Synonymous with the bedroom, and perhaps disorganization, a chest of drawers doesn't need to be black hole. Chests usually come in 5, 6, or 7 drawer varieties, with either a single or a double top drawer and can be found throughout the house. Wherever your drawers are, whether the bedroom or the kitchen, they should be kept spic-and-span to maximize efficiency and avoid lost objects. This, however, is probably easier said than done. But a few quick tricks will keep your drawers free of unwanted clutter, and stocked full of the things you use most.
Bedroom Tips
Home to socks and underpants, pajamas and jeans, people often stick every which thing into their bedroom drawers. If it doesn't need to be hung in the closet, it probably can be found stuffed or mashed into the back of some drawer. This can lead to be bit of a mess. No worries, a few simple tricks will have you unstuffed in no time.
Kids Storage Chest
Once every season, empty your drawers to reorganize and reconsider what have; are you using all your white t's? Have some forgotten pajamas? Take the opportunity to purge and minimize, and keep your chest of drawers from excessive bulge. With seasonal clean-outs, you will be sure that each nook and cranny of this valuable piece of furniture is being used accordingly.
When thinking of where items should be placed in your chest, the most often used items should be the easiest to access. Items such as winter wares or workout clothes can be placed where bending or standing on tip-toes are required. Likewise, consider using the bottom drawer for excess baby clothes, or other items that don't get quite as much use.
Couples usually prefer a double top drawer, so as to divide at least that section evenly. If you have a single top-drawer, but share it with a partner, consider a drawer divider. For extra storage space, baskets can also top your chest and be used for socks or other small items that aren't too personal for display.
Kitchen Tips
Chest of drawers located in the kitchen are different beasts entirely; with items ranging from pens to rubber bands to forks to phone books, regular organization is key to keeping household items in check and easily accessed. Instead of keeping everything everywhere, choose organizational "helpers" based on your needs.
Cutlery trays are essential, to keep your forks from your knives and so on. Your excess ice cube trays can double for drawer organizers-easily housing paper clips, rubber bands, and other smaller items.
Entertain often? Consider tagging drawers to help your guests follow your organizational lead. Especially in areas often used during parties, tags could leave no confusion where things go.
If there is a primary chef in the house, they should have a voice in how the kitchen drawers are arranged, as they will be using them most often. Be sure the families understands the system and abides by it, for easy access to all your kitchen goodies.
The key to all organizing is to create systems that work for you and your family. If it isn't according to your logic, you probably won't use it. Also, like the ice tray, don't be afraid to organize with tools that are convenient, even if they are serving a purpose for which they weren't originally intended.
