Your Drawers Will Thank You for Organizing Them
Everyone’s Advice
Some of the organizing advice seems a bit backward – decide what containers you need, buy them, then hope they fit.
I had to do the opposite; find containers that would fit my drawers, then, decide how to use them.
The Vaccum Made Me Do It
While I’ve used a jewelry armoire for decades, I decided I wanted to reduce the number of items touching the floor and creating a barrier for my robot vacuum’s endeavors.
That meant giving up precious drawer space for jewelry. I sacrificed an area that could hold either about 15 short sleeve shirts or 15 pairs of tights.
I shopped for several hours to find the perfect color, price, and size of stackable jewelry organizers. These from Velvet Trays from Diommell came in a set of four, and are sturdy and attractive. All four cost the same as a single tray from some other sellers!
Big Reduction
There’s something magical about laying out all your jewelry, remembering the great times when you wore each piece, and selecting which ones will continue to serve you.
You have several options for the pieces you eliminate; consign them, donate them, gift them, or rework them.
For instance; a couple of my really long necklaces now enjoy their second life as work id card holders!
Integration
To my surprise, the stackable jewelry organizers fit flawlessly in my drawers and worked perfectly.
I selected the open one for necklaces, the one for rings worked great for rings and earrings, the one with sections separated my brooches, and the last for bracelets.
Accessible and Attractive
Finally! Everything in order, organized, accessible and looking good. It’s now a pleasure to select my daily wear.
You will find when you arrange your folded items by color, they look even more organized.
Chaotic Mess?
Sort of… There really were dividers in these drawers, but they were overfilled and overflowing.
Everything had to come out and be tried on, then several items eliminated.
Divided Spaces
The drawer organizers with several pockets are amazing. While you think you will be able to store fewer items actually, they can store more.
Because they hold your items upright, you will find that the same number of items take up less area in your drawers.
Again, I spent hours and hours looking at drawer organizers. I contemplated material, colors, sizes, and you won’t believe how affordable this set of 12 Fabric Organizers from Tenabort is!
If you prefer the style without the “cells” for individual items, Diommell also offers a set of 12 Foldable Cloth Storage Boxes also for an extraordinarily good price.
Specific Function
The drawer right next to the bedroom door holds all my running and cycling items.
This is so I am continually inspired to exercise, and, because it’s the handiest spot from which to grab the last-minute items I need.
My next move probably will be to replace all the plastic organizers in my athletics drawer with this set of four organizers.
Furry Assistant
Jasper had to lend a paw when it came time to organize scarves. Turns out he’s a real scarf lover.
Organizing scarves by filing them like file folders in a cabinet works for me. I can see a bit of each and every one all at once and select easily.
When I’m ready to tackle this drawer again, the perfect solution will be a set of two 16-cell organizers. I’m so pleased you can purchase the divided organizers by themselves!
