Maximize Your Space

Think VERTICAL!  That is the 1st thing I look for when organizing a space.   This is so often the place we don't take advantage of.  You can pack away those out-of-season clothes and shoes, party decorations, wrapping and bows up high because they aren't things that need to be readily accessible.

Here's a look at my laundry room/mud room/craft room/wrapping room:

{Please forgive the semi unorganized mess on the shelves - they've been neglected through the holidays}

The BEST way to maximize your vertical space is shelving.  The unit on the right is from Target and they are my fave!  Well-priced, sturdy, and you can get either 3, 4, or 5 tiers.  Oh and they're 18" deep!   Get the tallest, deepest storage that your space affords you.

So the next time you find yourself saying "I'm out of space" just look UP!
