Are you baffled by the number of organizing product choices?

Not sure where to start? Follow these simple guidelines.

• pick a room or a closet and sort your stuff: edit out what you do not need and donate if in good condition
• designate a spot for your items: measure width, depth and height of your storage space
• will your items be visible or put away in a closet?
• location: pretty or practical? lids to stack? or no lids for accessibility/visibility
• go online and choose practical containers for hidden storage and pretty containers or baskets for visible storage
• put it all together and survey your organized space
