Turn Clutter Into Storage and Decor Solutions
By Joyce Bautista
These three key steps will get you on your way to
making order in your home using basic everyday items.
1. Contain - Enough storage space is, of course,
the Holy Grail of any household. But solutions to the problem are probably
littering your closets and cupboards right now. Use monochromatic boxes, wooden
crates, berry baskets, and empty jars to stash anything from mementos to old
files, paper clips to dried spices.
2. Repeat - Transform stray containers or collectibles into a
decorative tableau by clustering like objects. Consistency produces a neater
look than a random assembly does―and while one or two may look arbitrary, a group
looks like art.
3. Repurpose - Although your lidless sugar bowl and your wobbly chair no
longer serve their original purposes, they're far from useless. You can eke a
second life out of idle treasures by assigning them new functions―and,
in so doing, add style to the surfaces they grace.
