These ideas will help you to fool people into thinking your small space is artsy & creative rather than cluttered and crazy! Read on for some decorative organization ideas:

If you can’t fit many furniture pieces in your bedroom, a bookshelf can be a lifesaver in terms of giving you abundant space. Store items like socks, T-shirts, and hair accessories in decorative boxes and file them away in your bookshelf. It not only looks great, it helps you keep track of everything!

    Great ideas! I know a few people who truly have too little storage/space (and I I’ll send them this article), but I know a lot more people who simply have too much stuff. As they move “up” to bigger and bigger houses, they acquire more stuff to “store” (store, rather than actually use). I think the Item In/Item Out rule is key to a truly organized life, whether you have 600 square feet or 6,000.

    I believe the term you are looking for in the photo with the mason jars is ‘shabby chic’, not ‘chabby chic’. It’s a pretty standard term in design.
