A PLACE for EVERYTHING
Color-code kids’ books.
Little ones thrive with order, so an attractive display of sorted reading material is brilliant for their space. “Kids will remember the color of their favorite book and where to return it to,” says Pamela Meluskey, cofounder and principal organizer at Settled.
Transform an unused coat closet into a deluxe pantry.
Put empty space to use by carving out a luxurious cupboard that makes assembling meals and snacks a breeze. The trick: Aim to balance storage bins with acrylic organizers. Put baking essentials and cereal in airtight containers and snacks such as chips in large labeled baskets.
“The kitchen is used every day, but can fall to the bottom of our list of organizing priorities. If nothing else, try to keep countertops free of food items, small appliances and general clutter.”
—Jeni Aron, professional organizer
