We love finding simple tidy solutions to organizing dilemmas within our home. Sometimes a simple, inexpensive item can make a big difference! We’re sharing 16 practical, simple tidy solutions we use in our home. And they’re at price points of under $30, under $20, and under $10!
Packing Cubes (5-pack): We have 2 packs of these, and use them to organize our suitcases when traveling!
Rolling 3-Tier Metal Cart: We have 3 of these, and have repurposed them over the years for baby items, kid books, toys, toiletries, snacks, and getting-out-the-door items.
Mini 3-Drawer Organizer (2-pack): We use one of these small organizers for storing art supplies like crayons, and another for sunglasses in our entryway cabinet.
Row of 6 Wall Hooks: We installed a low row of wall hooks near our front door so our daughters can access and hang their own jackets and backpacks.
Cozy Minimalist Home: More Style, Less Stuff: This book helped encourage us to decorate the rooms in our home using very purposeful design decisions, focused on the people, priorities, and purpose of our space.
Under-Shelf Basket (2-pack): We use these baskets as an easy way to add extra storage in our cabinets and pantry.
Over-the-Door Hooks (8-pack): We have these hooks hanging on the back of our bedroom, bathroom, and front door, as a place to hang towels, robes, jackets, or backpacks.
Adjustable Cabinet Rack: We use a rack like this to organize our baking trays, cutting boards, pans and lids.
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: This book by Marie Kondo helped keep us organized during the beginning of our home tidying journey, and walked us through tidying up our items by categories.
Kitchen Cabinet Shelf: We use these shelves to create an extra tier of organization within our kitchen cabinets.
Envelope Mail & Key Holder: We have this metal envelope holder on the wall in our entryway, and it gives us an easy place to drop mail and keys when we’re coming in the door.
Shoe Tray: We have 1 of these by the door in our apartment, and 3 by the door in our cottage. We have a “no shoes inside the house” policy, which helps keep the floors so much cleaner. This is especially important when you have babies or toddlers who crawl and play on the floor.
Small Wall Hooks (8-pack): We use these small wall hooks in so many places! We have them by the kitchen sink for hanging washcloths, inside kitchen cabinets for hanging oven mitts and pot holders, in the pantry for hanging reusable bags and a small broom/dustpan, by the back door for keys, in the playroom for purses, and on the back of the closet door for belts and robes. There are so many uses!
Lazy Susan Turntable: We use these in the kitchen cabinets for vinegars and oils, and in our pantry for cleaning supplies.
Spice Gripper Clips: We have these spice holder strips on the walls inside of a kitchen cabinet, and they can hold 30 spices!
Cabinet Organizer: We use these stair-step organizers to store our cans inside of our kitchen cabinets.

My wife and I live with our three young girls in a 700-square-foot apartment in New York City. I started Tidy Dad to help others tidy, simplify, and find joy in their lives. I firmly believe the tidying process can transform your life. I’d love for you to join me in exploring ways that tidying can make room for what’s important in life.

Hi, my name is Tyler Moore. My wife and I live with our three young daughters in a 700- square-foot apartment in New York City. I began my tidying journey when an early-30’s crisis invited me to reflect upon, challenge, and change my patterns of daily living. I quit my job as a school administrator, returned to teaching, and started Tidy Dad to help others tidy, simplify, and find joy in their lives. I firmly believe the tidying process can transform your life. I’d love for you to join me in exploring ways that tidying can make room for what’s important in life.
