4 Dollar Store Hacks to Upgrade Small Rooms in a Day

Add more storage to any wall

This one is extremely useful if you do not have a lot of space in your rooms or even bathrooms and do not want to spend a fortune on a hanging cabinet with the exact dimensions you need. At the dollar store, you will be able to find some wicker baskets, and they are going to make some amazing shelves for your spaces!

They can easily be mounted on the walls, and they are sturdy enough due to the wicker to make for some amazing floating shelves. They work amazingly in the bathroom, where you can hang a few from the wall so that you do not clutter the sink, and they can also double as storage if you do not have enough space in your cabinet (if you even have any).

If you have a small second bathroom, this is a great solution to hang around some supplies so that if at any point someone uses it, you do not have to worry about the space missing anything.

It is also useful if you want to make the most of your wall space in the bedroom or close to your vanity or wardrobe if you do not have space to store everything!

If you find that you need to declutter and reorganize your kitchen but do not know where to start with the task, make sure you read all about the best kitchen cabinet organization tips in this article!

    Love the wall file. I had one at work , but never thought to use one at home. I already have a good system for bills, but need something to hold instructions on purchases and warranties and I think one of these would certainly work better than using up one of my kitchen drawers. Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

    I am an art teacher & use Dollar Tree bins (dishpans?) in my room all over the place—as turn-in boxes for finished work, my “grade boxes,” to “file” class sets of reference packets I’ve copied & to use for certain lessons….to label & use for substitute teacher’s materials for a lesson per period/per day…..to assemble lesson materials for special projects, to gather up used materials so I can file them later in my permanent files, to use as a dishpan to clean materials…to deposit all the crayons in so I can offer them on my rolling cart of materials to use…..any other media, too, like markers, colored pencils….the uses are almost endless in my position :). I also use them in my home as organizing bins to pull out from upper & lower cabinets. Do NOT ever have to “dig” to find something…just pull the bin out and find it right away. Done. Put the bin back in the cabinet ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love the idea for storage to organize freezer. Will make things much easier for my husband to find when I ask him to take something out of the freezer for me.

    Has anyone come up with handicap accessible storage bins in the freezer. Iโ€™m in a wheelchair so I thought great idea for freezer but I need handles on the bottom of bins.
