7. Store Christmas ornaments in egg cartons

When it comes to Christmas, you should always remember that there is never enough. Christmas is a special holiday for most people because it is the time of year when we tend to buy a lot of gifts as well as various ornaments for the house. And what do we do when we end up having too many? We need to store them properly.

In the case of small ornaments, they fit perfectly in egg cartons. They are pretty solid and keep all the ornaments separated without the risk of breaking. Consider this hack as one possible and affordable storage solution.

8. Sponge holders are the real deal!

Sponge holders are your friend in need, especially if you’re running low on space. With the help of a couple of suction cups, you can stick the holder to the wall to store all the toiletries you have. To store your skincare and beauty brushes, affix a second one to your vanity mirror.

This holder is very useful for creating more space in your fridge as well! Use it to collect takeout sauce packets in a handy and cool location.

9. Stack baking sheets for extra shelves in your fridge whenever you need them

Placing a baking sheet on top of a flat surface will solve your fridge space problem and save you from playing “Tetris” with casserole plates and pickle jars.
