Household and paperwork storage ideas

Nobody plans storage for the ironing board. It ends up wedged behind a door because it was never assigned a home, and the same is true of the vacuum, the recycling, the spare light bulbs and eleven years of unopened bank statements. Household and admin items are the classic homeless category.

The fix is unglamorous and effective: give every awkward essential one defined location, chosen for where it is used rather than where there happens to be a gap. Paperwork additionally needs a retention rule, because paper storage problems are almost always volume problems caused by never throwing anything away.
