As the warmer weather approaches, it’s time to think about effective storage and organization solutions and how those ideas work with your décor style. During our recent #decortrends chat, participants shared how to organize living spaces in the kitchen, bathroom, and throughout the home.
Our co-host @fabuwood cited creative organization ideas. “Also, (you can) expect storage space in places you wouldn’t expect.” Further, optimizing space or using it in a different manner can yield effective results. @fabuwood continued, “I think when you’re in a tight space, you begin to question what can I do to maximize this?”


On the topic of storage, @jorgensonlocker added, “Storage bins and trays are great. Vintage locker baskets are a fun way to organize.” Revashelf amped up this idea by mentioning, “Pots and pans last much longer if they’re properly stored and #organized.”
White, gray, blue and green cabinetry is especially trendy although color choice is often dictated by personal preference. Contrasting colors are often the homeowner’s choice as well. As @jorgensonlocker stated, “White cabinets are still trendy. Having the island a diff color than the rest of your cabinetry seems to be on trend, too.” Added @best_flooring, “White and off-white cabinets are making a comeback. They create a great, clean look for the kitchen.” @color911 shared, “Absolutely. The color defines the personality of every room!”

Other storage options blend functionality and beauty. @ncontours mentioned, “Floating shelves are up there (no pun intended!) Love making storage & organization part of the design!” Further, @jorgensonlocker said, “Storage can be an issue in a small kitchen. It’s fun to think outside of the box & use lockers (via @AptTherapy).”
