Kitchens

• Place items from the drawers and cupboards into a large box. When making meals, pull needed items from the box. Put these items back into the drawers or cupboards once they have been used. After a month or so, whatever is left in the box gets donated to charity.
  
  

Bedrooms

• Fill shallow plastic storage bins with books, photo albums and old tax documents, and then place them under the bed.
  
  

Bathrooms

• Invest in an over-the-toilet cabinet, either wall-mounted or free-standing. Place personal hygiene items and cosmetics inside. If space allows, also use this space for towels and washcloths.
  
  

Family Rooms

• Organize DVDs, books and toys in storage bins that can be placed inside an armoire or on a large shelving unit. Find a coffee table with built-in storage and place extra bedding and pillows inside.
  
  

Garage

• Build wall shelves or install cupboards for things like holiday decor, camping gear and gardening supplies.
