19 Brilliant Ways to Organize a Basement

Ideas for Basement Organizing

Set spaces for each type of object

Choose a part of the basement for each thing you want to store here. If you just dump it all, you won’t be able to find anything later.

Make it warm and waterproof

Convert this into a warm, dry room. This will keep your belongings in better condition and make it a pleasure to spend time here.

Store anything that's out of season

Turn this into a space for Christmas decorations, summer clothes, and everything else that is seasonal. Set a part of the room for each season.

Remove unwanted items once a year

Don’t let the clutter build up as you forget about things down here. Consider removing anything that hasn't been used during the year.

Leave the floor space empty

Use walls and under the stairs for storage purposes. Leaving the floor clear keeps it tidy and means you can use the basement for other things.
