The more a house is lived in, the more easily mess is generated. There are some rooms that seem to resist tidying, for example. However, things can go easier if we provide some kind of suitable storage for the different categories of object that we have piled up all over the place.

This is why shelves, drawers, containers and dividers of all sorts help us rationalize the space. And by using the space better translates into a series of advantages: we ca find everything more easily, we can clean up faster, and there's a little less stress in our day. And it doesn't always mean that you have to resort to getting sophisticated and made-to-measure furnishing accessories: sometimes you can also convert objects meant for another purpose in an intelligent way. Take a look, for example, at what you can do with office documents or magazine holders.

If you have two or three (or more) of the same model container, perhaps of some a material, you can stack them and make a small desk shelf unit, also useful to place on the furniture.

In the case of larger and more robust document holders - those made of plastic, wood or metal - you can also consider making them storage containers for something heavier, such as kitchen cutting boards. That way, they will no longer risk falling over!

In the bathroom, instead of have a mess of hair irons, hair dryers, brushes and beauty products on the shelves, put these items in magazine files to free up space.

If they are pretty and decorated, you can also leave the holders in plain sight holding objects such as those needed for manicures, or even materials used for creative activities.

There are those who make custom-made tables and bedside tables from them too!

They can become space-saving shelves to furnish the empty corners of the rooms in an original and useful way.

If you mount them inside wardrobe doors and they become storage pockets for any materials or accessory you need.

And you could also use them on the internal walls of furniture, to store laptops or other objects more securely.

The perforated metal types are ideal for keeping vegetables in order that shouldn't be put in the fridge, such as onions or potatoes.

Have you used any similar solutions at home before?
