Pantry Tips
Tip #1: Mix Metals
Find a way to mix different metals in your pantry space to add warmth and dimension. The great thing about design right now is that it's all about mixing metallics. Think gold, silver, copper, and beyond. Don't be afraid to pair different textures and elements into the mix!
Tip #2: Search Various Departments for Storage Solutions
Often, we search a website's storage solutions based on a particular room. You may only sort through the “pantry storage” section instead of widening your search to different departments such as kids, baby, living, or bedroom. I highly recommend combing through the entire website to find options that might work in all areas of your home.
Tip #3: Invest in Versatile Pieces
Make sure you choose pieces that will stand the test of time, such as Crate and Barrel's Midway basket or one of the company's many plastic storage containers.
Closet Tips
Tip #1: Personalize Your Closet
No two closets are alike. Always customize your space to meet your needs and allow for storage of the things you love. Adjust shelves, add baskets, and be creative with your storage solutions.
Tip #2: Start from Scratch
If you can, remove everything from your closet to get a clear sense of the space. Take measurements to ensure the perfect fit for new baskets and bins. When you style and install these new elements, focus on filling them only with the things you use and love. Closet reorganization is the perfect time to let go and donate items!
Tip #3: Emphasize the Season Ahead
Make use of storage solutions to tuck away sweaters during summer and swimsuits during winter. Keep your most-used items close at hand and accessible!
