Storage bins are a classic organizing solution, and one of my favorite ways to keep things tidy. Below are some of my favorite fresh ways to use storage bins!

You will find bins in practically every room of my home because they are just that good! Simple, effective, and inexpensive, you can’t go wrong using bins to keep your home neat.

1. Laundry Room Storage

Laundry is one of my least favorite household chores, but having a beautifully organized laundry room makes it easier. It would be a dream to do laundry in this charming farmhouse space, don’t you agree?

The labeled wicker bins make it easy to keep track of all your laundry essentials. You could use them to store laundry pods, fabric softener, stain remover, and more!

If you like the look of these baskets, you could buy a set like this for your own laundry room. I love that it comes with its own set of labels.

2. Garage Organization

Do you have tons of stuff that needs to be stored in your garage? I can relate.

Keeping my garage tidy would be nearly impossible without lots and lots of bins. I love the idea of using bins for items and equipment that are out of season.

This is a simple, no-fuss garage organizing solution!

3. Playroom Organization

Does toy clutter drive you crazy? I know how you feel.

Storage bins are one of the best ways to keep toys from taking over your household. Using a cubby unit with bins will ensure that everything has a designated space.

If you like this idea, this 9-bin organizer would be perfect for your kid’s playroom!

4. Linen Closet Storage

Storage bins work great in linen closets. I have tons of towels, washcloths, and sheets that I store in my linen closet, and hate when they get all jumbled together.

Having designated bins for each item will keep your closet tidy and make things easier to find!

5. Knitting and Crochet Project Storage

Knitting and crochet projects, especially those that are in progress, can be bulky. I always find it helpful to have a designated bin for my knitting and crochet projects to make sure that they have enough space and don’t get messed up!

A simple bin is the perfect solution. You can keep it in your living room by the couch, in the bedroom, or in your crafting space depending on where you prefer to knit and crochet!

6. Hair Accessory Storage

I use a lot of hair accessories and so do my little ones. Keeping track of hair ties, barrettes, tiny bows, headbands, and more can be tricky.

Luckily, bins are a great simple solution. You can have a bin dedicated to each type of accessory, which will make things super easy to find on busy mornings!

7. Snack Bins for the Pantry

Does your family love to nibble on individual snack bags? Mine are the same way!

I find that those little bags can quickly become disorganized on pantry or cabinet shelves. Arranging them in bins is an easy way to keep your space tidy.

As a bonus, it makes your favorite nibbles more accessible! Wire baskets like this would be perfect for your snack collection.

8. School Paper Organization System

Do your kids bring home tons of paper from school? I know this struggle well.

Between worksheets, artwork, tests, report cards, and more, it seems like school paperwork is never ending! Using a filing bin like this will make sure that you don’t lose any of those important documents.

You can label folders by paperwork type, date, or school year!

9. Clear Bins for Toy Organization

Do you use a toy rotation system at your house? I do because my kids have too many toys.

I find that when I rotate their toys, they play with them for longer and are more imaginative and even more appreciative! Plus, it makes our home look way neater.

If you have a storage space, consider buying several clear, large bins like this to stash toys that your kids aren’t currently using. You can swap them out every so often and will easily be able to locate any toy that your kiddo wants since the bins are clear!

10. Medicine Cabinet Supplies

I used to think that I didn’t need storage bins in my medicine cabinet since it was so small. But when I finally got some, it really elevated my organization game.

I was able to group similar items together and it made everything so easy to find (and so visually appealing!) A set of small acrylic bins like this would work wonders for your medicine cabinet!

11. Game Organization

Do you love playing board games but hate how much space they take up? I completely understand and have a great solution!

You can store your gameboards and pieces in large zipper pouches and arrange them nicely in large bins. This will keep your game board area super tidy!

12. Craft Room Storage

Do you have too many crafting supplies? I can relate to this (and so can any avid crafter!)

Adding some good bins to your craft room will help make sure that you have a nicely organized space so that you can work. You can use them for paint jars, pens, pencils and crayons, paper, and more.

13. Cleaning Product Organization

I have always found it a bit of a struggle to keep cleaning supplies tidy. Many are awkwardly shaped and bulky.

Fortunately, bins work great for cleaning supplies. All you need to do is find the right sized bins for your cleaning products and you are all set!

An organized office is a must-have if I want to get any work done. If you are the same way, adding some bins to your space will give you instant organization!

16. Seasonal Home Decor Storage

I love a festive home that fits the current season, but storing my seasonal décor can be tricky. Large bins give me plenty of space and make it easy to locate my favorite items every year!

17. Turn Closet Shelves into Drawers

I like drawers much better than simple shelving. If you do too, you can easily transform your closet shelves into drawers by adding bins with handles.

They can be pulled out for easy access!

18. Notebook Storage

I use several notebooks and journals every day and like to have my favorites easily accessible. Clear bins like this work great for notebook storage!

19. Organize Storage Closet

I stash a lot of different items in my “everything” storage closet. If you have one of these too, labeled and categorized bins will be a game-changer when it comes to keeping things organized!

20. Store Backstock Items

I like to buy a large supply of certain items to make sure that I always have everything I need on hand. Adding bins to an unused closet or other storage space to these items makes sure that all your backstock items have a designated place.
