Using Vertical Space

Using an “organizer’s eye”, there is often space in a home, closet or office that is unused.  Vertical space can be a great asset for organization.

• Use a section off your kitchen as an office nook with calendar, bulletin board and wall pockets for information.
• Use a narrow bookshelf with baskets at your back door to keep all the last minute items you need.
• Use a mud room installation at your entry for backpacks and shoes.
• Use hanging canvas organizer in your closet with plastic bins to hold lingerie, pajamas, and socks.
• Use decorative hooks on a wall to hold hats.
• Use clear push pins near the bathroom mirror to hold jewelry.
• Use a wall pocket just inside your office door to hold unprocessed papers before cluttering your desk.
• Use a dry erase board to list projects at your office.
