With autumn blues kicking in and days getting shorter every week, most of us are spending more time wrapped in a blanket sipping on a hot chocolate. We also have more time on our hands to sort things out at home, from cupboards to bathroom drawers.
So in order to give us a little inspirational boost, we are taking a look at people’s organizing skills that would make Marie Kondo proud. From closet makeovers to DIY racks, to neat work stations and mall stands that shine bright in their perfect orderliness.
Thanks to this awesome Reddit community, we have a lot of great examples to entertain our inner neat freaks! Scroll down below and upvote your favorite ones as you go!

$100 In Cardboard Squares And 6+ Hours Of Folding And Destashing, I Have Finally Conquered My Fabric Mess

The worldwide pandemic has not just put a pause on our lives, it made us reevaluate our values and what we want from life as a whole. By spending more time in the comfort of our homes, we had a chance to sit back and reflect on the environment that we spend so much time in.
Many of us started wondering if we are truly happy with the way our home looks and whether we are satisfied with the way it makes us feel. The boom of renovations, remodeling, home DIY projects, and redesigns followed as we rolled up our sleeves and worked on the home projects we never thought we wanted or needed before.

Produce Stand

Must have a great Manager to allow them to bother with this level of organization. A lot of places are more about just trying to get products on the floor quickly and to the right places and trying to make things "look pretty" isn't considered "productive".

It's these stores with this much orderly displays that make me respect the tidiness more. I will go to the other end of the store when I've changed my mind on something. Just as well, even though I may not be the store's employee, if I see a shelf I badly want organized I'll do it. Idc. No, I don't want a job with them because I know I won't be hired to organize the shelves just so. I'll do it because I love to.

I Designed This Spice Rack Using Old Botanical Books And A 3D Printer!
Pamela Blue 3 years ago (edited)
Not a good way to store spices. In clear jars like that, they're going to fade in colour and lose their flavour within a couple of months. Either keep that rack inside a cupboard door in the dark, or change your jars to dark glass so they'll last longer. Having said that, however, it LOOKS beautiful! LOL!
Now that the pandemic is over, the tendency to better take care of ourselves and our homes is not going anywhere. Partly because, for many workers, their homes have also turned into their permanent offices. And partly because, after trying out working around the home, people realized how much fun it is.
Redditor Hansottowirtz is one of the people who eagerly took up a DIY project to organize his home. “I like cooking, 3D printing and foreign cuisines and tastes, so this seemed like a good opportunity to learn about all of those at once,” he told Bored Panda.
The result was this spice rack he designed using old botanical books and a 3D printer as shared on this Reddit community. Hansottowirtz said that the idea came after he felt that most spice racks he found online weren't special enough.

Not Sure If This Counts, But It Makes My Organization Loving Brain Happy

From the post: " I bought a Philips 6-Outlet Extender Surge Protector with USB so the surge protector wouldn’t have to be on the ground. Then I wound up any excess cord with Velcro (generic from Microcenter) and hung the loop on a Command hook attached to the back of the desk. It’s not perfect because the monitor has a heavy cube that is just sitting on the desk right now. But it works for now!"

It would make everyone happy. I broke my nose tripping over a computer cable once.
The first step of the process for Hansottowirtz was taking a very good look at the images. “I started with the botanical drawings from Wikipedia but quickly found out that there are many hard-to-find old botanical books with beautiful drawings. All the sources are listed on Github.”
Most of the hours were spent on searching the right plants in those books, then cutting them out using Photoshop and lastly, creating a label for them, the Redditor told us. “Next to that, I designed the rack in Fusion 360 and did many test prints before arriving at the current design.”

Pegboard Organisers For My Art Corner
Scout Finch 3 years ago
What a wonderful idea! I've got a wooden box for my paint, but it is HEAVY!
Although Hansottowirtz is very happy with the result he came up with, he agrees that there are multiple things that can be improved. “The fit of the jars on the rack is not very stable and the Ikea jars let UV light through, which degrades the spices faster,” he noted and added that the same jars “don't have a perfect seal.”
Moreover, “the printing quality of the labels isn't good enough as I printed them on the office printer. I'm looking into professional printing now and might start selling them on Etsy soon,” Hansottowirtz added.
Before Hansottowirtz designed this rack, he said that he didn't know a lot about spices. “I've learned so much while doing the research. If you don't know everything beforehand, try to learn things along the way, and you'll always enjoy the process better.”

