Pots and pans are such a pain to storage. Especially pans — they don’t fit in with the bowls because of their long handles, and they don’t fit in with the silverware because of their round part, and this whole thing makes you think twice about how badly you really want this omelet. But no more!
By putting up a tension rod in one of your kitchen cabinets you can have a simple rack for your cooking utensils. Just string a few S-shaped hooks on the rod and hang your pots and pans on them. Now you can make all the omelets you like.
Litter Box Cover
If you are a cat person, first of all, let us say we don't judge you. If you want to keep a minion of the underworld as a pet, that's totally your prerogative. Second of all, here's a nice tip to help you take better care of your beast's litter box.
Cats don't appreciate being looked at when they are doing their business, and you probably prefer to not look at their box if you can help it anyway. Turn the little box cabinet into a secret hutch for your cat by mounting a small rod with a small curtain and let Mittens do his thing in privet.
Tub Product Organizer
Whether you have a kid or you choose to act like one, your bathroom is a minefield of trip-and-fall hazards in the form of toys and other products. If you're not in the mood for falling in the shower and breaking a hip like a common assisted living resident, follow the orders below.
Mount a nice rod on your wall, string some plastic hooks on it and place small plastic baskets on the hooks. Now, stuff those baskets with whatever items you use in your daily scrub session.
DIY Bedskirt
We know what you're thinking — A bedskirt? What am I, an 18th-century noblewoman prepping her daughters for a debutante ball? But these are actually more functional than you might think, and you don't have to break your piggy bank to have one.
You can get some fabric and drape it over tension rods mounted in the inside bedframe. The new skirt will keep the dust from building up under your bed and turn the space there into storage space where you can put all those Amazon purchases you regret making.
Revamp Your Kitchen Window
You know what's more annoying than doing the dishes? Doing the dishes when you're facing the window and trying not to go blind from the sun attacking your retinas. You'd be happy to know you can avoid it by using just two rods and a piece of fabric.
Mount the rods over your window with one hanging higher and closer to the wall than the other. Then drape the fabric over them. Now you have a french coffee-shop window in the middle of your inner-city apartment and no sunbeams in your eyeballs.
