It’s been a while since I last shared some home organization projects. I thought it would be fun to share with you 7 DIY home organization systems that are guaranteed to work. These are all inexpensive- yet effective- home organization ideas that I have implemented in our home for the last five years.

As I look around my kitchen – where I spend most of my time! – I realized that thanks to my DIY organization projects, things run smoothly. Even on those days when I feel rushed or fatigued. The same goes for any area of my home, where I have implemented any organization hack.

Project 5: inexpensive laundry room organization

This is another effective organization project I did in my home that was quick, easy, and very inexpensive. I used an assortment of baskets from the Dollar Tree and labeled them. Almost four years later, this system still works for us. I do, however, have plans to update them soon.

My makeup drawer was a hot mess, and since the day I organized it (and tossed a lot of old makeup! I have been able to keep it organized and clean. At least for months at a time. And re-organizing is a cinch. All thanks to the DIY boxes I made to make drop zones.
