Plastic Storage Totes
Hold off on your trip to the store for those ubiquitous plastic storage totes and bins. Why? Chances are you’ll get the wrong size, the wrong kind, or far more than you need, especially if you buy before actually going through your things.
“Rectangular storage bins don’t always work best in a particular space or room. Often times, other types of containers will work better. I like to use decorative baskets, cubes, or even pieces of furniture that include built-in storage,” notes professional organizer Lauren Mang.
