Essential vs. Extra: Organizing Supplies That Elevate Your Space
When it comes to organizing your home, not all supplies are created equal. Some tools are absolute game-changers for function and efficiency, while others add a touch of luxury that takes your space to the next level. At SORT + STORE, we believe in creating spaces that are both practical and beautiful. Here's how to decide what you really need and where you might want to splurge.
1. Bins & Baskets
Essential: Clear, stackable bins are a must for maximizing space and keeping items visible. Whether it's your pantry or your closet, seeing what you have at a glance prevents overbuying and keeps things tidy.
Extra: Custom acrylic bins with engraved labels are the ultimate luxury. They offer a sleek, high-end look that turns everyday storage into a design statement.
Pro Organizer Tip: Prioritize function first. Clear bins are practical, but if aesthetics matter, custom acrylic can add that wow factor.
2. Labels
Essential: Simple printed or handwritten labels make it easy to identify items. They keep everyone in the household on the same page and prevent confusion.
Extra: Custom vinyl or engraved labels offer a seamless, cohesive aesthetic that looks straight out of a magazine.
Pro Organizer Tip: Both options work! Essentials keep things organized, while custom labels add polish.
3. Drawer Organizers
Essential: Adjustable dividers help you maximize every inch of your drawers. They are versatile enough to fit utensils, office supplies, or makeup.
Extra: Custom-fitted acrylic inserts provide a flawless, built-in look. They offer a perfect fit and an elevated aesthetic.
Pro Organizer Tip: Adjustable organizers are ideal if you want flexibility, but if you love a custom, high-end feel, acrylic inserts are worth the investment.
4. Hangers
Essential: Matching velvet or slimline hangers create a streamlined look while maximizing space in your closet. They keep clothes from slipping and maintain uniformity.
Extra: High-end wooden hangers add a boutique feel to your closet. They are ideal for heavier items like coats or suits.
Pro Organizer Tip: Slimline hangers save space, but wooden hangers give your closet a polished, luxurious vibe.
5. Storage Containers
Essential: Stackable, airtight containers are perfect for food storage and general organization. They keep items fresh and easy to find.
Extra: Glass jars with bamboo lids offer a Pinterest-worthy pantry aesthetic. They provide function with a touch of style.
Pro Organizer Tip: Prioritize airtight containers for freshness. If you love the look of glass, add a few as a design feature.
When organizing your home, it's all about balance. Essentials provide the structure you need to stay organized, while a few high-end extras can make your space feel more personal and luxurious. At SORT + STORE, we help you find the perfect mix of both. Whether you're starting from scratch or upgrading your space, we can create custom solutions that fit your lifestyle.
