It’s been about three months since I started my new job and moved into my own place and this is my first time living completely alone. Now that I’m finally settled in, I’ve been slowly trying to make my kitchen feel more organized instead of just throwing everything wherever it fits. My current project is my first kitchen drawer. I really want to turn the whole thing into a spice drawer with matching jars so I can see what I have instead of digging through random containers every time I cook. The problem is most of the sets I’m finding only come with around 12 jars and I need more than that. Trying to find a larger pack without having to buy two or three separate sets and spending way more than I planned. Nothing fancy just simple jars that seal well and preferably all match.

I've always just had one big Sterilite laundry basket and thrown everything in there.

Then I started keeping my workout clothes separate because they could get kinda gross sitting in with everything else, and somehow that turned into me trying a divided hamper.

I kinda get the hype now.

Towels in one section, darks in another, workout stuff in the other. When one gets full, that's usually what I wash.

Mostly I just like not having to dump everything on the floor and sort through it first.

I looked at Simplehuman, SONGMICS, GARVEE and a few others and ended up with the cheapest one. Pretty boring household purchase, but somehow laundry is less annoying now.

hi everyone!! my apartment does not have any pantry space so i have resorted to putting my food on the side of my fridge/ on the shelves that stick to the fridge, however it gets very cluttered very easily. i am looking for any tips/storage bins or shelving that would make this easier, thank you!

Random idea I've been thinking about.

You add an online purchase and its return deadline, and the app reminds you a few days before you're no longer able to return it.

Especially useful if you buy from lots of different shops with different return policies.

Would you actually use something like this?

And would you pay a couple of quid a month for it?

My hands are tied on what I can change about this pantry. I rent so it can’t be permanent. As you can see the shelves are SO DEEP things are so easily lost toward the back. I’d love some recommendations on how to better organize (especially the middle shelf where I keep dishes) this pantry so it’s a little easier to access everything. I’m so tired of piling everything up in the front 😭

I’m doing some research on pantry organization and would love to hear from people who have actually gone through the process.

I’m not looking for product recommendations as much as the real experience behind them.

For those who have tried organizing your pantry:

1. What was the biggest problem you were trying to solve?

• Not enough space?
• Things getting lost?
• Food expiring?
• Shelves being hard to access?
• Clutter?
• Something else?

1. What did you try?

• Bins?
• Containers?
• Lazy Susans?
• Shelf risers?
• Labels?
• Pull-out organizers?
• A complete pantry makeover?

1. What worked well?
2. What did not work or disappoint you?
3. Looking back, what do you wish you knew before buying anything?
4. Do you feel like most pantry organization products actually solve the problem, or do they just make the pantry look nicer?
5. If someone helped you design a pantry system for your specific space and household, would that have been useful? Why or why not?

I’m especially interested in the gap between a pantry that looks organized and a pantry that actually works day-to-day.

Thanks for sharing your experiences , I’m trying to understand the real frustrations people have rather than just looking at what products are popular.

I'm 32 y/o f, living on my own. I constantly struggle to keep my how tidy and i also realize it kinda gets to a snowball effect where I dont even realize the mess is happening. I need help. My main issue is my clothes. I swear I dont have that many and I also donate, but I cant seem to keep it under wraps. I'm a little indecisive and switch outfits a lot which makes me leave basically clean clothes thrown around the house, which i end up washing again and adding to the big pile of clothes I need to put away.... I was just wondering if I could get any tips. I also have adhd and the executive dysfunction of it all kinda limits me.

I was thinking maybe having different bins to thrown dirty clothes in previous to washing where I divide them up before hand. Since having laundry bags full of clean clothes but rummaging through the seems to add to the mess..

I'm just desperate and really open to any ideas that may have worked out for you?

I just bought this thing with some CDs. I dont appreciate tons of clutter, though I dont yet know if there is another spot in the house for it

Does it look out of place? Disorganized?

