Our brains naturally want to look at the horizontal spaces we have available to us – drawers, floors, shelves, etc. Unfortunately, you will inevitably run out of room. You can’t always add more square footage to your house, but what if you took advantage of the space above you? Using the space you have, you can double (or even triple) your storage by implementing vertical solutions. These tips and tricks are especially beneficial for smaller spaces where every inch really counts, but vertical storage is useful in any size home.

These acrylic stackable drawers are a great option for places like under the sink. They can keep your washcloths, sponges, cosmetics, etc. nicely organized, leaving you with a beautifully decluttered cabinet. There are also tons of stackable drawer options you can use to organize your shoes, sweaters, and more!
Coffee mugs in the cabinet and cans on the pantry shelf leave a lot of wasted space above them. And, let’s face it, stacking mugs is just plain nerve-wracking! We think shelf risers should be in everyone’s home – but maybe we’re biased. These sleek Square Acrylic Risers are barely noticeable, but make a huge impact!
When all your spices, cans, or other small pantry items are all on the same level, it makes it impossible to read the labels and know what is what. However, when you utilize this 3-Tier Everything Organizer riser, it allows you to see all of your labels, access your items with ease, and makes your pantry beautiful in the process. Plus they have a cute little drawer for all your seasoning packets! Whoever thought of these really is a genius, aren’t they?
Rolling carts are an excellent way to organize craft supplies, kids’ toys, cleaning supplies, and other items that may be used in locations throughout the house. They make it so easy to put everything back where it belongs and then roll it away, out of sight.
A great way to store items vertically is to simply hang a few hooks on the wall. Command hooks are great for more than just hanging up pictures and other decor, they’re the perfect organizing solution for small spaces like this!
When we walked in to organize this craft room and saw a giant 10-foot long pegboard wall, we were in organizer heaven! This wall gave us endless possibilities, and we definitely had fun with it. But you don’t have to have an entire wall of peg board to be organized. The Container Store has a Peg-Board Tiered Cart Attachment that will level-up and double-up your vertical storage without taking up an entire room.
When trying to find any additional space, this highly valuable organizing real estate is often forgotten about – behind the door. But organizers never forget! We love the Elfa Over-the-Door Rack because it keeps items well-organized and easily accessible while utilizing a usually neglected space. Best of all, it can be customized to your ever-changing needs!
