Salt these little known home storage ideas into your decluttering plan when more space seems impossible to find, and you'll find space you didn't know you had.
Here are a 2 essential tips combined with 11 practically applied home storage ideas that will supercharge how you declutter and organize your home.

Planning
For every 1 hour you spend planning, you'll save 3 hours of organizing! [Source: National Association of Professional Organizers]
So before you begin buying storage containers, boxes, bins or baskets you'll want to make a plan of action. Your personal style preference, starting point and major clutter issues will control what types of storage you choose and even whether or not you will need some assistance.
What style matches your personality?
* If you work or think best when you can see more things, you'll want organizing tools that allow you to see articles and items at a glance and that are within easy reach. See-through storage containers or open shelving are examples. Danger for this personality inclination is the tendency to clutter by placing too many things out in the open on counters and shelves.
If you work or think better by keeping your space looking calm and tidy visually, you'll generally stack transparent bins that are labeled; group labeled file folders by color; and separate stuff into modular drawer organizers to keep things looking neat. Danger for this personality style is the inclination to clutter by stashing too many things away in too many containers.
*Where do you want to begin? Is this going to be a whole house project or is it just the garage that is out of control? What's bothering you the most? It's usually best to start small.
Organization: Needs
You've probably heard that organizing is simply a matter of a place for everything and everything in its place. But actually a lasting solution depends upon your style, as we said above, and your daily needs.
For example, do you depend on your laptop, charger and a mass of wires each day? Where and how you use your laptop will determine whether or not you can use cable organizers to bring order to mass of wires.
Or is your laundry room too small? If so, probably you'll need something like a portable utility cart you can roll in and out and store in your basement or elsewhere.
11 Home Storage Ideas Outside the Box
Storage containers, baskets and other box like devices are commonly discussed on the web, so let's look at some space-saving and home storage ideas that are a bit more outside the box. (pardon the pun)
*To bring a big smile to everyone, store family photos digitally, put them on your screen saver and have them rotate every 5 seconds.
*Paperless is another clutter busting home organizing idea; whenever possible set your bills and correspondence to come electronically. Surveys show we never see again 80% of the paper placed in file cabinets!
*Is your entertainment center taking up precious floor space? Have you considered mounting the television on the wall with a special bracket? You can even hang special storage for DVD players underneath.
*Group your clothing by length and you'll free up more floor space for shoe racks, etc. under the shorter hanging items.
*To maximize vertical shelf storage and to keep piles of sweaters, etc., from tumbling into one another, use shelf dividers.
*Are you out of pin-up space? Use the inside of various cabinet doors.
*A hanging rod near the washer and dryer makes hanging shirts a snap!
*Space beneath windows is an excellent choice for small bookshelves.
*Bill binders are a great way to organize your financial life: get a clear plastic pencil holder within a three ring binder for checkbook, stamps and envelopes.
*A paper shredder could be your best friend if paper clutter is an issue. Not only will it protect your personal information, it will also reduce reams of paper to a manageable level.
*Wall hanging newspaper racks do not take up a lot of space and can serve double duty for magazine storage as well.
