Let's dive a little further into this step and what it involves.
Assess Your Storage Needs
Before purchasing any containers, assess your storage needs. Consider the size of the items you need to store and the quantity. This will help you determine the type and size of containers you need. For example, do you have a ton of makeup products? Invest in a clear acrylic makeup organizer, or if you need to store larger items such as pillows and blankets, make sure to look for a storage cube with ample space.
Consider Material
Containers come in different materials, such as plastic, metal, fabric, and wicker. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages. For instance, plastic containers are lightweight, durable, and affordable, while metal containers are sturdy and long-lasting. Consider the pros and cons of each material and choose one that suits your design, style, and budget.
Organize By Color
Organizing by color is one of the most popular strategies for making a space look more visually appealing and inviting. Not only does this make it easier to find items, but it also looks great! Choose containers that match or complement the colors in your home decor. For example, if you have navy walls and grey furniture, choose containers in shades of navy and grey.
Think Outside the Box
When it comes to storage, don't be afraid to get creative! If you're running out of space or want to save money on containers, think outside the box for solutions. Use baskets and bins made from natural materials such as rattan or burlap. Hang up pegboards or shelves to store smaller items. Reuse old tins and jars to create a unique display. The possibilities are endless!
