You don't want a lot of wasted space in front or behind.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2- Ventilated shelves promote airflow around folded clothes, which cuts down on the possibility of mold, mildew, and pests.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3- Group like with like (jeans with jeans, etc.). Same-size items stack more neatly. Put clothes you use most in the center at eye level.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4- Don't stack higher than about a foot, and leave at least 6 inches between the top of the stack and the next shelf for easy reaching in.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5- Add drawers to collect smaller items. If you don't have drawers, use a basket or two. Position drawers below eye level so it's easy to peer in.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKo6Qu-sS_KoyAl7GZ_5Vd64qOv7VQGNwBFMG5Yw9J361XB3NrI0EvF32wPr0-MoMr8fDrLEZ5j-sqchMR_xi0O9-c4KBi__udRAZ71bX9nC5iglZJmBvsbuksiGA7zye8GgpgqflTLzxU/s1600/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKo6Qu-sS_KoyAl7GZ_5Vd64qOv7VQGNwBFMG5Yw9J361XB3NrI0EvF32wPr0-MoMr8fDrLEZ5j-sqchMR_xi0O9-c4KBi__udRAZ71bX9nC5iglZJmBvsbuksiGA7zye8GgpgqflTLzxU/s640/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Strategy: Hanging Clothes</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hanging up clothing inside a closet is an easy way to keep clothing organized, especially if you have a lot of dress clothes, suits, or dresses. Lorie Marrero, creator of The Clutter Diet online program, recommends these tips:</span></div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1- For the double-hang area, put the shortest clothes on the top rod and hang the bottom one as high as possible under them. Use space freed up near the floor for a shoe rack or storage bins.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2- Organize garments by category and separate with hanging labels; the more specific the categories the better. For example, subdivide your shirts into short- and long-sleeve, or casual and dressy. Bonus points: Organize by color within a category.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3- Keep shoes, purses, and jewelry in hanging organizers there are dozens on the market so you can see them alongside your clothes.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXU_psGFI5JXmERwAPSPY7o8_KsRuvCyep2HknA02nRrTlKUxp-KcOGqCe9Z89urYceuKE2gLpvsR9gfAYzb8MmozUBtH_J9Mf0aszeNMxcW7sNpODwGbQp4kdYkQ69JSZ6uOB6_ZgzNxc/s1600/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXU_psGFI5JXmERwAPSPY7o8_KsRuvCyep2HknA02nRrTlKUxp-KcOGqCe9Z89urYceuKE2gLpvsR9gfAYzb8MmozUBtH_J9Mf0aszeNMxcW7sNpODwGbQp4kdYkQ69JSZ6uOB6_ZgzNxc/s640/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Strategy: Storage for Shoes</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you love shoes and deciding how to store them is your main closet woe, try these tips from John Trosko, a professional organizer and co-author of The Experts’ Guide to Doing Things Faster.</span></div><em></em><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1- Slim shoes, such as flats and flip-flops, can be stored two to a cubby. Use spare slots for belts, scarves, and clutches.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2- Drawers give the closet a polished, built-in look, plus handy closet door storage for folded clothes. Bulky items like sweaters and purses can go on the open shelves.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3- Eke out another sliver of storage by putting a shallow basket on the shelf below the top row of hanging clothes. Use it for things that fold up small, such as tights, T’s, or socks</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRxODINImYsXr51kYxGlsLqfU_F3T1a9ikUtflgMAkyqCbI31dqNHj_i10NhwK1T6osbxHu6jezkn-XOt6-Y2qFK9Iq-8TlRCg_Hym3kQrsRHatRPqWajV0tMHPq78DLMxwSfzUTDrH6QL/s1600/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRxODINImYsXr51kYxGlsLqfU_F3T1a9ikUtflgMAkyqCbI31dqNHj_i10NhwK1T6osbxHu6jezkn-XOt6-Y2qFK9Iq-8TlRCg_Hym3kQrsRHatRPqWajV0tMHPq78DLMxwSfzUTDrH6QL/s640/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Planning: Clean Up & Clear Out</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Plan a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">closet</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> makeover by measuring your current closet to determine hanging requirements and storage needs.

The shelves themselves take up inches of precious storage space, and too many of them can make it difficult to stack or remove items. It's best to design shelves that will fit the various items you have to store.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA-c6KvcUSwrBMFPXF7dwcIW8YcUn82-kmQUe2oh8M3X-YhS9BgvYVPQpkovKTHNIqZvjt7GJJiSNhdrOu189-jnguCZf7fbwWNxyjbyr8EpyAeueplpnQHAZuK1t1FS_UN3Thj5pH2z4v/s1600/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA-c6KvcUSwrBMFPXF7dwcIW8YcUn82-kmQUe2oh8M3X-YhS9BgvYVPQpkovKTHNIqZvjt7GJJiSNhdrOu189-jnguCZf7fbwWNxyjbyr8EpyAeueplpnQHAZuK1t1FS_UN3Thj5pH2z4v/s640/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Planning: Shoe Solution</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If shoes flood your closet floor, develop a smart strategy for storing them.

