Our 7 Favorite Universal Products
Something we get asked all the time - like almost every day all the time - is if we could recommend one universal product that really puts every kind of space to work, what would it be? It’s kind of a tricky question because every room or area in a home we organize has unique needs, but if we HAD to choose, of course we couldn’t go with just one product. We were, however, able to narrow it down to seven! We’ve linked each item for you below, as well as listed a few ways we’d recommend putting that product to work!
1. Divided and Flat Turntables
Under sink - Great for cleaning supplies and frequently used items you need easy access to.
Spices and oils - Clear off your counters and put all your oils, spices, spreads, etc. in a cabinet. Turntables are extremely practical for cabinets and keep items out of the dead space deep in the back.
Medicine - Create a wellness area in your kitchen for easy to grab daily medications and vitamins. Divided turntables allow you to divide by use or family member.
Under bathroom - Your hair spray or dry shampoo will never get lost in the back again! You can also stack them to maximize vertical space if need be.
Playroom - This will help to contain markers, crayons etc. and make them easy to grab for the kiddos!
2. Deep Pantry Bin
