One Space to Organize with Many Possibilities

 “In order to unlock the full potential of a closet or room you must have the right key to unlock the door!" - Darlene Illig

A door can do many things, have you stopped to consider how it could help you become better organized? The one tip I share in almost every client home I enter is to use the door to improve efficiency and maximize space. 

Let’s talk about why the door is such a good space for organizing:

1. It is open storage which works really well for people who are visual and do not want things put away so that they forget about them. 
2. This is free space that was never allocated to anything else. 
3. Simple organizing accessories work, there is no need for a complicated system to be used.
