"Puzzle boxes are usually annoying and fall apart. Unless you’re using them as an art decoration in rainbow order, toss the box and put the pieces in a zippered pouch. Attach a photo of the puzzle to the front or you can cut the front of the box and include it in the bag instead."
Think about ways to get creative with the organization. For example, trying out over-the-door storage for books is a great way to maximize your space in a small area. "It makes the most of often wasted vertical space on a door or wall and is totally customizable!"
If you have a hard time parting with your child's arts and crafts, The Home Edit team suggests keeping a box in your child’s playroom for sentimental items like artwork and crafts.
"If you don’t have a big desktop or hardworking shelves, think vertically to create space and open up your desk for more versatility and breathing room."
