30 Amazingly Thrifty & Easy Organization Hacks

I’ve always considered myself to be a fairly organized person, but as we head into a new year, I want to step it up a little bit. I’ve realized that more organization = less stress, so I’ve set the goal to buckle down and fix up some of the spaces in my home that have been bugging me, namely the kitchen and office.

I put out a call to some of my talented blogger friends for their very best organization hacks and have assembled a collection of 30 awesome organization hacks for all areas of your life and home! The best part…all of these DIY tutorials can be done very inexpensively or even free!

Read on to see all of their great ideas and get inspired!

Kids Room & Toy Organization Hacks

I’ve included affiliate links for your convenience; disclosure policy available here.

I actually learned this trick from a food truck storage building! Hang a simple pegboard on the wall and attach plastic baskets with cable ties. Love this!!

Kids rooms are notoriously messy, so I gathered as many amazing tips as I could find:

Little Bins for Little Hands has a clever way to keep track of all those little LEGO pieces…sort them and keep them in a tool box! Not only are there compartments for different kinds of pieces, but the lid snaps on to prevent spills.

Preschool Toolkit puts extra markers, scissors, etc. in a popsicle mold! It’s perfect for craft tables and homework stations!

Mama Smiles uses simple shoe racks from Costco to store toys in the kids room or playroom. There’s a box for everything and every box has a place on the shelf! Toys are contained, yet easy for kids to get to and they can see them all!

Moms & Crafters shows a trick to expand the pockets of a hanging shoe rack so they can hold kids books. So clever and a thrifty solution when you don’t have bookshelves or want to keep a favorite few books at hand.

Closet Organization Hacks

I love this trick from The Typical Mom to organize the linen closet! Instead of just stuffing everything in the closet, you fold and place an entire sheet set inside one pillow case. That way you know you have everything you need in one place to make the bed!

Those shoe racks are SO handy! Busy Kids Happy Mom uses a hanging shoe rack to organize the hall closet and extra winter gear. Each pocket holds gloves, scarves, etc. neatly, but they’re also still easily accessible.

Kitchen Organization Hacks

My dishwashing gloves kept falling in the sink and getting wet, so I did this simple hack to keep them nearby, dry, and out of sight. Double-sided tape and clothespins on the inside of a cabinet door is the secret…super thrifty and easy to assemble! Read more kitchen hacks here!

Bathroom Organization Hacks

Every Star is Different uses a Montessori approach to organize a kids bathroom, with individual shelves for each child’s toiletries. I love how kids can reach everything, but it still looks very tidy!

To keep things organized in our bathroom drawers, I bought some cheap baskets. They fit perfectly inside the drawers! Read more about how to organize your bathroom cabinets for under $10 here!
