Are you irritated and stressed because your living space is disorganized?

Here are 21 ways to organize your home like a pro. They don’t cost a fortune and don’t require loads of time to get done.

From the kitchen to the bedroom, the pantry, and the fridge, these easy organizing ideas will make a world of difference.

1. Use Foldable Hangers to Get More Space in Your Closet

These unique ‘magic’ foldable hangers are a game changer when it comes to organizing your closet.

The metal hangers allow you to hang clothing in a cascading style, up to six pieces on one hanger, using up a fraction of the space.

They are sturdy, non-slip, and you can arrange your clothes so they are instantly accessible and visible. A must-have for any fashionista!

2. Use Plastic Rails to Organize Coffee Pods

Calling all coffee aficionados! Are you tired of rummaging through jars of disorganized pods to find your favorite flavor?

Attach plastic rails to the wall using double-sided tape. Allow sufficient space in between the rails to slide in the pods.

Now you have a fabulous show-off coffee gallery wall! 

3. Store Board Games in Mesh Bags to Save More Space

Are you running out of space in the kid’s closets? This idea is brilliant!

Get rid of bulky packaging boxes and repack your board games into soft mesh zipper bags like these.

Stack the bags upright to save even more space. Because they are see-through, kids can easily find what they are looking for.

4. Hang Your Earrings on a Rack Attached to Your Desk

I am always amazed by creative organizing ideas that use spaces one would never think of! How about turning the side of your desk into an earring organizer?

You need 2 adhesive towel hooks like these and a metal grid rack like this. You can also use a baking cooling rack if you have one to spare.

Mount on the side of your desk and you have a stunning earring display that takes up no space!

5. Organize Your Cups with a Shelf Divider

My next pro organizing tip is for those of us who cannot get enough mugs and cups. This idea prevents the cups from potentially crashing onto the floor every time you open the cabinet!

Install removable shelf dividers inside the cabinet. You instantly have more surface space for storing and displaying your collection.

Shelf dividers like these are lightweight and inexpensive and you can mix and match the layout to suit your needs.

6. Taking a Picture of a Room Will Help You Identify the Clutter

Do you find that you are living or working amidst loads of clutter that you don’t see? Instead of taking selfies, take a picture of the room, desk, shelf, or cluttered area.

Now, take a look at the picture and identify the clutter! Start tidying up and you will soon feel relaxed, revitalized, and ready to take on the next challenge.

7. Attach Broom Holders to a Wall

Using wall space to get organized is another ‘pro’ idea!

Don’t leave your brooms lying around in the kitchen or pantry where they can topple over and become a hazard.

These handy broom wall mounts allow you to neatly hang your brooms on the wall for easy access.

8. Label All Storage Boxes

If you have already taken the step of organizing seasonal clothes, toys, books, and other less-used household items into storage boxes – well done! You are one step ahead.

Now, complete the process by labeling the boxes so that you can quickly and easily find what you need.

9. Store Tea Bags in a Tea Organizer

If you are a serious entertainer, you want to look like a pro. Having mismatched half-filled boxes of tea bags just won’t do the trick!

I found this chic natural bamboo tea bag organizer on Amazon.

It will let you sort your tea bags into flavors, types, and blends, and add a touch of elegance to your high-tea afternoon.

10. Organize Your Freezer with Multiple Bins

Freezers become a nightmare when you cannot find what you are looking for. Get organized like a pro and use multiple small plastic bins to sort out your produce.

Pack them by type of product such as meat, fish, poultry, veggies, fruit, and frozen treats.

You can also use the bins to organize your freezer by expiry date, dietary requirements, and even meal plans.

11. Get Rid of Expired Medicine

If you are like me – you probably tend to neglect your medicine stash.

Then, when a member of the family falls ill, you encounter all types of stress looking for the correct medication and ensuring that it has not expired.

Organize your home like a pro and regularly discard expired medication. Not only does it take up space, but it can become ineffective and even harmful to your health.

Remember – Do not dispose of medication in the trash – look for pharmacy take-back programs or local medication drop-off sites.

12. Create an Outfit and Hang it all Together

This organizing tip has been a lifesaver for me. I no longer rush around in the morning in a panic trying to put together an outfit for the day.

Plan your outfit and hang all the components together. It is instantly ready to wear when you need it.

You can hook multiple hangers together, use the pull tabs from a soft drink can to add hooks for extra hangers, OR, take a look at my Tip 1 for a fabulous folding hanger idea!

13. Use a Tension Rod to Hang Detergents

This innovative home organizing tip will dramatically reduce the storage space needed for detergents and cleaning products.

Install a small inexpensive tension rod like this in your cabinet. Hang up any product that has a spray top – it forms a natural handle! You will instantly free up shelf space and organize your cabinet.

14. Attach Clothes Pegs to the Wall

Once again – empty walls become great organizers. This time I am using everyday clothes pegs to create ample storage space.

Use double-sided adhesive tape to attach the clothes pegs to the wall. You create hanging space for clothes, garden gloves, scarves, lightweight bags, accessories, postcards, and more.

This pro organizing idea can be used in a kitchen, pantry, bathroom, garden shed, laundry, garage, cellar, or even in the kid’s room!

15. Set an Alarm to Tidy up 10 Minutes a Day

We all have mobile phones with alarms that can alert us to anything from catching an airplane to drinking enough water!

Why not set an alarm to tidy up for 10 minutes a day? The results will be amazing.

Pick up clothes that are lying around, straighten out some drawers, throw away expired fridge items, and stack magazines neatly. Simply do whatever catches your eye.

These small 10-minute sessions go a long way toward having a neat, tidy, clean, and organized home at all times.

16. Store Dry Food in Glass Bottles or Containers

Dry food comes in boxes of all shapes and sizes, making it difficult to organize them, or know which are full or empty.

Invest in a stylish set of glass containers like this. They are ideal for compact kitchens.

The airtight seals keep dry food fresh and the clear glass design offers visibility and easy access.

17. Throw Away Your Odd Socks

We all know that socks have a mysterious way of vanishing into the depths of the washing machine, never to return.

And, we are left struggling to find a matching pair, usually when we are in a rush!

Pair up your socks and throw away all the oddments. Maybe they will find their partners in sock heaven.

18. Turn the Stem Glasses Upside Down so That They Take Up Less Space

This is an organizing tip that will appeal to puzzle lovers! By stacking stem glasses upside down, you save loads of space on shelves and in cabinets.

Place one row of stem glasses right side up, and the second row in front of them, upside down. Give it a try! It makes perfect sense when you see it happen.

19. Use Plastic Containers to Organize Detergents Under the Sink

Do you long for a neat, efficient, clutter-free space under the sink? It is not difficult to do.

Use inexpensive plastic containers like these and sort out your detergents. Separate them into laundry detergents, dishwashing, oven cleaning, window cleaning, and surface cleaning products.

The different colors can help you easily find what you need. You can also be a pro-organizer and label the containers.

20. Use a Box with Dividers to Store Your Socks

Well, as we know – socks have a mind of their own. They roll around, get tangled, and generally become very irritating pieces of clothing!

Tame your socks by storing them in a box with dividers. You can organize them by color, fabric type, and style. If you are pressed for space, you can stack the boxes on multiple levels.

21. Set Up Some Hooks in the Kitchen to Hang Potholders

I have some really cute potholders in my kitchen that are both practical and decorative. But, I can never find them when I need them!

This cool idea organizes and displays potholders, adding a warm, cozy vibe to a kitchen. Simply set up some hooks, collect the potholders from your drawers, cabinets, pantry, and laundry, and do some interior decorating.
