I'm going to go out on a limb and guess there are very few among us with empty closets or shelves that we're actually looking to fill up with more stuff. Most of us are constantly on the lookout for storage solutions. Sometimes the best option to bust your clutter situation is to invest is some sizable storage.
If you've got the room and a free wall or nook, these big storage pieces may be just what you need to organize all that stuff.
Paint It!
Second-hand shops are constantly bringing in large buffets, hutches, and china cabinets into their shops. Find one that works for you and paint it yourself or get it sprayed. You can also wallpaper the shelves or paint the inside a different colour to further tie it into your decor.
