You might be missing the valuable bathroom stowage space right under your nose … or more specifically, right under your sink. Get more out of that under-sink space by creating order with plastic bins, baskets and drawers. Store toiletries, cleaning supplies and much more out of the way but close by.

If you can get your hands on a plain wooden ladder, you’ll have the simplest and most adaptable shoe storage imaginable. Just lean your ladder against an open wall in your closet or bedroom and hang your heels from the rungs. You can even dress it up by wrapping rungs in ribbon or twine.
