If you have junk laying around that you never use, then it is best to get rid of it; out of sight out of mind.

Staying organized helps make your home appear nicer and not to mention, it will be a lot safer to walk around without tripping over excess clutter. The best way to store something without getting rid of it is to disguise it. Check out these cool DIY storage solutions to de-clutter your home space:
1. Wall Shelves
Wall shelves are a great way to organize while simultaneously adding aesthetic to your home by making an empty wall the focal point of the room. Anything can go on top of the shelves including picture frames, plants and books. It is a quick fix to your clutter problems. Installing shelves in your bathroom is also a great way to store towels and cleaning supplies. For an edgier look, create shelves in different shapes and sizes to complement your home.
