Whatever size your home is, there are always too many of your posessions and not enough space. But there are many easy ways you can organize your home on the inside and outside to keep tidy. There is one thing we all have in common around our homes. Have you ever heard anyone complain, 'I have too much closet space'? - very rarely heard. What about 'My garage is too neat and tidy'? - No! Well the real trick in keeping your home together is two-fold. Everything needs a place of its own and needs to be kept there when not in use, always and without exception, so that five minute task does not expand into hours searching for that elusive thing whatever it is. Here are some tips and products to help you get organized.
General Storage
Storage boxes now come in every style, color, and shape. They are sturdy and stackable. Larger units can hold holiday decorations and toys. Smaller units can slide under your bed to hold sweaters and shoes.
For those of you with basements these boxes make great sense if your basement ever gets water. They’ll keep your items dry and if you get a lot of water they can even float. For safety, if you are using larger boxes for storage drill some holes in the top about ½” round to let a little airflow inside, just in case a small child were to lock themselves inside. The holes also help to promote airflow around the contents unless you want to exclude damp air, in which case the contents should be packed to the top and a layer of plastic sheet used to block the holes.
The Closet
The single rod for hangers and shelf in most closets does not make use of the available space. These days closet organizers can be bought in home centers and hardware stores. And they take virtually no skills to install. A screwdriver, drill, hammer, and tape measure are about all you’ll need. And in a short time you can have a closet that will make full use of the available space for more clothes and apparel.
Garage and Deck
Garages and decks are areas that seem to collect all sorts of junk, much of which fits neatly anywhere else. Rubbermaid® has many ways to keep all sorts of hard to fit items organized. The 'SportsStation' can organize balls, bats and almost any sporting equipment will fit right inside and be ready for you when you need it. Now your kids have no excuse to put things away. The 'Corner Deck Box' is a great way to use that corner space on your deck or patio to store all of your outdoor gear. The sturdy cabinet is waterproof and will store you outdoor furniture seating pads, Bar-B-Que tools, even your spare propane tank. It has a valuble bonus of being lockable as well. Rubbermaid also make a variety of storage cabinets. These can be placed outdoors, in the garage, or even in the basement. The cabinets can store items like garbage bags, fuel tanks, and even tools.
Keeping tools organized is a must around your home, a stackable toolbox will help you organize your basement and garage. The great thing about these units is that there is plenty of room to grow as you acquire more tools. How often have you bought that tool for some project in the future and stored it, only to be lost forever when the crucial project time comes around! Does your home have multiple bicycles? Stackable bike racks are a great way to use all the space in your garage or even a storage locker in your apartment building. By their akward nature bicycles take up a lot of space and stacking them give you more much room.
