Closet overflowing? Can't open a cabinet without its contents falling on your head? We know a few tricks that could give you a good hand!
Magnetic tapes
They are designed to store knives in the kitchen. But you can also use it to keep all your hairpins, your eyebrow tweezers or your nail clippers in one place: all those little things that too often end up in the bottom of drawers and that you never find, when the time comes to use it. If you don't want the strips to show, you can also install them inside a drawer or cabinet.
Cans
Use an old magazine rack to store and classify your tin cans, in the closet.

Wine boxes
When you buy several bottles of wine, at the SAQ, take the opportunity to take a box. The wine and spirits boxes are solid, and inside you will find dividers: ideal for storing shoes! To make it look prettier, decorate the box a bit.

Egg boxes
Egg boxes are perfect for storing sewing supplies: threads, needles, spare buttons…

Cables
With all our electronic gadgets, we are struggling with millions of wires! Do not panic: by installing large binding clips on the side of our work desk, we avoid tangling our cables and find everything more quickly.

Wrapping Paper
It's handy to have a few rolls of wrapping paper, but those are kind of bulky, right? Store them in the corner of a closet, and immobilize them with two iron wires. Neither seen nor known.

Wardrobe
Opening the wardrobe has become risky? Find something there; mission impossible? No need to get rid of your clothes: hanging a chain from the rod could allow you to use the vertical space. And for scarves and other accessories: place shower curtain rings on a hanger.

Plastic pots
Ah! The famous drawer where all your plastic dishes are! If there is one that is in disorder,It's This one! Are you one of those who are getting rid of their compact discs (long live digital)? If so, know that you can use the small CD shelves to store the lids of your plastic pots.

Glass Jars
They are not just for canning in the fall: glass jars (Mason type) are super practical! Securely attach covers under shelves or cabinets, in kitchens, bathrooms or bedrooms. You can then use them to store all sorts of things.

Under the bed
It's not just monsters that can hide under the bed! Indeed, you can store a lot of stuff under it. Recycle old dresser drawers, to which you will screw casters, to store clothes. We can also hide our suitcases in it (filled with summer or winter clothes, depending on the season).
Under the sink
If there is one space that tends to get disorganized quickly, it's the one under the sink. Install a small rod: this will allow you to hang the vaporizers. Do not forget to put hooks inside the door: there is also space for storage!
Doggies
The floor has completely disappeared and you are struggling to findthe bed, under this high tide of doggies? When all the storage furniture is at capacity, it becomes difficult to find a corner for all those furry little friends.
So, transform a simple piece of furniture (a box, a bookcase) into a cage, by passing elastic frames to the opening. It's quick and easy to do, and you'll quickly be able to put the doggies away so they won't fall over.

The green bag
One of the best ways to tidy up is cleaning up: and by that, we mean “big” cleaning! The one where you get rid of items you no longer need. Once a year, we go around the house and get rid of all these little obsolete things. Children are asked to do the same. Afterwards, you have the choice: the garage sale or the donation. You'll see: we feel surprisingly good, after shedding our old stuff!
