How much stuff is too much stuff? If you’re asking yourself this question, it’s probably time to invest in home storage. Placing your items in containers, closets, and boxes will optimize space in your home. You’ll feel better, too. The right storage solutions can declutter your mind. Here are five storage hacks that will organize your home.

1. Use Magazine Holders

You might have canceled that subscription to Harper’s Bazaar Arabia years ago and now read your news online rather than in a newspaper, but you probably still have a magazine holder or two at home. Use these items to store odds and ends that you don’t have space for anywhere else — things like stationery, receipts, and tools. Now you’ll know where you’ve kept that screwdriver!

2. Use the Space Under Your Bed

Space is at a premium in the UAE, but there’s probably still a little bit of room under your bed. Use this space to keep old clothes and toys that you don’t want to get rid of. These items will be out of sight and out of mind, but you’ll still have access to them.

3. Decorate Old Shoe Boxes

Don’t throw out old shoe boxes. You can wrap these items with decorative paper and use them to store socks and underpants. Keep your shiny new shoe boxes on top of a bedroom closet to free up space in drawers.

4. Keep Jewelry in Pill Boxes

Pill boxes are cute and compact enough to store all of your jewelry. You can keep necklaces, rings, and bracelets in each tiny compartment, which makes life so much easier when you are looking for something to wear.

5. Use a Self-Storage Unit

Sometimes, there’s just not enough space in your home. This is where a good self-storage unit comes in handy.
