When it comes to creating a minimalist home, what you don’t see is as important as what you do; without the usual distractions, any remaining clutter will stick out like a sore thumb. While it’s easy to admire Kim Kardashian’s minimalist palace from afar, in the real world, most of us need to keep some products in our bathrooms. However, don’t let that fact discourage you: after all, if Marie Kondo taught us anything, it’s that tidying up happens one step at a time — which is why, if you’re an aspiring minimalist, these 40 organizational products on Amazon can be truly life-changing.
Of course, you don’t have to be partial to a minimalist aesthetic in order to appreciate these finds. In fact, organization is key to nailing any style of decor, regardless of where you stand on the minimalist-maximalist spectrum. Thoughtful storage solutions make it easy to maintain an organized home, whether that means conquering your messy makeup collection or finding efficient ways to utilize your kitchen cabinets. Getting organized also gives you less to deal with on a day-to-day basis, and, since you’ll actually know what you have, you won’t accidentally buy the same products over and over again.
So go ahead, no more excuses — once you see how easy organization can be, you’ll find yourself wondering why you didn’t tackle it sooner.
