1. Build a Laundry Room Sorting Station With Floating Shelves
One of the biggest chores on everyone’s to-do list is laundry. It’s not only laborious but involves a number of steps that require a lot of space. From sorting out whites to loading, unloading and folding, extra laundry room organization makes the task easier. Since most of us don’t have the luxury of extra space, add floating shelves to store things like laundry detergent, fabric softener and extra laundry baskets.
With no floor space, go vertical and install wall shelves. Floating wall shelves with brackets also act as a countertop for folding and sorting laundry. Build your own laundry sorter with laundry hampers and baskets with tags for whites, darks and special care items. Measure the length of the wall where you want to install the shelves and decide how many shelves you want. Just make sure to leave enough space between each shelf to fit a standard laundry basket. You can add labels to laundry baskets for easy sorting. Say hello to your new favorite chore.
2. Turn a Bar Cart Into a Bathroom Organizer
The bathroom is one area of the house that always benefits from more storage. Storage is extra important if you have a small bathroom or are renting and can’t install a bathroom storage cabinet. Think outside the box, and the bathroom department, for versatile storage options. A bar cart or rolling cart is a great idea for storage in a bathroom since it doesn’t require any installation and only a little planning. It’s perfect for small bathrooms since you can move it out of the way as needed. Keep all your bathroom supplies and everyday essentials easily accessible and organized with clear bins and containers. Want more bathroom storage tips?

3. Create a Toy Storage and Organizer for Your Kids’ Playroom
The playroom is always full of fun, chaos and toys. At the end of a hectic day of play, walking into a room full of toys and games on the floor is stressful. It’s easy to toss everything in a toy box to sort later, but that only adds to your to-do list. Instead, pick up a cube toy storage cabinet from Lowe’s. Design a playroom storage system with a spot for each toy that encourages kids to pick up after themselves. For younger kids, use clear storage bins so they can easily see where each type of toy belongs. For older kids who can read, add simple labels to fabric bins. Make cleaning up the playroom a game and set a timer to see how fast they can each clean up 10 toys. You’ll be amazed at how quickly the toys make it back in the bins.
