Winter is a great time to give your living area a fresh coat of paint, or even re-organizing the furniture arrangement can give a room new life. While re-arranging furniture, installing a new shelving unit or two a can also help change the room, and make old decorations seem new again.

Going through closets and getting rid of old clothing and other items can make any closet seem more organized, and then you can reward yourself by purchasing a few new items! While you are sorting you stuff, why not add more shelves or hooks to your closet? Adding organizational products from our Schulte Shelving line can help you keep your closet clean once and for all!

Unsure of what to do with the children's toys from Christmas that have yet to find a home in their bedroom? Get a solid wood Catskill chest that can be used as a good old fashioned toy box! Colorful kids lockers are also great for storing toys, and can brighten up your child's room.

Effectively Storing Seasonal Decor

2010-01-12T13:26:00.003-05:00

No one likes this time of year, when the dreaded chore of taking down holiday decorations must be done.

This year, putting your seasonal decor away properly, and in an organized manner will ease the stress of unpacking and repacking it in future years, making holiday decorating a much more enjoyable activity.

To pack your holiday decor most effectively, eliminate all those odd shaped cardboard boxes that your outdoor lights, and other bulky decorations came in. Instead, purchase plastic storage boxes. Our Akro Storage Boxes and Bins are a good choice. By using plastic boxes, many items can be placed in one box and labeled, so everyone knows which items belong where. Plastic boxes of the same size are easy to stack and arrange, making the most of your storage space. The use of plastic storage bins instead of cardboard boxes also protects the contents from water damage and other environmental hazards in storage areas.

Sort your items in an organized manner, such as all lights in the same box, all ornaments in one box, exc. You can also sort the decorations by room, for example, living room decor or foyer decor. Finally, label contents of each box and ensure you return the correct items to their proper box each year.

These techniques can be used to store seasonal decor from all holiday celebrations. You can even further your decoration organization by color coding your holiday storage boxes. For instance, store all your Christmas decor in red or green boxes, use orange boxes for Halloween decor, and perhaps purple or blue boxes for Easter.

When it comes to holiday decorating many of us are constantly looking for unique and different ways to change up our yearly display.

Sometimes we also discover new items to display that we purchased the previous year on clearance, and realize we do not have a spot for that adorable new Santa figurine that we just HAD to have!

One of the best ways to showcase your favorite holiday items, use different types of shelving! We often never have a place for that village that seems to grow in size each year, using one of our decorative shelving lines is an easy solution for village dilemmas. The customizable design of our decorative shelving allows you to create a one long shelf, or several shorter shelves to fit your collection!

Chrome Wire Shelving offers a way to tack on additional holiday lights to your display holiday lights. The ventilated design of chrome shelving allows for strings of lights to be wound through easily. Weaving garland through the vents would be just as easy!

Finally, for a special and decorative way to display Christmas figurines, snow globes and other holiday collectibles try utilized a Linon bookcase! Linon bookcases add a modern touch to any room throughout the year, and switching out your everyday items for holiday collectibles is easy!

This week is National Get Organized Week in America, and we at The Shelving Store couldn't be more excited- organization is our specialty after all!

Did you know that studies show that disorganization causes counter-productivity at home and in the workplace? Yes, it's true. Many people spend too much time locating items, documents and files instead of actually working on a project! Being organized has many benefits; you'll be able to complete tasks more quickly and efficiently, leaving you with more time to yourself to do things you enjoy and time to tackle other incomplete tasks.

This week, help yourself out and set aside some time to organize- you may feel like you don't have time, but it will save you tons of time in the long run! Even if you organized one closet, or file away one pile of old bills- clearing the clutter will make you feel like you've accomplished something. Any unwanted items you may discover while cleaning can always be donated, so you'll be helping others in the process too, and that's something everyone can feel good about! Plus, that positive attitude may even inspire you to organized more!

If you feel like tackling a bigger organization project, such as your kitchen or garage, let The Shelving Store help. We've got tons of organizational products, including new Catskill & Art of Storage Products, to help you get organized and stay organized! There's no time like the present, and no excuses to not get organized this week!

Custom Closet Storage

2009-09-21T09:02:00.010-04:00

Closets are one of the most difficult and most important spaces in your home to organize! Everyone can benefit from more closet space, and at The Shelving Store, custom closet organizing happens to be one of our specialties.

Last week a busy mom came into our showroom looking for a storage solution for her son's bedroom. He had a smaller bedroom, but a fairly large closet and she wanted to utilize the closet space to store his toys and clothes. She did not want to purchase an additional dresser or toy box that would take up valuable floor space. We hooked her up with one of our Schulte FreedomRail Systems!

She loved the shelves and hanging rods to hang up clothes, and the Schulte O-Boxes for toy storage. This closet storage system allowed all of the clothing and toys to be stored in the closet, leaving plenty of space for fun in his small bedroom!

The Shelving Store can help you create the custom closet of your dreams too with a huge selection of customizable shelving and organization products.

Organizing The Shelving Store

2009-09-10T09:02:00.002-04:00

We pride ourselves on being the home organizational experts, but we're also great at organizing work spaces too. It should be no surprise that we at The Shelving Store use our own products to keep our store, warehouse and offices organized!

One of our favorite products to use around the office is Chrome Wire Shelving- we use it everywhere! In our warehouse, we assembled a chrome wire shelving unit that serves as a storage area for extra printers and office supplies. We have built several chrome units that serve as computer desks as well. These shelving units are sturdy enough to handle the dust and dirt that can accumulate in our busy warehouse and the vented shelves simplify the cleaning process.

Many of our employees have built custom chrome wire shelving units to use near their desks as well. These custom shelving units are great for extra storage. Using the smaller units underneath their desks helps our employees securely store their personal belongings nearby while not taking up desk, drawer or floor space. Chrome wire document holders and utility baskets are great wire shelving add-ons our employees love to help keep papers and work organized.

