An organized home is essential for maintaining a smooth daily routine. A cluttered environment is difficult to dust and clean and prolonged exposure to dirty and dusty living conditions can even affect your health. When you live an organized life, you will have less stress, get chores done quicker and have more time to do what you love. Organizing your home might seem like a chore, but once you discover these five clever hacks, it will quickly transform your life.

A makeover for your makeup

Looking for a great way to organize your makeup? A votive holder, vase and even a mason jar are great places to store makeup brushes and razors and are aesthetically pleasing. Fill your container with coffee beans; it will help to keep those brushes upright in the holder. Hanging shoe organizers also make great makeup holders. Hang your organizer behind a door for a plethora of storage and easy access.

Coffee that goes the distance

Before you throw out your old coffee canisters, give them good a wash so that they can be used to store items at home. You can also upcycle your coffee can by painting it or covering it with wallpaper. Coffee cans are a great way to organize nuts, bolts and nails in the garage, store items on the bathroom counter and hold kitchen utensils. They can even be used store pens, pencils and rulers on a desk as well as personal belongings on a dresser.

Spray bottles suspended to perfection

Looking to keep the area underneath the sink organized? Keep spray bottles off the ground by installing a tension rod under the sink or in a cabinet. A tension rod can be purchased at a local curtain store and will allow you to grab what you need when you need it, rather than having to dig through unnecessary items.

Magazine holders you were sure you’d never use

A magazine holder can be used for more than just storing magazines; it is a great kitchen hack. Place a magazine holder on its side for an easy way to stack frying pans or store rolls of aluminum foil and plastic wrap. Cutting boards and baking trays can also be kept in one place using a holder, genius!

Refrigerator storage at its finest

There are many ways that you can organize a refrigerator for more access and space. Try placing condiments and other items on a Lazy Susan (a rotating stationary dish) to make items easier to locate and reach. Kitchen organizer bins can be used in a pantry, refrigerator, freezer or storage cabinet. This is a great way to keep items neatly separated and returned to its original location. Another great way to create more room and store additional items is by adding a bonus shelf inside the refrigerator (a cooling rack would work great too.) This tip allows for items to be placed underneath and on top providing more vertical storage inside the refrigerator.
