Summer-Fun Central! CLUTTER — CURED

By organizing your gear in one grab-and-go spot, you’ll spend less time searching for essentials and more time enjoying the sunshine!

1. MAXIMIZE STORAGE

A kitchen pot rack works wonders in the basement or garage. The space saver provides a wide shelf for large items like coolers, plus hooks for lightweight things like swim goggles.

OUR PICK: Old Dutch Mounted Pot Rack, $60, amazon.com

2. CORRAL SMALL ITEMS

You’ll never have to search for those little sunnyday must-haves such as sunscreen, aloe and water bottles again! A handy wire bin keeps everything you need in full view.

OUR PICK: Spectrum Small Wire Basket, $11, walmart.com

3. PREVENT PILEUPS

Scattered folding chairs, umbrellas and beach bags will be a thing of the past when you hang them on hooks. The pegs keep items flat against the wall, so they won’t wobble or stick out. OUR PICK: Double Prong Wall Hooks, $15 for 5, wayfair.com

4. DIVIDE EQUIPMENT

These stackable cubes can be positioned in any pattern to create a storage unit that’s perfect for your area. Plus, they’re an ideal height — no need to reach when packing gear or putting it away!
