When it comes to organization, tackling big projects can be completely overwhelming. The truth is, organization starts with the small things, like your storage spaces. When closets and drawers are organized, it’s easier to put things away and eliminate clutter. So let’s start small. Start with the drawers in your home. We’ve found some great drawer organization ideas that will inspire you to tidy up everything from the junk drawer to the utensil drawer.
Drawer Organization Ideas

How to Organize Every Drawer in Your Home
Don’t just use flatware organizers in your silverware drawer. They’re handy for organizing junk drawers and desk drawers, too.
Small bowls and baskets can help keep your nightstand tidy.
Label drawer sections, especially if you have kids that will be using the drawers, too. This helps everyone remember where everything should go.
