· Clutter
Mate: Whether
it’s a sibling or a roommate, create a powerful alley in your clutter mate. It
will keep you honest to the rules put in place from the onset of the school
year. Papers strewn about the floor or piles of clothes on furniture – create a
do’s and don’ts of clutter in your communal space and hold each other to
keeping the clutter at a minimum. It’s also a rather cute way to tell your kids
to clean their room.
· Valet
Storage Service: Truly
affordable concierge storage services, such as Box Butler, enable the
space starved and seasonally challenged to claim more space while having access
to your things at the push of a button. And finding one that does not store
your things in a third party warehouse means you can be sure your treasured
items stay safe for years to come or your textbooks keep their value when
storing them for next semester. Your items will be treated just as they are at
home.
· Cubist
Movement: The
cubby hole is a genius creation. So take a cue from pre-school and bring the
concept into kids’ rooms. Cube storage, which can
be combined to create a variety of configurations, helps contain clutter and
works great with fabric drawers too!
· Greatest
Hits Box: Create
one box dedicated to all your/your child’s projects, crafts, papers. That
macaroni necklace to the art history term paper printed on velvet for affect –
it all goes here. And at the end of each semester or school year that box gets
sifted through for the greatest hits. Those stay. The rest gets recycled
and reused.
· Nice
Drawers: Fabricdrawers
like these from ClosetMaid are
malleable to the content you put in them, easy to fold and store when not
using, and are great for book shelves or atop desks for an easy peak at their
contents. They even come in more than 20 colors and styles.
