The fridge can easily become one of the messiest places in your home. With takeout containers and leftovers blocking your view, forgetting about the produce you’ve purchased can happen far too often.

This adorable bin shot from Joanna Organize shows just how easy it is to keep clutter at bay. These bins can store anything your heart desires, but they’re the perfect size for holding clothes you typically fold, like socks, pajamas, and workout clothes.

Your cleaning products and un-sortable items need periodic cleanups, too. Instead of letting your wipes and disinfectants roll around drawers or cabinets, store them neatly in labeled containers and bins. Create homes for extra items you aren't sure where to store, as seen in this pantry, which contains an emergency kit and laundry supplies.
Store Seasonal Decorations

Not sure what to do with your decorations after your favorite holiday ends? Find storage boxes and bins that fit your collection—but leave some space for new additions—and make sure everything is labeled.
Keep a section of your home dedicated to storing the seasonal decorations, whether it be in a spare closet of the basement.
Garage Storage

We can’t neglect the space in our home that is constantly cluttered: the garage. Since you may have a mix of items in there, from old décor to power tools, store things strategically. For example, if you have bins full of old keepsakes, keep them on a high shelf out of the way, as seen here. Then, hang your frequently used tools on storage racks so they’re easily accessible when you need them.
