Magazine Files

When stashed vertically in a magazine rack (or four), clutches and wallets take up virtually zero space. Plus, like the spines of magazines, you can still see and grab every single one.

Paper Towel Holders

Wrap belts, bracelets or anything else vaguely circular around the center of a stand-up paper towel holder. Keep most-worn items near the top so they’re easy to access each morning.

Install a wall-hanging wine rack in the closet to catch clutches instead of vino. It looks great and keeps everything accessible.

In the summertime, bring your entryway coat rack into the closet to store handbags instead of jackets.

How do you stay organized on a budget?
