Surfaces: countertops and desks

This storage isn’t really hidden from the eye. As a matter of fact, it’s quite out there. Maybe that’s exactly why it’s often forgotten and underutilized. Well, behold the power of a tray! Anywhere a tray could fit is the perfect space for additional storage.

And trust me, you can store virtually anything you desire, from corral spices, oils, and sprays all the way to utensils you use on a daily basis. You can also herd miscellaneous beauty products into small bowls and jars on a tray in the bathroom.

Moreover, organize your most-used office supplies on a tray in the corner of your desk. There you go: you have successfully organized your stuff and have everything within reach.

Furniture

Before, you could buy an ottoman, bench, or even a coffee table with some smart, discreet, and built-in storage. Well, these days, they even make bed frames, chairs, and tiny side tables with hidden storage. Even if it’s enough to fit your remote control in there, a win is a win. It’s less clutter on the table, and that’s what we’re aiming for.
