1. Store your Stuff the Smart Way
We are all guilty of having a messy bathroom. It's easy to forget to hang up your towels after a shower or to leave your makeup laying out on the sink all day. However, instead of randomly placing toiletries on your counter space or cramming them into a drawer, there is another way to clean up your bathroom. Simply grab an Over-the-Cabinet Hanging Storage Basket so you can always have a place to store your hairdryer, unused shampoo bottles, makeup, hair brushes - anything!
2. So Many Rings, So Little Counterspace
If you have too much jewelry and too little desk space, this hack is for you. Instead of putting your rings in a jewelry box, never to be seen again, you should try a chic organizer. The Black CVJD Series Velvet Ring Organizer allows you to get a good look at all of your rings so you can choose one that goes best with your outfit and mood. No longer will you have to fish through your jewelry box to find the one ring that you have in mind for tonight’s outfit. With this organizer, you’ll have your desk space back without having to opt for other childish and gaudy ring holders.
3. Use your Walls
After a long day of work, nothing feels better than changing into a comfy pair of pajamas and lounging around the house. But instead of throwing your jackets and cardigans on the end of your bed or in a pile on your floor, you can get this White on White 6 Hook Coat Rack. By installing a few of these coat hooks in your bedroom, it'll ensure that your favorite clothes aren't haphazardly thrown onto the floor after a long day at the office.
DIY-enthusiasts can also make use of these coat hooks by turning them into rustic, hanging storage spaces that are perfect for smaller items. To create this storage space, simply tie twine securely around a mason jar or cup and then loop the twine around the coat hooks. And there you have it - a simple and rustic way to get the clutter off your desk, while also adding a stylish element to the room.
4. Keep it Clean with a Cork Board
Believe it or not, but cork boards aren’t just for office spaces and college dorm rooms. You can put these to work and do some serious decluttering when it comes to organizing important documents, bills, and papers. Take the 26 Inch Wide Cork Board World Map, for example.

5. Turn Clutter into a Centerpiece
