The only space I have is in a cupboard stored vertically, but they're clumsily leaned against one another other.

UPDATE: Thank you for the suggestions everybody! I ended up finding a metal thing, almost like a file organizer, from value village for $2 that worked perfectly.

I buy a few kilos of dog biscuits at a time and at the moment we keep them in the bag in the garage, and decant enough for a week into a plastic kitchen tub. I’m worried about rats attacking what’s in the garage, so I suspect I want some kind of hard plastic tub, but I’m concerned about it being too big and awkward to easily get out the week’s food. Has anyone else got this solved?

Ikea HULTARP rods (lemmy.world)

Ikea's HULTARP rods and hooks can let you store things outside of the kitchen too.

I came up with this solution to stick long, but flat and lightweight, items on the wall in a bathroom.

Edit: note that Ikea has two sizes of HULTRAP hooks, so you might want to get a pack of each while figuring out what works best for your items.

Gallon Ziplocs with folded over cardstock sheets for labels, also keeps them rigid so bags of cables that aren't full don't get buried. I have two bins, one with common stuff in my office and the other stays in the basement with all the weird cables.

Does anyone have suggestions for storing fruit (apples, bananas, oranges, avocados, and garlic 🤷) that works better than a fruit basket?

I find fruit falls to the bottom of my fruit basket, and starts turning gross. It's easy to miss because it's under a layer of other fruit.

I made this about a year ago and it's one of my favorite creations. Even though I made a mistake in measuring the bottom and had to cut out some slots. One day I'll print it again, but it used a ton of filament and took forever last time.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself and say thank you so much for joining this community. Huge thanks to Chinchillax@lemm.ee for inspiring the creation as well. We've hit almost 1000 subs in under 24 hours and I'm so excited to see this community grow. I'm loving all the discussion so far and hope it keeps going.

Most of my personal content will probably be 3D printed stuff as that's one of my favorite things to do is find ways to improve and organize my home with prints, but I also like finding ideas online. I'm all about efficiency and making things easier for myself. Please share your ideas and setups as well. What we do need is more posts. I will do my best to add what I can so this community can grow. If you have any ideas of things to help, please feel free to shoot me a DM or post as well. I strive to be as transparent as I can as a mod and love to get community input often. This community is for you guys and I want you to be involved and enjoy it as much as possible. So please let me know what you want to see here and take part as much as you can!

Thank you so much again and I'll see you in the discussions!

Canthidium

I have since bought more of the glass bottles b/c I had some more spices to add.

They are all labeled on the top.

I wish I had taken a before picture. Both of these shelves used to be full of crumpled plastic bags. Now all the bags are in tight t-shirt style folded squares in a leftover tissue box.

This was one of the most insane recommendation Marie Kondo made in one of her books, and I was horrified even hearing the suggestion. But now that I've tried folding all my plastic bags, the space saved is really nice. Though now I feel like a crazy person, lol.

Finally got around to printing a bunch of lid holders and got everything nice and neat. Some missing because they are in use. Also you can see my printed spice rack.
