Do you find yourself opening that junk drawer and saying “I really need to organize this!” Now is the time! Set aside 30 minutes this week to finally bring order to one of your messiest drawers using these tips from Zestful Design.
Edit First
Start by letting go of unused or broken items. Then evaluate if you have too many of one item, such as pens. Next weed out things that should go in a different location like hair bands or loose change.
Drawer Organizers
Once you know what will be going back in the drawer, find drawer dividers or inserts that will neatly contain the items. To save money, use items around your home like small gift boxes or cut down cereal boxes.
Like with Like
Create specific spots for each item and put “like with like”. This will make it easier to keep the drawer organized because everything will have its own place.
Label
Another tip to keeping the drawer organized is labeling each compartment. Put the label within the container making sure it will not get covered up by the item in the space.
This quick project will motivate you to move on to the next drawer in your kitchen or office. Keep the momentum going and all your drawers will be organized in no time!
