One of the biggest problems in our homes isn't necessarily that we have too much stuff - although that is a problem, too - but rather, not everything has a home. So we're left with a bunch of random items laying around: on our countertops, on the floor, strewn about on the furniture... pretty much anywhere but put away. And that's not because we are trying to be messy, it's just because we don't know where to put the stuff.

I know I'm guilty of this; my problem is with paperwork, vitamin & supplement bottles, and shoes. And part of it is that I'm afraid if certain things are out of sight, then they will be consequently out of mind, which totally doesn't need to be the case. And now that I'm currently living in a small space, making sure everything has a place is more important than ever, which has led me to search for the best storage picks from Amazon to get your home in order.

So, away we go!

1. Get your mudroom in order

I went from having a large mudroom with shoe cubbies, closets, coat hooks, and shelves to having a small entryway that doesn't even have a coat closet (even my tiny New York apartment had a coat closet!). So whatever you entryway looks like, you need to keep it in order, and in my opinion, the biggest problem is usually shoes, so here are a few options for every type of space.

I like how this hides the shoes.

Similar to what I am currently using, very versatile.

Nothing fancy but only $20 and does the job!

Comes in 4 colors, 4.5 stars with 3k reviews!

2. Get your office in order

Your office storage situation is going to depend largely on how you use your office, obviously. If you work from home full-time, you may need a different setup than someone who uses their office only on occasion. You may share a home office space, or you may have young children and in that case you need different storage solutions. But no matter how you use your office, your storage needs should pretty much fall into the same categories. So here are a few ideas!

Pretty sure I had this when I was a teacher, but great solution for papers, and I love that there is vertical storage too.

If you have desk drawers, you MUST have these drawer organizers!

Since I currently don't have a home office and work at my kitchen table, I am ordering this right now!

I like that this is bamboo and not acrylic/plastic.

A good option for a small shelf if you have the space.

3. Get your kitchen in order
   

I could probably make close to a hundred recommendations for the kitchen, but I'll try to stick to the basics here: pantry, fridge, cabinet, and drawer storage. But for even more recommendations, check out this blog.

FOR THE PANTRY:

I own & love. If you have the space, I highly recommend these. If you don't have the space, go for a smaller version.

These are great for smaller pantry items, like granola bars, lollipops, etc.

Love that these are glass - I'm trying to ditch all plastic food storage!

FOR THE FRIDGE:

My top fridge hack. I can't stand it when things are hidden, so this solves the problem perfectly!

These containers are perfect for food storage - fresh or leftovers!

CABNETS & DRAWERS:

These dividers are a MUST for your large utensil drawer.

I had this organizer in my last townhouse and it's a great way to store pans and lids.

Same type of organizer as above, but works better if you have taller, more narrow cabinets.

These shelves are a great way to use that vertical space under your sink.

4. Get your bathrooms in order

Bathrooms are a top contender for one of the messiest potential spots in your home. Between the toiletries, linens, and cleaning products, you likely have lots of items in your bathroom that need organization.

I love that these clear drawers have storage on the top as well.

These little jars are a great solution for Q-tips, cotton balls, etc.

If you're short on drawer/cabinet space, go for this option to keep all your stuff neat & organized.

Keep all your small items organized in those drawers!

5. Get your basement in order

Your basement, attic, or garage definitely takes the brunt of all your extra junk and stuff, so this is one place that should definitely be in order. Check out this blog for lots of tips on garage organization, which also apply to your basement or attic - wherever your storage space is located.

I can't believe the price on this shelving unit!

My favorite storage bins.

These remind me of IKEA bags, but I love that they are more square and zip.

I like these for smaller items, as an alternative to the clear bins with lids.