Or simply reuse the original box and attach a picture of the shoes to the front of the box.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXpZj6RTHwE4S0r8Oaoa0Y_V-5TO9oMxi_kn5bp1WBs8zqWCIhjKrhowg4YokN-NvEJgBkMApGsdMzaaXiLmOBNmpy88ofGUXjDW6C78GJ3U16ntScTmFmvQwYsxxlsbEs2BQtSqbYCw0B/s1600/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXpZj6RTHwE4S0r8Oaoa0Y_V-5TO9oMxi_kn5bp1WBs8zqWCIhjKrhowg4YokN-NvEJgBkMApGsdMzaaXiLmOBNmpy88ofGUXjDW6C78GJ3U16ntScTmFmvQwYsxxlsbEs2BQtSqbYCw0B/s640/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Planning: Space Management</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If your bedroom is small, consider placing your dresser inside the closet.

Before installing slanted shelves, consider how many pairs of shoes you need to store and about what size they are. Ankle boots will need more height than flats. You might want to space the shelves differently, or decide on a set spacing based on the height of your tallest shoes. If you have a lot of tall boots, consider storing them elsewhere, such as beneath a hanging rod. Look for inserts that will help boot shafts stay upright at organizational stores.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM9ZJYpUiuvuChS-mFt5mNBybwNdHTFjY1U3b_9ntkbc3R40DXFDvKB1VjZimnQK0Oam_NfPJI6teHJrOnxXAscPBe28tp-bID3QHFgnoT0hkdG4aBnOeIjRGJH4BOY3bi9WJOjww1p2J7/s1600/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM9ZJYpUiuvuChS-mFt5mNBybwNdHTFjY1U3b_9ntkbc3R40DXFDvKB1VjZimnQK0Oam_NfPJI6teHJrOnxXAscPBe28tp-bID3QHFgnoT0hkdG4aBnOeIjRGJH4BOY3bi9WJOjww1p2J7/s640/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Features: Built-In Drawers</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Consider built-in drawers for storing sweaters, undergarments, and accessories. Shorter drawers might only store a stack of four T-shirts or two sweaters, which is beneficial because you don’t have to dig through a large stack to find what you’re looking for, but a series of shorter drawers might not offer the same amount of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">storage</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> space as larger, taller drawers.

Lamps can be used in a walk-in closet for extra illumination, which is beneficial for dressing areas. If your walk-in closet has a window, install a light-blocking window covering. That way, you can keep out the natural light when you’re not using the closet. Constant sunlight might cause some clothing to fade.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEish77vFDuNbm0HVkjurencPQuHhjRQqMGbZJbRCjPwyMaWgQ0619O6pxPIgC8TueVpncmpKowk4fr_qIK6KrwSpbcnHUVpLPyPCBFnxn07mWSoO2f-PnG25ozazmh-CmfyWN4TyNSiFrNx/s1600/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEish77vFDuNbm0HVkjurencPQuHhjRQqMGbZJbRCjPwyMaWgQ0619O6pxPIgC8TueVpncmpKowk4fr_qIK6KrwSpbcnHUVpLPyPCBFnxn07mWSoO2f-PnG25ozazmh-CmfyWN4TyNSiFrNx/s640/Easy-Organizing-Tips-for-Closets-2013-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Features: Double Bars for Kids</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For a narrow and short space, stair-step rods for kids’ clothing </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">storage</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.