That looks really pretty but there is a system as how merchandise is displayed. The stuff they want to sell goes eye level. Stuff dangerous to little kids goes up higher. Company sales people actually have to be aggressive just to get their product on the shelf in a retail store especially a grocery. Who gets more product etc is all a big battle. Who gets the end caps, who gets the products towards the ends of the isles. It's all a song and dance that means big bucks to those who get the best placement. And I doubt it has any connection to color organization. Color on the product however is highly researched to grab your attention. I worked retail all through college and part time when I substituted. Mostly as the manager.

I wish I could tell you that it's not going to look the same 2 years from now. If you work with people who throw things in, things will never be in neat little stacks.

These Eggs My GF Organized

If you ever consider marrying her, be sure to ask yourself "Can I live up to these standards?"

Ha, reminds me of the gray scale on the edges of a rotogravure print cylinder.

Her sister is coming to visit, so she stocked up some, even though she already had most of it. Just read the original thread on Reddit.

Opening the tooth picks and q-tips and cotton pads is not very hygeninc.

I Helped My Sister Organize Her Closet!
Judes 3 years ago
Why does she have so many empty hangers? Does she do laundry once a fortnight, or does she like wearing about ten different things all at once?
Pamela Blue 3 years ago
Well you don't throw out hangers just because you don't have anything to put on them. She just doesn't have a very large wardrobe. I know I don't. I could fit everything I wear into half that sized closet.

Homemade Jewlery Organizer Gives Me All The Sparks Of Joy!

I have a homemade rack like this for my tie clips/pins and cufflinks. Haven't had the time to put it back up since I moved, though.

You haven't had time? Why don't you put up the rack instead of looking at your phone?

Used to do this, but not all my jewelry is solid silver or gold. Air is the enemy of plated metal jewelry.

ok, that can't be the same room. the floor looks different, and it is too big. but the wallpaper is cool

The floor colouring could be simply the light at the time of day. Nice remodel though!

This is a first world solution to a first world problem. When your shelves cost more than your food, you might want to self-examine your value system.
Cydney Golden 3 years ago
Not really. If your shelves are organized you spend less on food bc you waste less buying only what you really need.

My Organized Pantry
Jaya 3 years ago
I can't relate to people using only half of their pantry space. You can keep so many different foods in there, it won't look as nice as this half empty pantry, but you'll have lots of food.
Albino 3 years ago
My pantry is tiny but I could live off it for weeks probably. It's not pretty yet still organised and there sure is not that much wasted space.

Finally Did It!!! Took Care Of This Area That May Have Been This Way Since We Moved In 3 Years Ago

That seems like just throwing everything out (or into a different cupboard/room), doesn't really fit in an article about organizing?

Throwing out and sorting is part of organizing.

I have an area soooooo similar to this. Shelf by the kitchen window, dishwasher to the left. To the right is where my back and basement doors are. So it becomes a holding area for stuff that belongs in the basement or garage "later", and shoes on the way in, boxes to go out, etc. I get used to looking at it so it sits there. I've finally organized mine too and my kitchen looks bigger lol!!

Normally, the word a n a l would get censored by BP. Now they're using it in a headline, and in a very bad way. "A**l people" aren't just people that are obsessed with order and organization. People who are in general very controlling (with their environment), who are sticklers, cheapskates, and very obstinate, are usually called a**l-retentive.

That means you are getting work done or at least working on something. I suspect some people with super clean and highly organized work areas don't do much.

Editors: Please change the spacing on this headline. Everything from "people" on is cut off on the front page making this look like a very different gallery.
Debbie 3 years ago
I wouldn't mind a different headline - how did "a**l" get in there? I'm not native English so maybe my understanding of the word in this context is wrong, but it is a negative description, close minded and annoying, unwilling to change people? Why use that description in this post that starts with "satisfying" - so it's positive?

Seems to me that a lot of this tidying involves a lot of throwing things out. Just putting things in boxes and drawers doesn't make it any smaller. Like, where did all the pillows go in #48?

Hey, this letter is to you. You know the you that has had a pretty rough week, the you who seems to be under constant storm clouds. The you that feels invisible. The you that always blames yourself for everything that goes wrong. this letter is to you. You are incredible. You make this wolrd a little bit more wonderful.. You have so much potential and so many things left for you to discover. you have so much time to do everything you love. Better things are coming Your way, so please just hang in there. You can do it. take a step back. You are human. You are beautiful. You are so beautiful. And you can be anything. You can be everything. Do not hate yourself because someone broke your heart, or your best friend betrayed you or someone called you ugly or fat or stupid or worthless. Don't concern yourself in things you cannot control. cry when you need to and let go when it's time.
