    49 Ridiculously Clever Ways To Store Basically Anything And Everything

    Solve pretty much any storage problem.

    1. Decant pantry staples (rice, dry beans, chips, candy, cookies, etc) into airtight OXO pop containers because they keep pantry staples fresh for longer than the original packaging ever possibly could and they'll make everything easy to find — that's money + time saved.

    2. Stack skillets and pans on an organizer rack to make it simple to grab the exact one you need without pulling three other pans out along with it.

    3. Transform the inside (or end!) of one of your cabinet doors into an incredibly convenient ~seasoning station~ with these acrylic spice shelves.

    4. Or display your spices on a pull-down rack so all your go-to blends are always right at your fingertips.

    5. Tame your plastic container cabinet with the help of a storage drawer: it literally brings everything in the back corner forward, where you can actually reach it.

    6. Protect your knives from clanking up against each other (which ultimately just dulls them down) using a knife block specifically designed to organize drawers.

    7. And opt for a non-traditional silverware organizer because it takes up half the space of other organizers (but still fits the same amount of silverware!), so you can use the rest of the drawer to store so much more.

    The deep organizer, which has three main slots for forks, knives, and spoons — each slot stacked on the previous one — and two shallower half-slots for smaller utensils

    8. Extend the life of fruits and veggies with a produce saver that really does keep berries, bell peppers, spinach, lettuce, and more day-one fresh for nearly two weeks.

    9. And stretch the amount of time you have to use fresh basil, cilantro, parsley, thyme, dill, rosemary, and more with an herb keeper.

    10. Conceal your sponges, brushes, scrapers, and other miscellaneous dish-washing tools in a tip-out shelf made from those fake drawers right below your sink.

    11. Or simply organize them with a corner tray that lets excess water drain away, instead of puddling up on your kitchen counter.

    12. Maximize the vertical space in your dishes cabinet with an expanding shelf — you'll no longer have to pull down the stack of salad bowls just to get to the dinner plates.

    13. Stuff your reusable bags in one bag with a carabiner on it, so you can hook them both on your car and on your shopping cart.

    14. And if you still keep plastic bags around, corral them in a cute fabric holder that fits right over your pantry doorknob, or hangs neatly on a removable adhesive hook just inside a cabinet door.

    15. Transform your linen closet (or drawer) by storing each of your sheet sets in one of their pillowcases.

    16. Enlist some Space Bags to collapse pillows and bulky seasonal bedspreads / duvets so they take up only a fraction of your storage space.

    17. Don't have a spot under your sink for extra TP, or have a bathroom so big that you can't reach a new roll when you need it? This toilet paper canister protects new rolls from unruly splashes while still keeping them within arm's length of the toilet.

    18. Or if you're up for a bit of a splurge, opt for a tic-tac-toe storage shelf that doubles as wall art *and* a fun game you and your household can play together.

    19. Stash all your hair tools under your cabinet on a compact over-door holder that still leaves them super accessible.

    20. Grab another carabiner to lasso your hair ties so you can always find one when you need it, and repurpose a paperclip holder as a new home for all your bobby pins.

    21. File your entire nail polish collection away in a handled organizer that essentially lays all your color options out like a menu — you'll always be able to see exactly what you have.

    before: pile of nail polish and after: each polish has its own compartment in handled clear plastic case

    22. Sort through all the miscellaneous products that have slowly accumulated under your sink, then install a mesh drawer that's actually tall enough to hold most bottles.

    23. Capture bath toys in a mesh bag that hangs from a couple of suction cups, and everything will drip-dry overnight.

    44. A simple wall hook can cut the square footage hogged by your bikes in half, wherever you happen to store 'em.
