Staying organized -especially if you live in a small space- can be quite challenging. Even if you have plenty of closet space, organization is something you have to stay on top of. We’ve all been guilty of clothing pile-ups, unpacked suitcases, and drawers that look like a makeup apocalypse. Besides looking nice, organization makes you feel better. Studies show that an cluttered, disorganized environment leads to a cluttered, disorganized mind, so keeping your living space tidy is important for your overall well-being. Here are 10 DIY organization hacks that will help you tidy up those cluttered spaces!
