30 Of The Best Organizing Hacks From People Who Know What They’re Doing

Beautiful.

I have synesthesia as well, but I can hear light. (It gets really annoying)

A rainbow unicorn couldn't have done better.

I could never split up my Harry Potter set by colour, no matter how appealing this is LOL.

This is exactly the system I have always used. Can't remember the name or author but I know exactly what color the book is.

Looks gorgeous!

:O this is so perfect

But what happens when I want to get one? The whole thing will fall apart....

If I could do this to my bookshelf, I 100% would.

Very pretty! But I have a sneaking suspicion these books were bought for the color alone, and never read.

so pretty

Beautiful! Also very interesting! I also have synesthesia but mine doesn't work that way. I could probably pretty easily remember the color of the book after thinking about it for a minute, but it'd be harder to find. And I'd have to split up series!

Here's hoping those shelves are bolted to the wall.

That is unbelievably dumb, illogical and impractical. Only a woman could ever devise something so hairbrained. Or an effeminate man. You put long books on their side if they are too tall for that shelf. Yes it would be great if book producers were more standard but that will never happen. And all your bookshelves are the same height. They should all be height adjustable.

I did this to my bookshelf!

It wouldn't work for me, but it sure is beautiful!

Like a chromatically organized tetris

that makes my OCD confused

Swoon!

This only work if you have a treasure trove of book as mere decoration

I've often thought that second hand bookstores should stack books horizontally on shelves. A person can get a very sore neck trying to read all those titles in the vertical.

nope.

Good idea. Just need to learn how to fold the sheets so neatly first tho...

Hey! She won some space in the upper right!

Oh boy does this take ages. I spent hours doing this when I used to cross stitch.

This is brilliant.

Great idea. Though I’d have to keep the original colour of the hardware (rather than painting it to match the colour of the drawer) as it would confuse my eyes.

I use this sorting now, and there was sooo many cables that could be thrown out, because there was too many of a kind.

Great idea! Just need a pantry now.

Good use of space where you can’t put stuff on the floor.

Okay i gonna try this out! i already store my shirts folded like that, but when it gets empty, it also gets messy

There are a lot of reasons not to do this. Certain foods are better not store together. They will go bad faster. (Also don't put tomatoes this the fridge.) Its inefficient space wise.... but maybe it just works for this person.

That’s lovely! I will put something like this in my guest bedroom (already have an organiser thing in my kitchen).

Genius!

Ooh, I definitely need to remember this.

Wow, more impressive are the three types of boots in different colors

This is so cool

I use washi tape. It very rare to find that kind of "tags" in our contry now, because of reducing of plastic waste .

Oh dear, so many different cleaning agents?

This reminds me of the sheets of stick on earrings you'd get as kids (at least in the 90s and early 00s)

I do not want to know how the wall will look like after 6 months...

Lots of kitchens here in Spain have a drying rack above the sink in the cabinet. It's a similar idea to this but there is no bottom shelve underneath the rack so it can dry in the cupboard.

Or even better, you can buy rolling shelves made of stainless steel at the Container Store and mount them inside your cabinets. They're sturdy enough that if you move or redo your kitchen you can take them out and reuse them.

You can also do this with pens!

You just need to remember to move them from the "regular" shelf to the "eat me first" one before the expiration date!

Interesting idea, but my kinds of plastic bag rolls don't have a hole in them.

We use IKEA spice racks for this. Paint them bright colours, put a chair underneath and you have a great reading corner.

that might be annoying to get off tho..

No not with egg boxes they get skanky. Use an old ice cube tray and that way when a bottle leaks (as they’re prone to do) you can easily wash and reuse.

I do this. I have a shelf just for books that I have read and want to keep and a shelf for unread books. I donate the books that I have read and no longer want.

these are fantastic, I have 2
