Searching for the best storage organization ideas? Here are some of our favorite tips, tricks, and products to tidy up your home.

Living in an apartment the last few years I quickly realized that storage organization is a must. Small spaces mean less room to just throw things in an attic and call it a day. I really had to learn to be smart with my space and find efficient ways to organize all my stuff.

Not only did using these storage organization ideas give me a ton more room for my stuff, but it also made it so much easier to quickly find what I needed. Plus, who doesn’t love opening a closet or drawer and things looking insanely organized?

These storage organization ideas are the exact ones I used in my apartment to keep my things clean and tidy and my space has never looked and felt better. From easy organizing ideas to storage products that changed my life these are all the best storage organization ideas that I swear by.

In the process of decluttering, I found the need for junk removal services to dispose of items I no longer needed. This streamlined my living area, making room for essential items and enhancing the overall ambiance of my apartment. From clever organizing techniques to life-changing storage products, these strategies have truly transformed my living space, making it both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

PS. For almost all my storage organization ideas, I have an entire post dedicated to showing you exactly how I did so make sure to check those out as well! I will link those later on in this post.

PANTRY STORAGE ORGANIZATION IDEAS:

1. Use Baskets & Labels To Organize Your Pantry

Recreate this storage organization idea:

One of the best things I ever organized in my apartment was my pantry. It drove me absolutely crazy to open my pantry and have to search for the food I needed. Not to mention a ton of food ended up going to waste just because it was pushed towards the back and forgotten about.

To organize my pantry I bought a ton of large bins and labeled them (baking, snacks, drinks, etc.) This made everything so much easier to find and just look so much better overall. Opening my pantry is now an ~experience~ rather than an annoyance.

2. Lazy Susans Make Organizing Canned Food Easy

Recreate this storage organization idea:

Lazy Susans are one of the best organizing products ever. They can be used to organize so many things but they come in super handy in the pantry. Use a turntable like this one to organize canned foods and other pantry items. This will make finding what you need super easy because you won’t have to go searching through cans to find what you need.

GARAGE STORAGE ORGANIZATION IDEAS:

3. Budget-Friendly Garage Organization

Recreate this storage organization idea:

Definitely felt like a 40-year-old dad with how excited I got over organizing my garage but hey how can you not appreciate how insanely good this looks?

I was able to organize my entire garage for under $500 which is actually SO good compared to the price people pay for built-in shelving and other garage organization products.

It takes a little physical labor but all you need to organize your garage are metal shelving units like these ones from Amazon, lots and lots of bins, and if you’re feeling super ambitious, labels.

KITCHEN STORAGE ORGANIZATION IDEAS:

4. Fridge Organization

Recreate this storage organization idea:

When I was planning my fridge organization, I saw so many storage organization ideas I got pretty excited to organize and let’s say I went a little overboard. I will admit my fridge looked super good, but as I used it I realized it was kind of impractical. I labeled anything and everything in my fridge and it was filled to the brim with containers. What started out as a way to make my fridge more organized led to it becoming the least organized it’s ever been and extremely inefficient.

Now, I am not saying you shouldn’t use containers or labels – I use them to this day and love them. But they must be used in a healthy amount, and make sure not to go overboard like I did the first time! Now for what you should do. Use stackable containers to maximize vertical space in your fridge, keep the food you reach for most often in practical places, and organize according to how much food you need to keep in your fridge.

Well, now it’s time to face the task of organizing it.

You can find packs of plastic drawer organizers on Amazon and The Container Store for fairly cheap so this organization tip is a game-changer that you can also do on a budget.
