Weird request

Im not a very neat person but I really want to be and I want to make this little area in my room look nice and spacious. The top shelf I put towels on, the second one is perfume/cologne the thirds is just random baby sick things the fourth one is my sons books and the last one is his toys. But if this was YOUR shelf how would you organize and what would you use to make it look neat/homey/ pretty

Containers always help me Amazon has some great ones. Stackable with lids is a great option for the bottom shelves on the top I would use a big open container. They have different types and colors but I love a clear acrylic container it just looks so clean to me!! I’d love to see the final result with whatever you decide to do I LOVE ORGANIZATION! It feeds my ocd 😂

@Ana LOL DEFINITELY! Send me a link for the containers you like 😭. My room theme is black and grey

Hide it all. In nice boxes/baskets

I'm a big fan of doors, a bigger storage piece with cabinets would tidy that space up well.

Floating shelves on the wall - frees up floor space (you could had some sort of storage bench to the floor underneath for spare blankets or toys). The longer shelves would spread out your items so they don’t look as cluttered and can be displayed properly, if you’re not wanting to go the cute storage bin route.

@Allyson omggg show me your vision please 🙏🏽

declutter, get baskets to put everything in, maybe put some art or photos on the wall

Declutter & organizers. Get rid of anything unnecessary. Then use organizers to sort items & keep them tidy. I personally prefer cabinets with doors or drawers so I don't have to see all the stuff.

I checked your profile, it said New York.. Do you have a Home Depot or Lowes near you? Pine stair treads make awesome inexpensive shelves that don't sag in the middle. If you get an EXACT measurement from wall to wall in that niche, you can ask them to cut the stair treads to length for you at the store. Most places charge a dollar per cut but some will make one cut per board for free. https://www.homedepot.com/p/EVERMARK-Stair-Parts-48-in-x-11-1-2-in-x-1-in-Unfinished-Pine-Plain-Cut-Engineered-Stair-Tread-8503E-048-HD00L/202087175 A second thought if you want to put more money into it is ordering some custom closet doors and installing them, then you could get the wire type closet shelves and put them wherever you want and just close the doors.you could even get the mirrored ones to make the room feel larger.

The towels would be nice if they were either in a basket or stacked together. The books would look nice standing up with a book stand on the end. I can see somethings are on the wrong shelves, so that is making it feel unorganized. Maybe get a stand for the colognes. I think making the stuff hidden behind doors or baskets would help it feel maintained.

I would only have 1 item or 2 on the top for neatness. It’s the first place you look typically
