We’ve seen some Nice Shower Rack Choices here at Declutter It before, but to round out our bathroom decluttering and organizing bonaza, I figured I’d bring in a few more

It’s appropriate for showers or as an above the tub solution. Available at Pottery Barn. (I didn’t even know they had bath goods!)

As small as they are, I swear kids come with more junk and gear than any adult I’ve ever met. Once I had my son, my household clutter grew a lot faster, and staying on top of it became more of a challenge. That said, there are some excellent kid-sized bathroom storage solutions around that will help to keep your life a little less cluttered and a lot saner; at least during tub time.

This week, or maybe this month, we’re concentrating on Getting An Organized & Clutter-Free Home for the New Year. Right now we’re looking at bathrooms.
General ideas for decluttering your bathroom:
While I’m a big fan of consolidating bathroom products to save space, I know that advice like this is hard for some to swallow. Many people love their beauty products. If you’re a beauty product junkie, I can live with that, but your bathroom might not be able to. Don’t store unopened products in the bathroom. If you must have five face creams and four conditioners, only store the items you …read more

If you’re working on getting your closets organized, and following all the basic tips, but still having problems, here are some ideas…
1. Consider moving your closet out of the closet. Get an inexpensive wardrobe. IKEA has the best looking inexpensive wardrobes, such as this Aneboda Wardrobe shown below (a steal at under $100).
2. A dresser works well too, but not quite as well, because it won’t allow you to hang stuff.
3. Use an over the door shoe holder vs. keeping your shoes in your closet. I don’t love the look of having shoes hanging out, but if your closet is …read more

This week we’re talking about getting an organized and clutter-free home for the new year. A good place to start is somewhere small. For example, tackling your closets is a great place to start.
Closets are easier than other home areas to organize and declutter, mainly because they tend to be small, and because there are plenty of inexpensive organizational products available that can help you.
Closet tips:
Plan a day. Because closets are small, it’s unnecessary to drag this out. Choose a free day, and plan to declutter and organize your closet from start to finish.
Most closets only need a good purging. …read more

Dead space is a tiny, or not so tiny spot in your home that’s just sitting there, not being useful. Most people have lots of dead spaces, yet are always thinking, “Where can I put this?”
To use dead space:
Make a list: Trot around your house and make a list of dead spaces. Types of dead spaces include inside cabinet doors, above bookshelves, under tables, and some wall space.
Make a second list: Your second list builds on your list of dead spaces. For example; you see that you have a dead space in your hall closet. When you open the closet …read more
