For interior designer Kerrie Kelly, all it took was an X-Narrow Elfa Drawer Unit to give her bathroom the proper storage it needed. Though only 10" wide, these drawer units can be customized, stacked, and tailored to their user's specific needs. In Kerrie's case, she tucked it into the small space between her sink and tub and filled it with her bath time necessities. "The Container Store's Elfa Drawers allow me to keep all my favorite bubble bath goods at the ready," she says. "That means easy access to soap, razors, towels and Epsom salts. It even has a Melamine Top to accommodate my rubber ducky!"

"This month, I decided to give my hanging storage some love," says professional organizer Jolin Polasek. "I used the Elfa Door & Wall Rack to give my accessories a serious upgrade!" After hanging it on her door, she used the wire baskets to store a variety of smaller items, such as purses, flats, and hats. This system's easy installation process--combined with its highly-customizable nature--makes it particularly useful for apartment dwellers, as Jolin herself points out. "This is a great option for renters because it does not damage the door," she says. "And as a bonus, you can uninstall it and take it with you when you move. It can be used in closets, pantries, laundry rooms, garages--all kinds of rooms in your home!"

Lifestyle blogger April Karschner also took a liking to our Elfa drawers--so much, in fact, that initially she couldn't decide on her favorite place to put them! "I originally picked these Elfa Drawer Solution to give us extra pantry storage. Then they showed up and I was stuck with the dilemma of where to actually use them, because there were so many places in our tiny house that they could benefit from the extra storage."

April decided to have some fun with the process by demonstrating the drawers' various uses to her Instagram followers. She first utilized them to store clothes, then for organizing food in the kitchen, and finally to sort her children's homeschooling supplies. While her followers had varying opinions on their favorite ways to use them, it's an organizing win for April and her family either way! Because, as she says, "Elfa is the perfect solution to maximize space in all areas of your home."

For professional organizer Azure MacCannell, one of the most common questions her clients ask her is "what do I do about a small closet?" Her answer: "¿Be super intentional about what you own and¿ ¿use ALL the space!" For this child's closet, she made every inch count, adding an Elfa Drawer Unit for folded clothes below the closet rod and an Elfa Door & Wall Rack for shoes and hair accessories. Plus, her incorporation of bins, drawer dividers, and labels into the space will make it even easier for the child to practice good organization habits in the future.
