While convenient, these spaces can become incredibly cluttered if left unchecked.
Trust us, we get it.
Dont forget to get rid of or relocate things you have multiples of.
Only Keep Whats Useful
You dont need to keep everything in your junk drawer.
“Any items that are unused or no longer necessary should be either tossed or re-homed.
“Once you’ve categorized everything, consider which items are best suited for another location.
For example, screws, screwdrivers, and masking tape could all live in the garage or basement.
Rearrange Using Drawer Organizers
Mahanna likes to use drawer organizers to keep your junk drawers tidy.
While she likes an inexpensive set from Amazon, there are lots of options out there.
Mahanna tells me it’s best to keep the number of junk drawers in your home down to one.
For example, moving that measuring tape to your toolbox.
When it comes to junk, remember that less is more.
