Stylish solutions that will turn every chaotic storage space into an ordered haven.

Now one side is a utility zone for tools, cleaning products, and ironing supplies; the other is a hall closet with jackets, bags, and gym gear. (Off-season coats were moved to a garment bag in the back of Margaret’s bedroom closet.) The upper shelves hold labeled storage boxes for rarely needed items, like photos and Christmas ornaments, along with mesh baskets for things Margaret “needs to see to remember that they exist.” Painting the shelves white gives areas definition. Easy-to-apply self-adhesive wallpaper makes the closet feel polished.

In an apartment, items like camping accessories, spare wine, and china (in quilted case) have no obvious home. One solution is to place them in the upper corner of an all-purpose closet. Bottles are within reach, and a nearby stepladder offers access to the higher shelves.
