6 genius TikTok storage hacks you'll love
Whether you're rearranging cute bathroom decor or figuring out how to utilize new kitchen organizers to their utmost potential, allow TikTokers to steer you in the right direction. No matter the room, there's a storage hack you need to know about.
1. Garbage bag hack
Recycle the paper box and place your garbage bags in a cute container. You'll be able to feed the roll through the bin's handles and grab a bag as you need it. Who doesn't appreciate a little something chic...even if it's under the kitchen sink?!

2. Kitchen essentials hack
Keeping aluminium foil, plastic wrap and the like orderly is a challenge, especially when you close the drawer and the boxes flip-flop. Since you're busy reading your magazines anyway — especially your favorite magazine, Real Homes — use those periodical holders in the kitchen instead of your WFH office.

Keys, Metrocards, chargers — you always seem to have a lot of goods right as you walk in the door. Setting aside a designated spot at the entryway for those necessities (ones that you're more than likely to misplace anywhere else in the house) will save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
