Make the most of the closet near your front door by transforming it into an Everything Closet. By incorporating smart storage solutions for pet gear, cleaning supplies, paper goods, and other essentials, you can streamline your daily routine and save time. Organizing the space with designated compartments for different categories of items will help you easily see and access everything you need. A well-designed and visually appealing space is more likely to be maintained by its users.
Check out the storage ideas we implemented in our Everything Closet to get inspired for your own space. Customize your closet with shelving systems to create designated areas for various items and use labels to keep things organized. Consider adding a storage bench with a peg rail for hanging coats and bags, as well as utilizing the back of the doors for extra storage. Mix and match existing baskets and bins to organize cleaning supplies, paper goods, and other items, and use hooks and holders to keep cleaning tools easily accessible. Optimize bottom shelves for storing shoes and heavier items, while setting up a designated pet feeding zone in a convenient corner of the closet.
By implementing these storage solutions, you can efficiently organize and optimize your Everything Closet for a more functional and visually appealing space.

Customizing a toolbox can be a practical way to keep small items organized and easily accessible. Whether it’s a basic metal or plastic toolbox, you can create specific kits for various purposes. For instance, a Cleaning Kit can be assembled with items like cotton swabs, baking soda, rags, toothbrushes, and mini bottles of cleaners and stain removers stored in a silicone pouch and travel soap dish. A Sewing Kit can be tailored to fit threads and other sewing essentials, while an Art Kit can separate brushes, paint tubes, notepads, and larger supplies. Additionally, a Makeup Kit can be designed to neatly store polishes, serums, and cleansing items in each compartment, resembling a modern version of the classic Caboodle.
