Free Standing Shoe Racks

For those that are moving into a new apartment, it is smart to be prepared for organization. Sure, when you left your old place you parted with a lot of excess stuff and you are living lean. But all it takes is a few months of settling into a new apartment without an organization plan, and suddenly you are wallowing in a pile of laundry, shoes, and knick-knacks.

There are a few things someone moving into a new apartment can do to be organized from the get go. Just adding a few organizational items can make a huge difference in the appearance and order of a home.
The first place you should plan to organize when moving into a new home is the entryway. Usually when we come home, we plop the mail on the first flat surface we find. After a few days of this, the pile becomes huge, bills are lost or thrown away, and you end up getting the cable shut off. Instead, use a mail organizer on a small end table to give your entryway an organized touch.

Floor to Ceiling Shoe Rack – 36 Pairs

A second huge culprit in messing up a new apartment is the accumulation of shoes in the entryway or hall closet. As you live in an apartment, this can become a creeping problem – at first it’s just a few shoes, but slowly you find it more convenient to keep the slippers in the hall… then it’s the sandals… then your dress shoes. Instead of allowing this creeping clutter to occur, add a Floor to Ceiling Shoe Rack – 36 Pairs to the closet. A shoe rack like this is perfect because shoes are stored on separate levels, making it easy to find exactly the shoe you are looking for.

Another great storage idea is to get a two or three bin laundry hamper. Having your laundry pre-sorted will save you hours of frustration. Another great laundry organization idea for those that live in apartments without washers and dryers (and therefore have to carry laundry a distance) is to look into a laundry caddy. They are great because you can load all your laundry, soap and hangers onto one caddy.

There are many other organizational ideas for those moving into new apartments or homes, and they all will help make your home more livable. Though they may seem like menial things to do, they will definitely pay off in the long-run.
