Clutter-busting tips

Deb Lee, a CPO whose firm, D. Allison Lee, is in Upper Marlboro, Md., offers these quick tips:

1. Use vertical space (walls, backs of doors) when possible. Think shoe organizers, hooks and shelving. 2. Store seasonal clothing and blankets under your bed or the bed in the guest room. 3. Store sizable things behind

the sofa (wall art, rugs). 4. Don’t forget about the area above the rod in your closets. See if there’s room to install another shelf.
