10 Things You Never Thought to Store on the Back of Your Door
10 Things You Never Thought to Store on the Back of Your Door
You're missing out on a ton of hidden space!
A Spice Rack
Furiously digging for the curry powder as your stir fry burns in the pan is never fun. Hang a tidy solution on the pack of your pantry door so you're never caught without your favorite spice again.
A Wrapping Station
This technique allows you to see all of your patterns and ribbons at once (key for crafting the perfect present), and spreads supplies out, so they won't get crinkled in a box or a corner.
A Tool Box
Closets that house your water heater or other utility items, aren't great places for storing things like linens or food. Instead use this space as a hanging tool bench, which can take a rougher atmosphere.
Hair Accessories
We'll start by saying what everyone's thinking: Some little girl is very lucky. If you tend to lose track of your daughter's bows as soon as she yanks them off, an organizer on the back of her closet might the perfect solution.
The Family's Lunch Bags
Mornings can be tough, especially when you forget your kid's lunch (again!). A pantry door is a great place to hang them as a reminder — you'll see them often enough, but can still close the door to contain the clutter.
A Jewelry Holder
Tangled necklaces are the worst. Keep each bangle and chain separate (and safe) by hanging them from S-hooks on a towel rod on your bedroom door.
Your Makeup Stash
Finally, a place to keep the bazillion nail polishes and lip glosses you've collected over the years. Every day items can stay on your vanity, but colors you use less often find a better home on the back of your door.
Kids' Books
For times when your bookshelf just can't keep up with your collection, go to the back of your closet door. Inexpenisve spice racks were used to create this nifty storage system.
School Supplies
Don't let your kids take over your desk with their crayons and colored highlighters. Give them this hidden space all to themselves, instead.
All Your Extras
If you've ever bought toothpaste in bulk only to realize you have no where to store it, we feel your pain. But a few wire shelves can add enough space for 17 tubes of toothpaste (we counted!) and some shampoo and cleaning supplies to boot.
