Every home has at least one junk drawer, a place where pens, scissors, rubber bands, and other assorted materials get carelessly tossed together for lack of proper storage. Fortunately, there’s a way to keep your junk drawers from becoming black holes of clutter.

The premier cabinet specialists of Brincks Construction and Cabinet Company in Lawler, IA, recommend organizing these problem areas by constructing smaller sections within your drawers and cabinets. If you’re handy, you can build these section bins yourself, or you can hire a professional to do it for you.

Find your way to junk-free drawers by following these three simple steps:

Remove Everything

cabinetTake everything out of the drawer, using care to group similar items together. Once you’re done, make sure the contents are sorted into piles the way you’d like them to appear in the drawer.

Throw Stuff Away

If you find broken, duplicate, or unused items, put them in the trash where they belong. Purging your stash of unnecessary objects will keep your drawer from getting overcrowded.

Organize Your Items

Like pieces in a puzzle, section bins can be constructed to fit within the width and depth of any drawer. For example, a bin for holding pens can be long and narrow while several smaller ones can be filled with thumb tacks and rubber bands. Find a configuration that includes all your essential items and allows easy access to those you use most.

Once you follow these steps, your organized drawers will raise the efficiency of your daily tasks and lower the stress levels of arts and crafts with your little ones.