More College Organizing Tips

2009-08-19T10:39:00.003-04:00

Since college orientation is right around the corner, as organization experts, we feel we must provide those college goers with more tips to help them stay organized throughout the school year!

In the last post regarding college organization, we suggested some of our products that we know will work with your dorm. Now that you have the products you need, it is important to remember these few tips to not overload those storage solutions with too much stuff, this will only result in more clutter!

When packing your bags, make sure you only take the essentials. Your space may be smaller than you anticipated, so try not bring too many clothes. If you find that you have more room once you get there, you can always go shopping or grab some extra items from home on your next break.

Make sure you devote one area to study. Keep all of your office supplies, textbooks and computer here. If you get up late one morning and need to grab your completed homework, it will make your life easier knowing exactly where it is!

Take advantage of vertical spaces- you may not have much horizontal space, but feel free to stack those shelves and boxes and bins to the ceiling to store your items. Having more floor space available will also make your space seem larger and more roomy.

Summer Organization Tips

2009-06-11T14:27:00.004-04:00

It is summer and that means that your living space will be expanding to include your front and back lawn. You will still have to clean up the living room, kitchen and bath, but now you can add the yard to the to-do list. Here are 5 summer organization tips that will help you spend less time cleaning up and more time relaxing in the sun.

1. The lawn-mower, weed whacker, and hedge trimmer are going to get used just about every week now that warm weather and sunshine are in the forecast. Having a designated place to keep them is key. A sleek and functional utility rack with hooks to hang things like rakes and brooms and other outdoor tools will help free space on the floor and make finding things a lot easier. If you’re a gardener, a small carrying case for your tools will be very handy and keep your tools clean.

2. Childrens toys can make your lawn look chaotic. Get a large storage bin with a lid for all the toys to go in once children are done playing with them. This will keep toys protected from rain and bugs. Make sure your kids know where it is and that all things must be put back once they are finished playing. Stackable bins are also a great idea, especially for keeping certain toys separate.

3. Lots of outdoor play can mean lots of indoor clean up. Be sure you have a large mat for wiping feet at each door entrance. A shoe tray can be helpful for the shoes that are soaked or caked with mud. Don’t forget that clothing can get just as dirty. Keeping a umbra crunch can near the door most often used is a great idea.

4. Summer usually means you now have two dining rooms, the one indoors and the one on the patio outside. If you have cushioned chairs and benches, having plastic bins to throw them in each night will be a big life saver especially if rain is expected.

5. Maintaining the Barbeque is something that many of us forget to do. Before the grilled season begins, make sure your grill is clean and ready. Spraying a no-heat oven cleaner inside and letting it set for a day will help soften the grime. Use a metal brush to scrape away the grease and food from the grill. A great way to prevent build-up on grills is to spray your grill with a non-stick skillet spray before heating.

So, Grab the family and get started preparing for another great summer. With these helpful tips your summer will be relaxing and worry free.

Not Enough Space?

2009-05-19T14:39:00.005-04:00

If you find yourself holding a random household item and asking yourself where can I put this? only to resort to cramming it into an already too full drawer or closet, then you are in desperate need of some organization.

One of the most stressful things in household clean-up is trying to figure out where things should go. If you feel like there are not enough surfaces or spots in your home for your knickknacks, books, toiletries, clothes etc. Then you are in need of an some organizational solutions.

Not enough space for decorative items?
Collectible items, art or picture frames can add up fast. Perhaps a decorative shelf would best display your most prized possessions. Try Zen shelving or Glass Art Shelving for a unique look. Even Chrome Wire Shelving can function great for those die hard collectors who need more space to show off their assortments.

Is your closet a hopeless case?
Many closets lack one thing, space! Using a Elfa Closet Storage Solution will eliminate closet clutter for good! Place lower shelving for shoes and shirts, and pull out wire storage bins for socks and scarfs. You will be amazed by how fun getting dressed will become.

Not enough space for work, school or business items?
Books and papers can make your home look like a cluttered nightmare. Thankfully you can have a clear work space in no time with an Elfa desk or perhaps some wall mounted shelves. Finally having a spot for pens and paper can really help you think clearer and work better!

Bathroom lacking sufficient cabinet space?
You may be looking for some functional and really amazing stackable bins. It is hard to keep toiletries organized and there never seems to be enough room. Increase the size of your sink cabinet with Akro nesting bins. With these bins, keeping bathroom cleaners separate from hair products and shaving cream separate from hairbrushes will be no problem at all.

Kitchen storage a big a problem?
Cooking can be a hassle if everything you need is behind something or stacked underneath five others things. Maybe a gliding drawer would be the answer to your prayers. No longer reaching to the back of the cupboard, but simply pulling out an mini-glider and having everything in your eyes view. If it is the pantry that needs more room, maybe a mounted door kit would be that extra space you have been looking for.

Getting organized is easy and fun especially with so many different choices. With new shelving and storage perhaps next time you are cleaning up house, you will not be asking yourself Where can I put this? but saying happily, What can I put here?.

Zen Shelving and Beech Craft Decorative Shelving both come in natural wood finishes, adding warmth and style to any room. These designs also come in tons of shapes and sizes, and can be mixed and matched to create unique displays and to meet your storage and decorating needs.

Finally, our Glass Line and Glass Art Shelving provide the same sleek and elegant designs as our Floating Glass Shelves, but with a little more pizazz. These new types of glass shelving are bent into various shapes to hold obscure items or add a unique modern touch to your walls.

All of our new decorative shelving is easy to install and will look great and keep you organized for years to come.

Keep Your Home Organized,

The Shelving Guy
