(NC)-Organizing your home is a great way to de-clutter your space and your mind. While it can sometimes seem overwhelming, the storage options available today make getting organized easy, affordable and even stylish. To help you get started, the storage and organization team at Canadian Tire has the following solutions for common challenges:
Problem - Where to store out-of season clothing
Solution - Look for an under-the-bed organizer. They provide great storage space for bulky items, such as out of season clothing and blankets and can be easily tucked away. As a reminder, a good rule of thumb is to go through your clothing every year and any items that haven't been worn the previous year can be given away to a local charity.
Problem - Clutter in the living room such as newspapers, magazines and electronic items
Solution - Look for furniture with built in storage which will help you to maximize space. The Debbie Travis ottoman has side pockets, perfect for the remote control and television guide, while the leather and suede chairs have seats that lift up providing extra storage space for magazines and toys.
Problem - Not handy and concerned a storage organization system will require construction and tools
Solution - Look for organizational systems that do not require tools, like the extend-it closet system available at Canadian Tire. It has easy-to-use tension systems that can be installed without tools. This innovative system is also flexible and versatile so you move it from room-to-room.
Problem - Compromising your decorative style for storage solutions
Solution - Storage items don't need to be hidden away in boxes or basements. Recent trends towards wicker baskets, patterned boxes and other such items allow you to store items such as books, magazines and newspapers out in the open where they are easily accessible.
Problem - Finding a storage solution for holiday gift wrap and ribbons
Solution - Look for vertical storage containers made especially for this purpose that can accommodate the length of a standard roll of wrapping paper. Many of these units also have an accessory compartment to store ribbon, bows and any other small wrapping accessories.
