Why Hire a Kitchen and Bath Design Professional?
July 30, 2024

Many people don’t think about vertical storage when they think about organizing their homes. There are vertical solutions for every room, whether it is a magnetic strip on the kitchen wall to hold knives, a peg wall with hooks and holders in the garage for tools, sports equipment, and gardening supplies, or a decorative spice rack near your stove to corral those small bottles and free up cabinet space. If you are a crafter like I am, you know how quickly craft supplies can multiply and get out of control. Instead of stuffing them all in boxes and cupboards where you can’t see them, consider mounting a wall organizing system like this one from Hafele.

Another area that can benefit from decluttering is your clothes closet. Discard or donate any clothes that are outdated, no longer fit, or that you haven’t worn in the last several years. Be brutal! Once it’s out of sight, it will most likely be out of mind as well.

Once the decluttering is done, now you need to find a way to store the clothes that are left in a way that is convenient and easily accessible. Converting one wall or a portion of one wall to adjustable shelves is one solution. Baskets can hold loose items such as scarves, while clear plastic boxes can keep out of season shoes neat, clean, and organized. Vertical storage in the closet is another solution that many people may not consider. Symphony Wall Organizers come in a variety of heights and the bars can shift left or right to accommodate light switches and outlets. A variety of hooks allow flexibility to hang everything from shoes to bags to hats to jewelry, keeping everything easily accessible.


These are just a few ways you can organize your home to help reduce your stress and save you time. A quick online search will inspire you with many more ideas to declutter. Although the process may seem daunting, it will pay off in the end!
