If you are looking for something that can make things at your home stay organized as well as decorating the interior, check out these 10 DIY shelf organizer ideas. As always this ideas are compiled for you by simphome.com
10. Put On Labels
Installing open shelves in a kitchen is better than having bulky cabinets. The shelves will enable you to grab the ingredients you need when cooking and put them back more easily and quickly, which saves more time. And what makes them better is they don’t gobble up the space.
Do you often mistake sugar for flour that you put on the shelf? It seems trivial, but can lead to a big trouble. You can solve this problem by putting on a label on each jar so you won’t do the same mistake anymore. Besides, the labels can improve the look of your shelf and kitchen, making them look tidier.
9. Wooden Crate Shoe Shelf
Don’t see waste as a useless thing that you need to get rid of as soon as possible. It can turn into fruitful shelves that you can use to store almost anything in your home. Now roll up your sleeves because you’re going to make the shelves this weekend.
Before making the shelves, you need to get 6 wooden crates. If you already have them, good for you! You can save more time and money.
First, get 6 wooden crates, 4 3” swivel caster rubber wheels, small wood screws, and some other tools. Then, sand the surface of the crates so you can stain or paint them more easily. After that, screw the crates together and install the casters to the bottom. If you want the shelves to look rustic, sand them using a sanding block and some steel wools.
8. Simple Shelf Dividers
Storing trays and cookie sheets vertically can help you save more space comparing to stacking them up. Besides, it will make your shelf or cabinet look tidier. Instead of getting some shelf-dividers that might not suit your shelf and budget, try to make one yourself.
To do this easy project, get some poplar boards, lauan plywood, and brad nails. First, you’re going to need to install the poplar boards at the top and bottom of your shelf or cabinet using brad nails until it’s fully covered. Don’t forget to make a few millimeters gap between the poplar boards to insert the lauan plywood. Then, insert the lauan plywood, and you’re done!
7. Pull-Out Storage Idea
These pull-out organizers will help your kids organize their toys better. The vibrant red containers look great with the wooden shelf.
To make this cool shelf, you’re going to need 2 – 1 x 12 x 8′ pine boards, 2 – 1 x 12 x 4′ pine boards, 3 – 1 x 2 x 8′ pine boards, 2 – 1 x 3 x 8′ pine boards, 9 Ikea Trofast bins, gorilla wood glue, brad nailer, and wood stain.
6. DIY Pegboard Shelf
if you are looking for a multi-functional shelf that is also easy to make, try using a pegboard. Pegboards are extremely versatile. You can even hang it in any room in your house, just like this pegboard. You only need to add some pegboard organizers to hold your stuff in place.
To make these beautiful and functional pegboard organizers, you’re going to need 1/2″ thick plywood, 3/8″ drill bit, wood glue, clamps, chalked paint, and stencil.
You’re going to measure the plywood first. The size can be varied depending on how you want the organizer to be. But, make sure the back part of the organizer has to be longer because it will be hung to the pegboard. Then, cut the plywood.
Before assembling the pieces, drill two holes in the back. Then, you can now glue or nail the pieces together. Paint the organizers the color of your choice. You can also apply stencil if you like. And, finally, you can hang them on the pegboard.
5. Rustic “HOME” Wooden Shelf
Looking for a shelf that can perk your house up in an affordable price? Try this one. Now shop around your home to find any leftover that you can use to make this cute rustic shelf.
Since you’re going to form H-O-M-E out of some pallet, you’d better draw your plan first before cutting up the pallet. Just a little tip, begin with the E. It would be easier. Assemble three pieces to the long board. The hardest part will be the M because it requires you to cut 45-degree angles. But, it’s not a big deal, though.
Once all the pieces have been assembled well, you can apply any finish you want. But whitewash it would enhance the rustic look.

