Storage & Organization

From the kitchen and bathroom to the bedroom and laundry room, here are 40 ways to simplify, streamline, and banish clutter throughout the house.

There's a lot of storage potential hiding back there, so don't waste it on items you never use.

Your entryway may be the space your family utilizes every morning to get ready for the day ahead, but it's also the first impression guests get when they enter your house. With that in mind, it's easy to see why this area needs to be both functional and representative of your overall style.  Often a dumping ground for shoes, coats, and other everyday wares, it's easy for your foyer to fill up with its fair share of clutter. But by implementing simple organizing systems—like a coat and shoe rack—you can quickly make this space orderly and functional. Once the basics are covered, it's all about incorporating accessories to further maximize and stylize the space, like sleek umbrella organizers, mirrors, and shelving.

Experts share how to reorganize the major rooms in your home, including the living room, kitchen, and main bathroom. Each space requires a different approach.
