Nearly everyone struggles to keep their homes clean and tidy. No matter how often you clean or organize, you'll still end up with cluttered cupboards, drawers, or living spaces.

Instead of dumping everything into one giant cupboard or drawer, here are clever tricks that can make your life tidier.

And the best thing, none of them require spending hundreds of dollars at the container store!

#1 Use Bungee Cords to Secure Paper Towel Rolls

All you need is two bungee cords, and you've got yourself a nifty paper towel storage solution!

#2 Use a Paper Organizer for Lids

This is a creative way to take advantage of the back of the cupboard door!

You can also set up tension rods vertically to help keep plates, frying pans, and other items.

A rotating tray for your fridge isn't something you'll conveniently have on hand, but it's definitely a cool item to buy for your kitchen!