00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,320
1.Ceiling Storage For Bed3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,840
Most are familiar with the Murphy bed,4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,370
which allows users to fold it against the wall when5
00:00:12,370 --> 00:00:14,540
it is not in use.6
00:00:14,540 --> 00:00:17,200
While this most definitely saves space,7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,420
having your bed on the ceiling will give you the8
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:22,200
maximum amount of square footage of your room.9
00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:26,380
Though its origins are from a French manufacturer,10
00:00:26,380 --> 00:00:28,740
the idea in place is essentially a pulley11
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:30,820
system for the mattress and frame.12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,560
Do not be intimidated by the notion,13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,680
as installation isn't nearly as complicated as it sounds,14
00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:41,260
with Ikea now dipping its toes into this forum.15
00:00:41,860 --> 00:00:42,800
Tip:16
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:45,340
If you decide this route is for you,17
00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:47,900
use a preexisting frame by BedUp18
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:49,800
(or a similar competitor)19
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,860
that raises and lowers the mattress20
00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:53,920
but still gives you the freedom to determine21
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,520
sleeping height.22
00:00:56,020 --> 00:00:59,320
2. Compact Living Style Storage Bed23
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,080
by Yesul Jang24
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,860
Graduate Yesul Jang was the original mind25
00:01:03,860 --> 00:01:05,720
behind the millennial bed that is raised to26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,680
waist level so items like dorm room accessories27
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,760
can all fit underneath,28
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,960
as sort of a makeshift29
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:13,880
bunk bed of practicality.30
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:15,600
Additionally,31
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,760
a fabric curtain can cover your belongings32
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,740
so that they are not in view at33
00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:20,120
all times.34
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,420
In using such a curtain, they are cheap35
00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:25,100
and quick to replace if they incur damage.36
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:28,900
Because statistically sleeping space and storage37
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:30,900
take up the most real estate in a dwelling,38
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,640
it is a natural blend to pair them in the39
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,300
same square footage.40
00:01:36,020 --> 00:01:39,820
3. A DIY Hidden Roll Out Bed41
00:01:39,820 --> 00:01:42,560
Rearranging furniture is enough to give anyone42
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,980
a headache, and never is this more true than43
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,460
shifting beds.44
00:01:47,460 --> 00:01:50,340
Their cumbersome size and stature will45
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:52,180
make you tear your hair out,46
00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:54,520
but fresh ideas have come to fruition47
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,160
on how to make hiding them48
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,020
more practical.49
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:00,780
One such solution is an accordion style panel50
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:02,770
of wooden strips that are each connected by51
00:02:02,770 --> 00:02:05,060
hinges on both ends.52
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:07,800
In essence, the platform folds into a drawer,53
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,600
with one piece of wood folding on top of another54
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,040
as if you are stacking them.55
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,980
When the drawer is pulled out,56
00:02:14,980 --> 00:02:16,820
the wooden frame of the bed pulls flat,57
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:18,280
with the hinges flush.58
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,700
making a level surface for the mattress.

be brought to life.11
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,760
The wood components include a top sized appropriately12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,940
at 14" by 18," along with a bottom 13.25"13
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:36,560

The length houses a lamp and clock19
00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:53,260
without looking cluttered or distracting.20
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,540
2. Moebe Large Shelving System21
00:00:57,540 --> 00:00:59,940
If you do not have the skills and patience22
00:00:59,940 --> 00:01:02,000
with a set of tools, and would prefer to keep23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,360
your large living areas organized,24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,040
the Moebe large shelving format is prudent.25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,200
Capable of taking up an entire wall,26
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,200
the system utilizes wooden wedges27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,460
to keep shelves from28
00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:14,980
moving.29
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:17,400
Rounded steel uprights connect to the shelves30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,140
in seconds by being placed through the pre-drilled31
00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:21,360
holes.32
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,140
Black stained ash wood and oiled oak33
00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:28,280
offer two diverse palettes to blend in to any setting.34
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,980
The Moebe approach is the most painless experience35
00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:34,860
possible start to finish to consolidate messy36
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:38,260
rooms fluidly without brackets, glues37
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:41,060
and other frustrating elements that slow you down.38

3. Flexible Shelving System from Benjamin Hubert39
00:01:47,070 --> 00:01:49,280
Differing from the Moebe shelving system is40
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,420
the Benjamin Hubert inspired flexible alternative41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,540
known as 'Shift.'42
00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:57,220
The idea behind its foundation is derived43
00:01:57,220 --> 00:01:59,700
from retail outlets, who are in frequent need44
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:02,060
of swapping out their displays.45
00:02:02,060 --> 00:02:04,180
The genius of the setup is that magnetic46
00:02:04,180 --> 00:02:07,440
panels are mounted to the wall, with shelves having47
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,960
the capability to be moved at the drop of a hat.48
00:02:12,060 --> 00:02:14,280
This process can be done at home, by lining49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,820
each shelf with a magnet on the bracket that50
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:19,540
will hold it in place on the panels.51
00:02:19,540 --> 00:02:22,040
With both the base and shelf boards connecting52
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,880
by these magnets, changing the style and appearance53
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,510
of the furniture can be accomplished in seconds.54
