In my laundry room we installed cabinets and I house my kitchen overflow in there. On top of the cabinets I have some cute baskets from Homegoods that have lids on them. I store all kinds of things in there like table clothes and party goods and some craft items. The baskets look really cute up there too. In the laundry room I also created space for my son's coats, hats and shoes. I put a set of hooks hanging on the wall behind the laundry room door for his coats. On the back of the door I have one of those mesh, over-the-door hanging shoe racks. I put his hats, mittens, shoes in there. I also added a mail center on the wall in the laundry room (which is right off my kitchen). I have a few racks that hang on the wall for bills, things to be filed, things to review, new magazines and a bulletin board/eraser board. It helps keep the paper clutter off my kitchen counter. Under our sinks in the bathrooms I bought those stacking plastic containers that open like drawers. I stacked them as high as they could go in the cabinet and use the vertical space. I have my brushes/combs, make up, extra soap, etc... in them. I also added some of these in my linen closet to hold smaller things...soap, shampoo, conditioner, sunblock, etc.... I also hung a cute white cabinet over the toilet in my last house to store TP and extra bathroom supplies. In my kitchen I take advantage of the top shelf which is hard to reach because I am only 5'3". I bought cute plastic baskets to put up there that I can just barely reach and grab to pull down. I store my baking supplies (chocolate chips, baking soda, vanilla, etc....) in one and all of my spices in the other. I just pull it out and put it on the counter and get what I need and slide it back up there. I also bought furniture with storage (I have a bench with cubbies in my FR housing a lot of my son's small toys/books).
