household items inside a piece of furniture? Ottomans and benches with lift-up seats reveal an innovative and convenient way to store your extra stuff.

3) Cart With Drawers. These are particularly handy for just about anything; plus they have wheels for easy transport all around the house. You can purchase one of these made out of plastic or fabric with a metal frame. You'll use them in the office, garage, basement, craft room, play room, kids room, or anywhere else in the home and wheel them around to where you're working.

2) Space Bags. Place your off-season clothing into these handy plastic bags, seal the bag, and watch it shrink into a rock-hard slab as you suck the air out of it with your vacuum cleaner. Store these bags in attics, closets, basements, garages, or anywhere else in your home. The bags are resistant to mold, dirt, and dust, so your clothes will be perfectly preserved. Tip: you can also use Space Bags to store dining room tablecloths, napkins, runners, blankets, pillows, and placemats.

1) Rectangular Rubbermaid Plastic Boxes. If you watch those PBS home improvement shows on Saturday morning, they swear by these things. And it's true; these handy plastic boxes hold a variety of things including clothing, shoes, tools, paints, art and office supplies, sports equipment, and more. Slide boxes under beds, stack in closets, or place in garage, attic, or basement.

Organizing your household doesn't have to be difficult or overly time-consuming. With the right organizational approach, you'll be glad you took the time to make your home a little less cluttered.