Hang a cabinet horizontally and attach piano hinges to the doors so it can open to become a mini desk area. When not in use, the door can simply be closed to conceal the work area and maintain a sleek appearance.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZu1ScJOeOgY4CKYGtPW5cbFwf9sLK7ObxM2N4tibaqHcRb61VZEqWewT5nQJQyQQRD9CvWaI6s-xktzUE16czittj_Ze97FBxI1JWfI0ASBpzNapJ9vvNJxVokooJsBa27IHiJMaoDMFK/s1600/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZu1ScJOeOgY4CKYGtPW5cbFwf9sLK7ObxM2N4tibaqHcRb61VZEqWewT5nQJQyQQRD9CvWaI6s-xktzUE16czittj_Ze97FBxI1JWfI0ASBpzNapJ9vvNJxVokooJsBa27IHiJMaoDMFK/s640/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-6.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>A Place to Create</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your office space is used for creative endeavors, such as scrapbooking and crafting, incorporate storage around your work space and keep all supplies at your fingertips. This desk area has an abundance of drawers, plus at-your-fingertips supply cups along the back of the desk. Achieve this functionality by drilling large holes the size of silverware cups into a desktop, dropping the cups into the holes, and filling them with scissors, markers, and more.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzIYbp2MtWN3HVUGkCsEraSbGFVzLA66wS7iMkNZxjRIXvtYquIO-t1eEukbyz2VUdVs_rqTx_qnviBKza4hFYv8z9VtC113Dg7y0-w_sH6gXz6kP0FqQd621Uh7GWcYxvwB6JrUEG2QBu/s1600/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzIYbp2MtWN3HVUGkCsEraSbGFVzLA66wS7iMkNZxjRIXvtYquIO-t1eEukbyz2VUdVs_rqTx_qnviBKza4hFYv8z9VtC113Dg7y0-w_sH6gXz6kP0FqQd621Uh7GWcYxvwB6JrUEG2QBu/s640/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-5.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Collaborative Space</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you need an office for more than one person? Use a dining table as a desk and place it perpendicular to a wall so several people can sit at the table at once. This table bumps up against a wall of built-ins, which add storage. A large bookcase also works wonders for an office setup like this.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXCafIKflGFYuteuaxBQHq2NIX4ReUXO0QpQ1er_dfwq9tLcgkLmykKSiI-LG4fLf94e3JqtsA9IT1wdDZxj5xbDNm5HaFwr2dolQY92bj02cFzaMPywJS4xTItAr5L4R8H3huhWg94gqD/s1600/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXCafIKflGFYuteuaxBQHq2NIX4ReUXO0QpQ1er_dfwq9tLcgkLmykKSiI-LG4fLf94e3JqtsA9IT1wdDZxj5xbDNm5HaFwr2dolQY92bj02cFzaMPywJS4xTItAr5L4R8H3huhWg94gqD/s640/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-4.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Office with a View</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bump a desk up against a window with a deep window sill and use the sill as an improvised shelf for baskets and boxes. Plus, placing a desk near a window provides plenty of natural light.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCpBu1JZpFK6lxj1GBAy96BqiFgHPlj5qOJJ698ybT_8_-PeLMBgIZWrcpBTxqnJGWzhjW7RDpFNHxScdmhN6BbJJJ1Ky6SHlPaGi_zb2UTbs7HgyDLQS76KQLU4fCFssnmvuHmZbF9sW_/s1600/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCpBu1JZpFK6lxj1GBAy96BqiFgHPlj5qOJJ698ybT_8_-PeLMBgIZWrcpBTxqnJGWzhjW7RDpFNHxScdmhN6BbJJJ1Ky6SHlPaGi_zb2UTbs7HgyDLQS76KQLU4fCFssnmvuHmZbF9sW_/s640/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-3.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Smarter Office Storage</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a small space, take office storage to the walls to keep work surfaces clutter-free. In this space, cubbies were mounted to the wall and magazine holders were screwed into the bottom of the cubbies for an innovative mail sorter. For an easy and affordable work surface, transform a slab door into a desktop by mounting it to a wall and placing bookcases or file cabinets beneath it for support.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3QUFolceVM7hBUH4FlHwCWCr_Cy3hQ-NsvpfkD-3eoNad0lzoyBwDCSAo9g65eendvu7Y10ElDQFKqeT8BnfJxufvnYi6HA93TfjFY0x5sYKaG9I1T6glYZirSvVskV_NXz8E3JAgq1b2/s1600/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3QUFolceVM7hBUH4FlHwCWCr_Cy3hQ-NsvpfkD-3eoNad0lzoyBwDCSAo9g65eendvu7Y10ElDQFKqeT8BnfJxufvnYi6HA93TfjFY0x5sYKaG9I1T6glYZirSvVskV_NXz8E3JAgq1b2/s640/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions-2.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Kitchen Office</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A small desk tucked into a kitchen is suited for many tasks, such as doing homework or jotting down a grocery list. Incorporate a few drawers and cubbies to maximize the space's storage capacity.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjABo-60tc5tlExV6m-_LfQX94k2lXHp_ZkrXdLpMft5IqplTLu9VA8E93RLqNoojRdy9bmdm_ZAOOwII9WYAvDv_j6Shvlh-nzvJ9hVV95xjvlNh6LzKtlLBh6-IR0yZxS0lNCMePZ3j_O/s1600/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjABo-60tc5tlExV6m-_LfQX94k2lXHp_ZkrXdLpMft5IqplTLu9VA8E93RLqNoojRdy9bmdm_ZAOOwII9WYAvDv_j6Shvlh-nzvJ9hVV95xjvlNh6LzKtlLBh6-IR0yZxS0lNCMePZ3j_O/s640/Modern-Home-Office-Storage-Organization-Solutions.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Perfect Office Setup</strong></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Create a corner office at home by zoning a section of a larger room (such as a living room or family room) as a work zone. Behind this desk, a large bookcase fulfills all the storage needs of this work area in one simple system. For more storage, hang floating shelves along the wall. When planning your home office, make sure there are adequate outlets nearby for computers, printers, and task lighting.</span></div></div>
