How can I organize household items to make life with arthritis easier?

Here are some tips for organizing household items to make life easier if you have arthritis. Organize household items by storing like things together and keeping them near the place in which they will be used. For example, sports equipment might be stored in the garage, sewing supplies and notions in the sewing-room closet, herbs and spices in the cupboard nearest the stove and mittens and hats in a hanging shoe bag inside the coat closet.

Keep family memorabilia organized in individual cardboard boxes, labeling the boxes with the family member’s name and the year. When the boxes are filled, they can be stored in the basement or attic. Shoe boxes are great for storing things like cookie cutters, craft supplies, appliance cords, hair ribbons and barrettes.

Often shoe stores have empty boxes they’re willing to give you. You can paint the box or cover it with an adhesive-backed paper so it’s more attractive, then leave it out on a shelf or a countertop. If you store the boxes on a closet shelf, label the outside for easy retrieval.

Store extra extension or appliance cords in empty toilet tissue and paper towel tubes. The tubes are easy to grasp, and the cords stay neat and untangled. For easy identification, be sure to write the name of the appliance on the cord’s tube.

Store out-of-season items, like clothing and holiday decorations, in boxes that fit under the bed. You can find plastic or cardboard boxes at discount department stores or wherever clothing organizers are found. Another solution is to use decorative storage cubes as tables, lamp or plant stands, and the like.

Whatever you choose will save trips to the basement or attic storage areas.
