10 Organization Tips for the “Everything” Room of Your House

1. Hang a pegboard for easy-to-see storage. Choose the wall nearest to the door. Store small items in buckets or empty paint cans.

2. One item in, one item out. For every item you bring into the garage, take one item out for donation or recycling. 
 

3. Organize for accessibility. Store items you use most frequently on shelves at eye-level or drawers that are easy to reach.

4. Designate a place for tools. Choose one drawer for household tools like screwdrivers and hammers.

5. Get rid of junk. Toss, recycle or donate anything old, broken, unused or unwanted.

6. Plan a garage sale. Schedule it for a Saturday in spring near the beginning or middle of the month when most people get paid.

7. Create holiday storage. Buy clear storage bins for ornaments, lights and wrapping paper. Label each bin.

8. Don’t let laundry pile up. If your washer and dryer are in your garage, keep clothes from creating clutter. Sort everything into two piles: whites and colors.

9. Install a magnetic knife holder. No, not for your kitchen knives. Use it for small tools like hex wrenches and screwdriver bits.

10. Store garbage bags easily. Re-purpose a paper towel dispenser to hold a roll of heavy-duty garbage bags.