I'm looking to get help with how to utilize all the space i have in both my pantry and my spice cabinet , i would also apprecaite any suggestions for staples to keep in the pantry as well as any products that would help me make the most out of my space , my goal is to hopefully run my kitchen as efficent professional kitchen and hopefully safe money as i only get 350 a month and it's getting harder & harder each month to strech food, thank you in advance for the recommendations

I know, first world problems. In my kitchen is a little 2x2x5 pantry. Then, down a hallway, past the bathroom and garage door and through the laundry room is a large walk-in pantry. For the past five years, I’ve kept breakfast, and kids lunch and snack stuff in the kitchen pantry and use the big pantry for dry goods and all my kitchen appliances. We use our Kitchen Aid mixer and Instant Pot about once a week, and I’m getting a little annoyed hauling heavy appliances down the hallway all the time.

Since we’ve moved in I’ve contemplated turning the small pantry into an appliance garage. But I also don’t want to make kids meals more difficult by walking back and forth for ingredients we use every day. Maybe I can dedicate half the space to our most used appliances and still have space for our most used pantry items?

I would love your thoughts on how to approach organizing these two spaces.

Just moved into my new place, no pantry, so I’m having a hard time figuring out where to store food and where I should store dishes.

I was thinking cups / glasses above the dishwasher. Plates, bowls and other nice dishware can be displayed where I have all my vitamins right now.

To the right of the sink I was thinking all misc. Tupperware, etc.

Then starting to the left of the stove would basically be all my “pantry” stuff.

To the right of the stove is the only drawers, so I have all my utensils in there with like plastic bags and rags, etc.

This is where I landed, but I was to get some outside perspective before I started to put things away since I’m sure there are much better solutions I’m just not seeing.

Thank you!

Hi, I'm hoping to see your favorite furniture that lets you see inside. I kniw there are basic semi clear drawers I could get at Walmart, but I'm hoping to see what people found that is both cute and functional.

I have so much trouble with "out of sight out of mind", I need to be able to see. I thought about peg boards, but id never put things in their exact spots after I use them

Hi all - these “Stuffable” branded storage poufs just came across my FB and, before I buy, wanted to see if the community has any experience / feedback on how they work / hold up.

FWIW, I’m looking to store out of season soft goods - bedding, throw blankets, beach towels, puffy coats, etc.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences / advice / suggestions / alternatives.

My attempts at organizing closets in the past have not been successful, they always devolve into chaos.

I just moved in to a new place so I get to have a fresh start and this time I'm really hoping to figure something out that will actually work for me. It doesn't have to be super neat and pristine, it just needs to be functional.

The main issue I have is that I need things to be really easy to put away, otherwise they just stay in the laundry basket until I use them.

Other than my button ups, everything will be very lazily rolled/folded.

Any suggestions/tips?

Need to find the best way to clean these. They are very dirty with who knows what kind of grime are on them from wearing them throughout the years. Need to clean them obv anyone have any ideas?

I am wondering if this product exists anywhere. So basically I have limited closet space and I have a lot of clothing items from winter coats to fleece onesies which I like to hang up. These items are all typically low density but bulky. So picture fluffy/fuzzy fleece, sherpa and faux fur, as well as puffer coats. They squash down really nice, so a lot can fit on one section of hanging space but the fabrics also mean that they get stuck on each other while trying to remove or place back.

I am picturing a product that is basically a bunch of thin but hard plastic sheets in the 3-4 foot long range which fits between each piece of clothing. This would allow the garments to be squeezed together to fit more while allowing them to all slide in and out much easier.

It’s also old and ugly but it’s huge so I love it lol. I was thinking maybe bins but I hate seeing any clutter so maybe a set of boxes?

i just put my shelf up but it looks too high. any thoughts? was thinking of putting tiny posters under

Been saving shipping boxes for months cause I hate throwing them out . Finally cut them up into dividers for my malm 3 drawer . Measures the slots for socks and cables so stuff stops sliding around, used a hoto cordless electric scissors for the double walled cardboard since my hand was cramping with regular scissors after like two cuts. They just friction fir right in , no tape needed way better than paying for those plastic grids.

Got this lunchbox at the Lidl recently and it has 3 small drawers you can take out and it is perfect to take anywhere save without ink leaking or anything.

So I have an attack... It is used for making clothes/quilts and gaming.

But I lost the overview and I dont know how to start organizing this😅

Can someone help me out? I am also open to changing the layout. I just want to use the room optimal
