Find The Perfect Storage Container for Your Organizing Style.




In the world of professional organizing, one size certainly does not fit all. Different people have varying preferences and needs when it comes to storage solutions. At The Professional Owl, we understand that your organizing style is as unique as you are, and we're here to help you find the perfect storage containers that match your personality and lifestyle.


For those who tend to be "out of sight, out of mind" or have neurodivergent tendencies that make remembering what they have a challenge unless it's visible, clear plastic and acrylic containers are the ideal choice. These transparent options allow you to see the contents at a glance, eliminating the need to rummage through stacks of boxes or bins. And here's a tip: consider containers without lids to ensure that your items remain in plain sight, making it easier to remember what you have and where it's stored.


On the flip side, some people prefer a more hidden or natural look for their storage solutions. If you're someone who enjoys the tactile feel of baskets, bins, or bamboo containers and you like your things more hidden, you fall into the category of those who appreciate having their items within arm's reach. These options not only add a touch of warmth and style to your space but also allow for easy access to your belongings without the visual clutter. Lids and stacking aren't a problem for you, as long as you can quickly reach what you need.


Then, there are the extra-steppers, those who don't mind a little extra effort to access their items. They're perfectly fine with containers that have lids or require a bit of stacking. For this group, it's more about organization and a streamlined look than immediate accessibility. They understand that a few extra steps can lead to a more clutter-free and visually pleasing environment.


And let's not forget the "repurposers," the creative souls who thrive on mixing and matching storage solutions. Old cell phone boxes repurposed as drawer dividers? Absolutely! These individuals love thinking outside the box and creating unique storage systems that suit their needs perfectly.


Regardless of your organizing style, there are key principles that apply to everyone:


1. Keep it Simple: Be intentional about the items you store and their quantity. Avoid cluttering your space with unnecessary storage containers and excess stuff.

2. Label Everything: Labels serve as a visual guide not only for you but also for others who may share your space. They create boundaries and make it clear what belongs where.

3. Front Facing is Key: Ensure that your most used or important items are front and center. This approach not only helps you find what you need quickly but also maintains a visually pleasing and organized look.

4. Don't Overfill: Keep each area or container at around 60% full. This prevents overcrowding, making it easier to access and put away items.

Finding the right storage containers for your organizing style is a crucial step towards achieving a clutter-free and harmonious living or working space. The Professional Owl is here to guide you through the process, helping you create an organized haven that perfectly suits your needs and preferences. So, whether you're an "out of sight, out of mind" type, a natural material enthusiast, an extra-stepper, or a repurposer, we've got the solutions to make your space organized and beautiful.
