• Many people struggle with organization and clutter in their homes. To remedy this, some have yard sales or donate many of their unused items to charity. However, if you've already tried that and still have no idea where to put the rest of your items, take a look at storage cubes. In addition to being versatile, storage cubes come in a variety of finishes and styles to complement most décors or to fit the required purpose. The best thing is that many of them are stackable.
  
  

Child's Room or Dorm Room

• A child's room or a dorm room can be the most difficult spaces to keep organized. Children often pay little attention to where things go, and dorm rooms are usually very small and shared with another person. Get a few storage cubes to solve this problem. Plastic cubes are lightweight, durable and come in a variety of colors to complement most rooms. Get your college student cubes in several neon colors so he can mix and match, or help your child pick out one color for his room.
  
  Also, look at the uses for different cubes. Some are open like bookshelves making them perfect for books and notebooks, movies and CDs. Others have drawers to store art supplies, tiny toys, printer paper, even shoes and sandals. Cubes with swinging doors are perfect for storing dorm room snacks. Stack the cubes around a window, at the end of a bed, or in several smaller configurations under the bed or on top of a dresser.
  
  

Kitchen

• Create your own pantry with storage cubes. Some cubes come in laminate wood finishes--including poplar and mahogany--while others come in solid black or white. Stack cubes against an unused wall or on top of existing low shelving. Set them up in a stair-step pattern and put vases of flowers and serving spoons on top. Inside cubes with drawers, store snacks, tea towels and plastic storage containers. Put spices, pasta, canned goods, flour and other dry ingredients inside cubes with doors; some come with shelving inside but for those that don't, purchase wire mesh shelving.
  
  Some cubes come with X-shaped shelves that create triangular storage spaces in them. Use these to store bottles of wine or other alcohol, olive oil, or even stack small bottles of beer or soda in them.
  
  

Closets

• Closets often end up being the place where people put items that they have no space for anywhere else. As a result, many closets are disaster areas. Wire mesh storage cubes can help solve this. The cubes fit in those wasted spaces beneath and behind hanging clothes, and can also be put up on closet shelves.
  
  Use these cubes to store seasonal clothing, beach towels, shoes, extra toiletries and small luggage. Put them in your linen closet to organize towels, medicine, cleaning supplies, makeup, cotton swabs and toilet tissue. Many of the wire mesh cubes come with sliding drawers and shelving just like the wooden and plastic varieties, enabling you to make the most of your space and see everything with little trouble.
