It's amazing how many outdoor things you accumulate as a home owner. It's start slowly, just a few things you need in order to maintain the outdoors, then there's outdoor entertainment, seating, cleaning, gardening, and before you know it you own a 10x10 tent just in case!

What happens when you have all these items and no where to put them? You get creative.

My favorite way to get creative with storage is to have duel purpose items. Like a side table that duels as a storage bin!

Or bench seating that you can store all your pillows and cushions in the winter.

The garage can get cluttered pretty quickly, so using generic baskets and buckets in different sizes can help you keep things organized as your transition through your needs.

If you are someone who has outdoor parties often, finding something versatile like crates can be used as storage or seating!

Contain Yourself (and the necessary clutter in your home with these clever storage ideas)

FREE IMAGES While spring cleaning has yet to begun at my house, and likely won't this year with my wedding in May (yikes!), I thought I'd share with you some fun ideas to contain the chaos you'd like to keep in a way that doesn't affect your home decor.

Matching baskets are fantastic! Especially ones with label options to help you remember what you have stored inside. It keeps this bookcase clutter free but makes it possible to not have to store a ton of things behind closed doors.

Picking similar styles, all see through containers at the bottom and baskets at the top make this cabinet look so well organized. Clear canisters also help remind me if I'm running low on something.  I also love the pop of color with the labels.

Not everything is going to fit in the same size containers and if keeping everything matching is too much of a commitment for you, you can mix it up a bit and it still look great. Just try and use similar sizes and shapes to create a cohesive look.

I love the mix of three colors here. Using pops of color is great but I love how this one is minimized to two color options and scattered throughout the storage.
