Sprung has (almost) sprung! That means flowers and bunnies and Easter eggs and … cleaning? What is it about spring that someone decided to associate with cleaning? The sun is out, the birds are chirping — sounds like a great time to stay indoors and organize your sock drawer! I will say, there’s something refreshing about refreshing your space, whether it’s the kitchen or garage, and Wayfair has just what you need to refine your space.
These products are designed to simplify your space and declutter your life … or at least give you a good head start. Are you using the free storage under your bed? You will be after you see the fabric box below. Don’t have enough closets? You won’t need any with this closet dupe. Office supplies, toys or food storage out of control? Consider it covered, er, stored. Get to spring cleaning so you’re ready for summer fun.
Maximize Your Underbed Space
My life changed the day I realized I had hidden storage I wasn’t maximizing; all I had to do was look under the bed. These fabric organizer boxes are perfect for out-of-season clothing, shoes, blankets and towels, and they slide neatly out of sight with just a touch. This purchase includes two, which will have you well on your way to underbed domination in your house.
Storage Bins Are Great For Everything
You know that hot sauce commercial that says, “I put that [stuff] on everything?” That’s how I feel about these open fabric storage bins. In my nearly 25-year adult life, I’ve used them for everything from toys to socks to CDs (remember CDs) to clothes. This set includes six and you can choose from natural, which blends with anything, or a rich aqua.
This Shoe Rack Means Room For More Shoes
A 24-pair shoe rack can only mean one thing: You have room for more shoes! My spring cleaning usually includes tossing old clothes and shoes I need to part with but no more — not when I can just buy more storage shelves. (If you come to my house and there are shoes in the kitchen, just mind your business.)
Organize Even Without A Closet
Did you know you can’t really call a bedroom a bedroom if it doesn’t have a closet? That doesn’t stop you from using it as a bedroom but it definitely puts a cramp in storage. This chic closet system is all closet in terms of functionality but without those pesky doors. The versatility here is off the charts with both shelving and hanging rods.
These Seagrass Baskets Aren’t For Bunnies
Baskets can add a lot of personality to a space while also giving you some sneaky storage space. This seagrass basket set comes in three sizes (think “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” here … “it’s just right!”) to hold anything from clothes to household necessities. It’s like convenience and decor had a baby and you’re the … godparent? Beneficiary? Whichever, just buy the baskets.
This Storage Cabinet Is So Versatile
This storage cabinet from Sterilite might be my favorite storage essential on this list because it can go in so many places, from a mudroom to a laundry room to a garage. Inside, you’ll find four adjustable shelves to hide away your gear. There’s even an accommodation for a standard-sized padlock, just in case you want to keep little fingers out of harm’s way.
An Entire System For Your Garage
When one cabinet isn’t enough for you, it’s time to think about an entire system like this storage cabinet system. (It’s an organizer’s dream!) You’ll get two utility cabinets with adjustable shelves for items big and small; one cabinet broken into two storage areas; and, a pull-out drawer for smaller items. Adjustable legs keep this set level and wall-mounting hardware is included.
Contain The Clutter With Plastic Totes
If I had a dollar for every plastic tote I’ve purchased in my life, I could buy an entire Container Store (or three). They’re the OG when it comes to storage, though, and the clear ones are my favorite. Why? I’m glad you asked! Because you can see everything inside without touching everything inside. Genius.
Keep Your Sponge Within Reach
What do you do with your kitchen sponge when you’re finished washing dishes? Leave it on the counter? Keep it in the sink? Hide it in a drawer? Wrong answers, all three. This steel holder keeps your sponge front and center where you can grab it and also where it can dry quickly. Just attach the suction cups to the inside of your sink, wherever it’s handy for you.
Canisters Can Be Decorative, Too
I’m a big fan of open shelving in a kitchen but even if you don’t have them, you can still upgrade your storage to something that’s useful and visually appealing. This four-piece canister set is meant for dry goods storage (think pasta, grains and beans) and comes with airtight bamboo lids to preserve freshness. The canisters themselves are made of strong borosilicate glass.
See-Through Food Storage For Your Pantry
If you’re (only slightly) less concerned about the aesthetics of your food storage, but still like to be organized, this seven-container food storage set is calling your name. Complete with four different sizes for convenience, these boast easy flip-top lids and come with reusable labels to identify each container’s contents. Of course, if you can’t tell just by a glance, it might be time to schedule an eye exam.
Keep The Trash Out Of Sight
When I grow up, I want to be so classy that even my trash is chic. This pull-out trash can stays tucked out of sight when you want it to be and is available with just a touch when you need it to be. What I like the most about this is the extra storage that comes with that shelf, which would be perfect for the recycling bin.
This Dish Storage Protects Family Heirlooms
I never understood why people needed dinnerware storage sets until I became an adult and both inherited family china and decided I needed holiday plates for every occasion. (Groundhog Day mugs, anyone?) This five-piece set keeps plates and mugs in mint condition and ready to shine for special occasions .. or, you know, Groundhog Day. Grab them in gray or white.
Put Toys In Their Place
It’s a lot easier to sing “The Clean Up Song,” when you have somewhere for your tiny household members to put things. This toy organizer with bins offers three ways to store with three removable drawers at the bottom, a shelf for books or toys and a top shelf for dolls or activities like coloring. Choose from wheeled or non-wheeled options.
It’s A Bathroom In A Box
Just because you have to clean doesn’t mean you enjoy it. Sometimes, it’s just easier to start over. If that’s your motto, you need this bath essentials kit. This set is the perfect “no fuss” option and includes a shower curtain and hooks, a towel set, rug, shower storage shelves and even a vanity organizer. If you’ve got a kid going to college or one getting their first apartment, this set is a no-brainer.
There’s Always More Room For Storage
Open storage shelves remind me of some of the professional and chef’s kitchens I’ve seen on television, and the great part is that it adds loads of storage. This pantry organization kit includes a four-shelf unit, a three-piece wicker rattan basket set, a four-piece kitchen canister set and a plate storage chest (basically, some of the products we’ve already discussed but buyable in one click).
Grab This Complete Kitchen Set
If you loved those two prior kits, you’re going to love this kitchen essentials set. Without having to check 49 different websites or visit 13 different stores, you can get a paper towel holder, dish towels, trash can, oven mitts, dish drainer, utensil set and basket in one fell swoop. Your purchase can also be customized (like the others) with only the pieces you need.
Sturdy Shelves Expand Your Garage Storage
Restore order to your only viable “outdoor” storage area — your garage — with this customizable kit that’s a one-stop shop for organization. This set includes a three-step ladder, a stainless steel-topped workbench, a pegboard organizer, industrial shelving (pictured above), stool and plastic storage tote. If it’s time to take back your garage, this set will make you look like you really know what you’re doing.
Office Supplies Have Met Their Match
All organizing tasks aren’t monumental tasks; sometimes, it’s as simple as getting your workstation or desk in order. This rotating supply organizer is the perfect way to corral pens, markers, scissors, paper clips and more. It rotates a full 360 degrees and has four non-slip pads on the bottom for stability. With nine compartments, you can expand your Sharpie collection. (No? Just me?)
