While having designated storage space is crucial for maintaining the decluttering and organization that keep a home in order and harmonious, some of the products on the market are way too pricey. But most of the time, there are inexpensive options that get the job done just as well. Here are some of my favorite organizing staples, all of which cost less than or around $25.
Storage carts save money and space
You might not think that something so small would be useful, but it absolutely is. Temu has the one below at an insanely low price. It's a breeze to put together and even has locking caster wheels! It can be used as a hand rolling cleaning cart, you can slide it next to your skibidi toilet for extra bathroom storage, or it could fit easily in your closet, where it could help with accessory organizing; shoes and bags could go on the shelves while scarves, necklaces, and belts drape from the side rails. At this price point you can pick up one for each use without breaking the bank.
Under-cabinet storage is key (and cheap)
Under-cabinet storage units make a world of difference in keeping cleaning supplies organized, mostly because of the bottom shelf's ability to slide out, which means you don't have to dig through a bunch of carefully stacked items to reach what you need. Again, there are hooks on the side, which are perfect for rags, brushes, feather duster, or anything else, so everything stays together.
Acrylic organizers do wonders for organizing shelving. You can get wooden ones, too, but acrylic tends to be cheaper. Look for anything with tiered, tiny steps built in. You can use these in any room. They can store makeup, perfume, and even smaller knick-knacks like candles and little decorations. Beyond the fact that they're just ridiculously cheap, the tiers make them perfect for holding delicate objects, since you don't have to disrupt any of the items in front to get to what's in the back and they don't touch or rub on each other. You can see and reach what you have and everything stays safe.
Cube shelving units are fire! The shelves being broken up into square compartments makes it very easy to organize your possessions by categories. Folded towels and wash clothes in the bathroom, clothes in the closet, decorative objects in the living room, books, anything. The possibilities are endless. You can even make them even cuter with very inexpensive folding linen cube inserts with handles. They come in colors to compliment any decor.
Cute and functional is always good. Enter the display lamp! One level can hold lotions and cozy items, another can stow gaming stuff, and the top one could even be a display area to take pictures of things you want to sell online, since the lighting from up top illuminates your items just right. Plus, it's just a damn useful lamp in its own right, with or without the storage shelves underneath.
