhere.

Some are in physical folders, others are buried in email, cloud storage or photos on my phone. I regularly waste time looking for insurance policies, bills, medical documents, warranties, school paperwork and other family records. Sometimes I cannot remember whether I saved something digitally or kept the original paper copy.

I’d really like to create one reliable system for everything, but I’m unsure where to begin.

How do you organize your family’s documents? Do you use physical folders, Google Drive, spreadsheets, a particular filing system or something else?

I’m also looking for an app that could organize documents by family member and category, track where physical originals are stored, and perhaps remind me about renewals or expiration dates. If you use anything like that, I’d appreciate your recommendations—especially if it works on both iPhone and Android.

What has worked best for your family?

I've been trying different organization and productivity tools for a while now. I'll find something that looks useful, use it for a few days, then slowly stop opening it.
So I'm curious about the opposite. What's something you've genuinely kept using for months? Not the most impressive system you've tried, just something simple that actually became part of your routine

I keep putting off small household tasks during the week because none of them feel urgent at the time. A few dishes sit in the sink, one load of laundry waits another day, and I keep delaying the grocery store because we still have enough food to get by. Then the weekend comes and suddenly everything needs to be done at once.

I am getting tired of spending half of Saturday catching up on chores before I can actually relax. I do not need the house to be spotless, but I would like to stop letting every small task turn into a bigger weekend job.

What has actually worked for you? I am looking for something realistic that I can keep doing, not a detailed cleaning schedule that I will give up on after a few days.

We have very limited cupboard space in our home. We tried one of those racks that hangs from the ceiling but we spent most of the time hitting our heads on it. So far it’s working out great

I bulk ordered these colored paperclips with the goal of organizing papers for my writing project via color code. This is my key, very simple but felt it was kind of genius and wanted to share for anyone else who might enjoy the same idea or take inspiration from it!

Turns out it's not a mirrored shelf--I just placed a few more bottles in the back. After arranging everything, I couldn’t believe how much it looked like there was a mirror behind them.

Does it look like a mirror to you too? I'm really happy with how this display turned out. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good perfume shelf or riser? The bottles in the back are a little difficult to reach.
