Are you tired of things pilling up in your home? Not having enough room for kids toys to be stored? Not knowing where you put something last week?
If you’re anything like us, you love the idea of being organized, but actually getting to a state of staying organized is a struggle. In the era of Marie Kondo and The Home Edit, organization is no longer a task nobody wants to take on– it’s fun, self-rewarding and visually appealing! Today on the blog, we’re sharing some of our simplest storage ideas and products to motivate you to keep your house organized!
Ready? Let’s go!
Woven Baskets
Simple, right? And oh so versatile! Not only are they a storage haven, but they also add flair and a layer of texture to any room of your house. Baskets made of natural materials are a must this year and will give a cozy feel to your home. Think wicker, seagrass, rattan.
Lidded baskets are perfect for open shelving or areas that are more exposed. They are great for tucking away toys, bathroom products or filing papers.
If you’re tired of having excess blankets laying all over your living room, trying using a larger woven basket to store extra pillows or throw blankets. Place it off to the side of your sofa or sectional– both functional and beautiful!
Here’s a few of our favorite retail woven baskets!
Acrylic Containers
If you’ve been following along, you may know that one of our biggest Market trends this year was acrylic. Not only is it trending in home furnishings and decor, but storage solutions, too! And now, thanks to The Home Edit’s exclusive new line with The Container Store, the options are endless.
From your pantry, to closet, to bathroom storage, and more! We love using acrylic containers due to their transparency, allowing you or clearly see what is stored where so you know what you are looking for.

Faux Book Storage Container
The best part about the process of organizing is to see how clever you can get! Like using old, hollowed out books to store some of the less visually appealing essential items in your home, such as TV remotes or your internet modem. You can place them on a bookshelf or coffee table, and only you will know what is there!
Drawer Organizers
We all have THAT junk drawer. You know? Where the misfit items in our homes go when we don’t know where else to put them– a calculator, a screwdriver, and old set of keys, a million rubber bands.
Well, what if… WHAT IF… there was a solution for that? There is– drawer organizers! In a variety of different shapes, size, and materials, there is sure to be a container for any drawer storage need, whether its your junk drawer, dresser, or kitchen utensils.

Label Everything
You know how Monica from ‘Friends’ would get giddy every time she pulled out her label maker? Same, girl, same. Whether it’s as simple as writing the contents of a storage container on a piece of paper or getting pretty labels for your pantry baskets, labeling will make your life a whole lot easier when you are looking for something days, weeks or years later!
If you’ve got good handwriting, go the DIY route and write out labels yourself. Or if you’re less artistically blessed, find some print out labels you can purchase online. Here’s a few of our favorite storage container label looks!
