🧹 How to Declutter Fast with These 5 Storage Hacks

(Because Sometimes You Just Can’t Look at That Junk Drawer Anymore)

Let’s face it—decluttering sounds easy in theory. But when you're staring down a garage full of half-empty paint cans, tangled extension cords, and that random chair leg you swear you'll fix one day… it gets overwhelming, fast.

We’re not here to shame the mess (we’ve seen our own garage, remember?). We’re here to share 5 fast, no-fluff storage hacks to help you declutter quickly—and actually enjoy the space you're in again.

Let’s go. Deep breaths. We’ve got this.

💡 Hack 1: The “Keep, Donate, Bin” Blitz

Oldest trick in the book—but it works.

Set up three bins or boxes:
✔️ Keep – Stuff you use and love
📦 Donate – Stuff that’s in good nick but you don’t need
🗑️ Bin – Trash (you know the ones)

Put on some music, set a 30-minute timer, and go full Marie Kondo on that shelf, drawer, or corner.

✅ Pro tip: Don’t start with sentimental stuff. Declutter your “junk drawer” or tool shelf first for an easy win.

💡 Hack 2: Go Clear or Go Home

Visibility = sanity.

Clear storage bins mean you can see exactly what’s inside without digging through twelve identical boxes labelled “misc.”

Pair that with bold, visible labels and your future self will thank you.

🧺 Try our Clear Stackable Storage Bins for everything from art supplies to power cords. Neat, stackable, and satisfyingly see-through.

💡 Hack 3: Hooks Are Your Best Friend

You know what's better than tripping over a broom for the fourth time this week? Not tripping over it.

Use heavy-duty wall hooks to get stuff off the floor and onto the walls. Think: tools, sports gear, backpacks, garden hoses.

🛠️ Our Garage Wall Hook Set holds everything from power drills to scooters. Seriously strong. Surprisingly satisfying to install.

💡 Hack 4: Group It, Don’t Scatter It

Want to feel instantly more organised? Group like-items together.
Camping gear in one bin. Cleaning supplies in one caddy. Cables in one container (with labels please, not mystery tangles).

This gives everything a home—and makes finding it later not a mini treasure hunt.

🧠 Pro move: Use shelf dividers or drawer inserts so stuff doesn’t migrate and mingle.

💡 Hack 5: One Touch Rule (a.k.a. No “I’ll Just Put This Here for Now”)

If you pick something up—put it in its proper place right away.
Sounds small. Feels small. But it’s a total game-changer.

You don’t need to be perfect. Just be a bit more ruthless with the “don’t dump it, deal with it” mindset. Works wonders.
