Jazz Up Your Junk Drawer:
With These Organizing Ideas
- Line your drawer with removable wallpaper. It wipes clean and comes in so many patterns!
-
Vary your container sizes. A mini tray is perfect for stamps and matches, while larger ones can corral oddly shaped gadgets like flashlights or keys. If you're always losing your glasses, make a rimmed tray their new home base.
-
Avoid crumpled receipts by laying them flat and securing them together with a binder clip.
-
A nest of tangled cords will make any drawer look messy. Corral them with Velcro cable ties and cord wraps.
-
If you keep spare keys in here, make sure you label them. Customized acrylic tags on each key ring will do the trick.
And These Genius Tools
-
A lint roller is key for quick touch-ups as you’re heading out the door. A retractable one takes up minimal space.
-
A label maker is an organizer’s best friend. A super compact model can be stored anywhere.
- Must-have supplies like a flashlight and glue are common residents of the junk drawer. A small multi-tool is also handy to stash here.
