Control (and disguise!) the unruly tangle of cords that take up residence underneath your bathroom sink. All you need is a toilet paper roll to corral your hair straightener’s coil.
Instead of scooping Fido’s kibble from a precariously floppy bag, minimize the chance of a big spill by pouring the food into a sturdier, wide-mouthed bin. This one’s a spray-painted popcorn canister leftover from the holidays.
With a display as pretty as this one (can you believe the frame is from IKEA?), you’ll always remember to hang your favorite hoops and studs side-by-side.
If your kid’s got a friendship bracelet habit (or if you love to craft) keep loose embroidery floss from turning into a gnarled pile by wrapping and securing it around clothespins.
Two smartly spaced coat hooks are all you need to hide your ironing board behind your laundry room door, and still gain easy access when it’s time to combat creases.
Tiny clothes mean a two-tiered system can be totally functional (no maxi dresses skimming the floor here!). Hang a second rod or place shelves in the lower half of the closet to make it work twice as hard.
Skinny spice racks (these are from IKEA) are easy to hang, and keep kids’ bedtime stories handy. Plus, the colorful covers make for instant wall art.
Small magnets securely hold your nail clippers and hair pins, and keep even the easiest-to-lose objects in plain sight. Washi tape adds a five-second decorative touch.
