From closets and craft rooms to pantries and play areas, our customers have returned to Elfa time and time again to help them declutter their spaces and help give them peace of mind. Whether you choose an easy Elfa Grab & Go kit or a solution that's been custom designed according to your specific needs, Elfa remains one of The Container Store's most beloved and versatile storage and organization systems.

Among the biggest champions of Elfa are our Brand Ambassadors. Recently several of them tackled their own home organization projects with each turning to Elfa for amazing results.

See the results of their work below and be inspired!

After trying to repurpose her existing built-in closet into a nursery closet, new mom and avid DIY-er Lindsay DiPonzio was determined to find a better solution. She turned to Elfa, going with the Elfa Classic 6' White Closet Kit. "The Elfa System was perfect for this space because it was super easy to install--took us only an hour!" she raves. "Plus, it was easy to customize it for the space. The depth of the drawers is also ideal for storage and organization of baby items!" With the new closet system and a few accessories (such as the Round Trellis Maize Hamper, Natural Montauk Woven Bins, and Kid's Premium Non-Slip Velvet Hangers) in place, her daughter Lilliana has the most adorable organized baby closet in town!

For professional organizer Jeanette Colley, the answer to her family's messy coat closet came in the form of the Elfa Classic 4' White Closet Kit. "This is the only storage closet in our whole house, and we knew for awhile that we needed to find a way to maximize the space in it but couldn't figure out exactly what to do," she explains. "This Elfa pre-packed 4' Closet Kit was the perfect solution! It comes with everything you need, and there are several ways to configure it to meet your needs! I added an Elfa Door & Wall Rack with shoe organizers to create even more functionality!"

Professional organizer Leslie Marshall is also an avid Elfa Door & Wall Rack fan (or stan if you happen to be under thirty). "As we get ready to put our home on the market, we are making it known that you can create storage in any space with the right organization products!" she says. "This Elfa Door & Wall Rack the perfect solution for our extra cleaning products! Elfa can transform any area of your home - from any closet, to your pantry to your garage, it is completely customizable!" And the best part? Leslie can easily move this solution with her to her new home!

Professional organizer Janelle Cohen went all out with her storage closet, updating it with Elfa Ventilated Shelves, White Nordic Storage Baskets, and Clear Weathertight Totes to store laundry and cleaning supplies. And like Leslie's Door & Wall Rack, Janelle's Elfa solution can be easily moved in the future. "I designed it around the current shelving so when I move out, I can bring it with me and repurpose," she says. "I also got to use my new Cricut to make some fun rainbow labels! Now this multi-purpose closet is fully maximized, and the whole process start to finish was so dang easy!"

Rather than a closet area, recipe blogger Alice Choi focused on her daughter Madeline's work space. "We wanted to make it more functional with more space for storage, and she also wanted shelves," Alice explains, "so we headed into our local Container Store for some inspiration. Now, Madeline has a designated, very functional place to do her homework, work on art and crafts, and read her books." The end result--a custom-designed freestanding White Elfa Décor desk complete with Marie Kondo Photo Boxes and Stockholm Desktop Accessories--truly is a thing of beauty!
