Shoes 

Boxes and dust bags are the best ways to keep shoes organized, always pair them and can put it in one box with facing sideways. Also, don't forget to label the boxes to save searching.

Toys 

A house with kids always has toys scattered around. The easiest way to
manage is to have transparent bins with tags in every room. As the kids grow up, they should be encouraged to drop off their toys to the bins after they are done playing.

Make up and small jewelry products can be very risky with small kids at home. It is very important to store them properly.

Make Up 

It’s good to check the volume and expiry date of products periodically to get rid of the expired and used-up products. To keep all the make-up products organized, keep the daily use products separately in an easily accessible place, while the rest can be kept towards the back.

Small jewelry

Cute little hooks can be used to hang the jewelry on the back of the
vanity door to avoid detangling.
