The rustic-chic style of Chip and Joanna Gaines has quickly taken over the decor world, especially when it comes to their unique and innovative approach to home organization. And if you are a solid devotee of Fixer Upper (which we are willing to bet you are), you have probably caught yourself wishing that this famous duo would make a personal house call to your place, too! While that might be a stretch for now, there are still ways to emulate the Gaines's signature organizational style. Read on for 16 of the very best ideas to keep your home in tip-top shape, inspired by Joanna herself!
Hanging Laundry Baskets
Steer clear of any clutter by hanging wire baskets above your laundry machines for plenty of product storage.
Glass Kitchen Canisters
Conveniently store your flour, sugar, coffee, and tea in attractive, easy-to-reach glass canisters.
Wooden Crates
Wooden crates are perfect for storing an array of household items, from blankets to clothing to your gorgeous fresh-cut flowers from the garden.
Galvanized Metal Shelving
Galvanized metal shelving is just the thing to keep your gardening shed tidy, your work files organized, or even to hold those extra DVDs you can't seem to get rid of just yet.
Storage Cubbies
Storage cubbies are the answer to an on-the-go mom's prayers! Having a quick place to store the kid's school supplies, sporting gear, and everything in between will help you to get in and out of the door that much quicker.
