11 Simple Hacks to Organize Your Home

Never worry about tripping over boots, hats or scarves again. Build yourself a wall storage bin to organize gear. Replace the numbers with names to assign a bin to each member of the family.

Store away crockpots, space heaters, fans and more without the annoying cord mess. Attach a strip of Velcro to the device and its cord and voilà! Life made simple.

You can buy ornament bins or you can make your own. Crafted using a wood rod and a plastic storage container, the rods hold ornaments in place while giving storage space below. Once all the ornaments are hung on the two rods just slide them back into the slots and you're all done packing! The bin is still very lightweight, and there is no wiggle room for the ornaments to fall off. Use this hack for the next Christmas.

Clean up the garage with a few pieces of plywood and 2-by-2-inch pieces of lumber. From keeping sports gear in place to hanging mops and rakes, this guy has got you covered.

Hang whatever you can possibly think of with the use of a simple bungee cord and a piece of wood. Stain the wood to match your decor and hang it using the same method as a picture frame.

Pallets are great for building furniture, so why not repurpose one for a nifty storage solution? Paint it and add necessary hooks for an instant shabby chic organization hack. If you have a yard or a garden, you know that there are a lot of long-handled tools involved. If you don’t have any pallets lying around, they are easy to get for free. This is a quick one-hour project and after you’re done, your tools will be organized and easy to reach.
You could easily attach this pallet to a fence, shed or to the exposed wall studs in your garage. No matter what you choose, you’ll want to make sure that your screws are long enough to go through both your pallet and the wall you are attaching it to. We drilled two screws into the pallet, one into each exposed wall stud. You won’t need a ton of screws or nails because the pallet isn’t all that heavy.

Create more space in not-so-spacious living quarters by building yourself a flip-down wall desk. You can create a work space organized to hold your essentials without taking up too much room.
