Wooden Storage Box Organizing Tips

A wooden storage box is a helpful organization tool. When I recently downsized to a smaller apartment, I found one closet at my disposal. As a result, I searched for free-standing organizers that would allow me to give everything a place.

A wooden storage box, however, usually contains no dividers, shelves, drawers, or compartments. If you toss multiple small items into a wooden storage box, you may not aid your organization; instead you may only move the mess from one location to another. If you want to get the most out of your wooden storage box, try some of the following organizing tips:

• Stow only large items in the wooden storage box, things such as blankets or chair cushions.


• If you want to use the wooden storage box for small items, divide them into several categories. Box these up in smaller bins or containers and then stack these inside the wooden storage box.


• When you have finished using an item, return it to its designated place.


• Don’t overstuff the wooden storage box. If everything you want to store doesn’t fit, get rid of items or buy another storage box.


• Put the less frequently used items on the bottom of the wood storage box. Place the items you use often near the top of the box.
