Everyone has blind spots in their home–you know, those darkened corners you’ve trained yourself to never see in order to avoid cleaning. You look away from the layers of dust, spider webs, and knots of old hair and focus on things that matter, like your warm bed and your computer, where you may have spent most of your time the last two months.
Unfortunately, nothing reminds you of those darkened corners like being confined to your home while the world falls apart and then slowly reassembles. You know where the dust bunnies live. You’ve seen the spiderwebs and feel the phantom tickle of the spiders that wove them on your skin. You’ve seen the carnage that lies under your bed.
You need room organizers to take back control! Three-tier shelves on wheels? A bamboo organizer? A drawer that actually closes! The life-changing power of putting your sh*t away can revitalize you just in time for summer. Here are some great picks to get you started:
Three-tier Utility Cart
Amazon
Isn’t she lo-vely! Isn’t she won-der-ful!
Why yes, a “heavy-duty mobile storage organizer with casters” is the perfect solution to those piles of mail on top of that book you’ll never read next to your dying house plant. For the office, kitchen, bathroom or bedroom, you need a mobile cart to store your crap (or your liquor in a stylish, on-the-go mini bar).
Adjustable Desk Organizer
Amazon
“But they’re just tiny shelves!” you cry in dismay. But no, they’re keys to freedom–freedom from a life of coffee-stained papers in disarray and losing coupons that you’ll never use but can’t throw away “just in case.”
These desk organizers are adjustable to fit any space and provide maximum storage capacity. Get them in white, black, or sleek white wood to make your desk look like you’re a professional who works from home rather than someone who needs to spread out in order to enjoy all your stress coloring books.
Storage Cubes
Amazon
Who can forget the classics? These simple storage cubes are everywhere, because they’re essential. With easy assembly and alternating open and closed backs, you can use them as bookshelves, drawers, display shelves, an empty installation art piece that reminds us all that we’ll never feel whole–get creative!
Mirror Cabinet
Amazon
Why would you ever bother owning a mirror if it didn’t open up to reveal your secrets?! But never fear–this full length mirror cabinet comes with a lock, so you can feel mysterious and coy even when all you’re hiding are your hair scrunchies and condoms.
Bamboo Corner Shelves
Amazon
Isn’t the lesson clear by now: The higher the better (in all things, frankly)! These natural bamboo shelves are reinforced with stainless steel to fit into those dark corners of your room that used to force you to turn away in shame. Instead, gaze proudly at your tiers of crap and take heart that–even if you have nothing else in the world–you’ve taken away a spider’s home.
