20 Organisation Tips From The Home Edit

Whether by style, colour, or both, create a system that makes your clothing not only look gorgeous while they're hanging, but easy-to-find as well.

A lazy Susan is a great way to maximise space and be able to easily access everything, from the very front of your shelf to the deepest depths of the back.

Everyone has those products in their bathroom that they use every day, without fail. Organise the essentials, all together, in a single place that's easy to access and has only your most favourite go-tos.

Sure, you can go crazy with new and fancy bins, baskets, and more, but there's nothing quite like the organisational quality of classic clear shoe boxes, both for their see-through nature as well as easy stackability.

If you're lacking in shelf-space but have room to grow on your closet rod, consider hanging your handbags from hooks that you can flip through like you would your tops or dresses.

If your closet is full of shelves but you're in desperate need of drawers, make your own! Use stacking bins or sliding versions of the same to create space for all those tiny accessories that don't stack easily on their own.

By putting things in clear, organised containers (i.e. all salad dressings in one) and not overcrowding your fridge, you're able to see exactly what you have so that you can access it easily and not forget about something and let it go to waste.

Sure, when you're stacking those colorful sweaters they look awesome, but then you try to take one out and all the piles fall together. Use clear shelf separators to ensure that they stay just as gorgeous as they were when you first organised your wardrobe.

You might have, in the past, thought of the under-the-sink area as a catchall, but not anymore. Organise your kitchen and bathroom areas, however hidden, just as you would your most prominent shelving units.

If you have extra shelving in your closet, consider folding your jeans instead of hanging them. Bonus points for organising them by wash!

What's a parent to do with all those legos that seem to always get underfoot? Organise the thousands of colorful pieces with like-hued ones in clear boxes.

Channel your inner Khloé Kardashian by meticulously stacking the contents of your snack jars instead of just throwing it all in at once. The result not only looks like a work of art, but also prevents all your cookies from crumbing around one another.

Whether a drawer or a bin, use smaller containers within the larger to sub-divide all the contents. It will allow you to use larger vessels for smaller items without risking everything becoming a muddled mess inside.

Whether it's bags of chips or cereal, packageing is more and more gorgeous by the day. Show it all off in colour-coded baskets, bins, and jars — whether in your hidden pantry or on full display on your kitchen countertop.

For those extra-special pieces, consider shelving to give them the treatment they deserve.

There's little more colorful than a collection of art supplies, so this is certainly not the time to hide them away. Take advantage of your built-in rainbow and colour-code to your heart's content.

Whether you use The Home Edit's own line of gorgeous labels or DIY your own, labeling everything makes it easy to not only find whatever it is you need but also get rid of otherwise messy packageing that might not maximise your storage space the way you'd like.

Whether it's a bin, basket, jar, or other storage unit, there's no harm in mixing and matching a bunch in the same setting. It's important to use the best vessel for the products you're trying to store, and not figuring out how to stuff a bag of potato chips into a jar meant for Jelly Beans.

Whether you're trying to store hard-to-organise items, like scarves or belts, or simply want to display some of your more prized possessions, use acrylic drawers underneath your hanging items in a closet to maximise otherwise unused space.

The Home Edit counts magazine organisers as great solutions for keeping unruly handbags nicely stacked. In short, be open-minded about what organisational devices work in what spaces.
