Organizing in a Small Space

Feb 22, 2012AT HOME

I don’t know about you, but I find it difficult to work in an unorganized cluttered space. In fact, I get so distracted by the disorganization that I tend to focus on that more than the task I have at hand.

My office closet at work was so bad, that the stuff inside was spilling into my work area, cluttering the floors with camera cases, microphones, tripods, etc. I needed to stop the madness!

In my office I have a very narrow closet with a vaulted ceiling. Last year when I moved into my office, I basically shoved all the extra office and video supplies into the closet. It’s been like that for over a year and it needs to change! Here is what it used to look like:

Terrible right?

Well that has changed thanks to some amazing new storage and organizers from Target. The brand of storage cubes I got was called itso. They each come with 4 clips so you can lock them one another either vertically or horizontally. I also purchased some storage drawers separately which fit perfectly into the cubes.

I also made some drawer dividers from cardboard and duct tape to separate different types of cables:

This is what my closet looks like now:

I’m so glad that it is finally organized! Now everything has it’s place, and I spend a fraction of the time looking for something, rather than digging through piles of stuff just to find one small thing.

Let me know what storage tips you have in the comments below. I’d love to hear from you!
