This versatile pegboard helps you declutter virtually any space in the home, especially in places where smaller items tend to accumulate. It comes with the organizing accessories shown in the photo.

 

Price: Currently around $30 at IKEA.

 

 

 

2. The Kradl Bike Hanger

The Kradl bike hanger lets you easily suspend your bike from the ceiling so it's stored out of the way. Unlike many systems that involve pulleys, it operates under spring tension.

 

Tip: According to reviews, the effort needed to pull it down and release it upwards is equivalent to the difference between the top weight limit and the weight of your bike. For example, the Kradl-25 used for a 20-lb bike will operate with 5 lbs of resistance.


Price: Currently around $159 on Amazon.
