You don’t have to spend a fortune on storage containers. Recycle items around your home to store your smaller or larger items. For example, recycle baby food jars to hold buttons, washers, or small project items.

Use your bedroom to store items. A lot of things can be stored under your bed and will never be seen. Just slide the boxes, gift wrap, games, etc under the bed frame.

Store stuff in suitcases

Store items inside your luggage. Rather than having your luggage and travel bags empty, put items in them and use them as storage. You can also use clothes hampers as a way of storing stuffed toys or smaller games for children.

Buy furniture that also doubles as a storage space. Cabinets, chests, benches, and ottomans work great for serving more than one purpose. Even buying a sleeper sofa and chair can double as an extra bedroom for guests who stay over.

Organize your closet. Put suitcases, rarely worn items, and out-of-season clothes on upper shelves. Add hooks to the door for belts, ties or a shoe organizer.

Maximize your Bathroom space. Hang a mesh organizer over your shower to store shampoo, conditioners, soap and all other bath accessories. Use a storage rack behind the toilet to keep first aid kits, extra hand towels, etc.

Scout out good storage locations in your home. A lot of people like to use the space above their cars in the garage to hang things. You can also store a lot of items in your attic or under the stairway.
