The best thing is they are really inexpensive and can be found pretty much anywhere including the Dollar Store, Ikea, or if you’re really feeling fancy, Staples. Of course, who can forget Amazon! What more? They also come in different materials such as Wood, Metal, and of course Plastic. I would say they’re basically organizers version 2.0. Without further ado, here are some ways that you can jazz up your home organization using magazine holders!

Always run out to the store to buy a gift paper and other accessories because you couldn’t find them? Or don’t have space to keep them?

Whether its gift-wrapping paper, ribbons, sparkly pens or even bows, put them it into the holders. Your gift wrapping station is ready!

4. Hair Station
Don’t want to waste money by buying an extra special stand for your curler or straightener? Why waste so much for something that looks like a docking station NASA should be using? Not a problem. A magazine holder can easily store all your straighteners, and extra curlers or even extra makeup brushes.
Now you can easily use and store them before rushing off to work every day. Make sure to use a metal magazine holder since the heat cooling off from the curler or straightener would melt any other material like plastic.
5. Store Plastic Wrap Box, Foil, etc
Did you ever come home to find a roll of plastic wrap extending over the counter to the floor? Due to the lack of drawer space, can’t keep them in drawers too. So, where to store them? Well, a magazine holder will definitely do the trick and keep them organized. Store all those plastic wrap boxes, wax papers, and even extra Ziploc bags and aluminum foil rolls in the magazine holder.
Mount it to a shelf in your pantry or even on a cabinet door. You’ll never have to worry about paper rolling around on the floor again!

Is junk mail piling up on your table? Use magazine holders to organize the bulk of your mail into separate holders like Insurance, Family, Marketing, etc. It would prove more effective to store these personalized magazine holders near the door or garage since that’s where all the mail usually ends up anyway. If you want to take it a step further, you can also organize the mail by each family member. Doing so will avoid the daily confusion of “Mom! Where’s my mail?”

Although very useful and necessary to access the internet, the router doesn’t really go with the decor of the house. But you can hide an ugly router, with its mess of cables of course, easily in a quaint and quirky magazine holder. This can also be used to store extra wires, old routers, useless headphones or any other tech that’s unnecessary and needs to be thrown away. Functional and cute, what more could you want?
10. Organize Your Bills
For me, losing a bill is an event that happens almost on a daily basis. With magazine holders, you can stay on top of things and up to date by organizing the bills as per your preference.

I’m sure there’s at least one in every house that can tell the difference between dark roast and medium-dark roast. With all the different coffee flavors these days, there is more room in our stomachs, but less space in our cabinets to store the coffee bags or K-cups!
Using a metal magazine holder is perfect to hold different types of coffee pods, K-cups. It doesn’t take up much room at all and a ton less compared to storing boxes that they come in. You can keep the holder on a shelf, or behind a door since they don’t really take up much space.
13. Corner Shelf storage

Did you forget your keys again? Or was it your wallet this time? Happens to the best of us. To avoid those panicky mornings where you have no idea if you put on socks or a sweater. Turn a wooden magazine holder to a shelf and hang it at the corner of your front door to save your sanity! Store your keys, wallet, and other essentials that are perfect as a pick up stops before the morning rush.
This also works great in the bathroom to store all those stray nail polish bottles, cotton balls, and nail files that keep taking up precious counter space.

I’m personally not a knitter, but if you are one, and you’re tired of those yarn balls becoming a play toy for your cats……organize them! Each holder can easily hold up to six balls of yarn, and the bigger the holder, the more they’ll be able to hold. They can be wall-mounted or sit on a shelf comfortably out of the reach of your cat or kids.
18. Organize Cutting boards

Honestly, I attempt to open a drawer for at least three minutes before realizing my large collection of cutting boards are blocking it. No matter how small your kitchen is, impulse shopping gives way to, “I definitely need another cutting board”. If you are anything like me, then don’t worry it’s easy to store and organize them.
Simply stuff them vertically into a magazine holder, preferably larger than the usual size, and store them in a shelf, or in the pantry or pretty much anywhere! They don’t take up much space! Buy the exact one here.
19. Organize Water Bottles

Personally, I have way too many water bottles that take up at least two shelves in the pantry! Whether they’re from conferences, freebies from school, or for daily use, water bottles can easily take up a lot of space. Utilize a holder and stack them on top of each other, and you’ll end up using less than a quarter of shelf space. This also frees up some much-needed space.
20. DIY Charging Station

Why trip over all those wires and cables? They have definitely been the cause of many Jennifer Lawrence-Oscar-worthy-trips in my house, and also a source of immediate irritation! Place magazine holders near your modem and router, and drill a few holes at the bottom of the holder. And bingo! You now have your own, very awesome, DIY charging station.
Note: Get some classy and cute ones at Marshalls or TJ Maxx to avoid exposing your eyes to the “plain ones.”
21. Store Tupperware Lids

Tupperware lids are quite difficult to track off and can easily end up all over the kitchen. So, it’s quite hard to keep partner each lid to its respective container. A magazine holder fixes all of these pesky problems. It makes it so much easier when all the lids are in one place. And if the holder is wall-mounted, storage becomes even easier. Alternatively, you can also use heavy-duty command hooks to mount it without drilling holes.
22. Baking Pan Holder

I mean, how much more of a Bretty Crocker vibe can you get? Store your Muffin tins, Cupcake Tray, Cake pans…..any baking pan you want! And if you’re into farm-themed or cute-pink type magazine holders, it’s definitely a change from the plain black and white colors. Use the holders to store your smaller sized pans. Or just use a larger magazine holder to store the larger sized ones.
23. Washcloth Storage

Do all your washcloths get mixed up in drawers, the laundry, or end up in the back of random shelves? Magazine holders to the rescue! (If your kid watches the show Super Why you’ll understand the reference!)

Honestly, anybody who loves makeup can’t get enough eyeshadow palettes! But they’re also a pain to keep track of and organize. The most we do is leave it open at the vanity and forget about it until the next day. Not anymore! Use the holder and get creative! Organize by company, shades or colors. This is perfect to do on one of those days where you have “nothing to do.” Amazon and Marshalls have some pretty cool holders, so be sure to check them out.

This is a great way to make space in your pantry, and not be boggled every time you need to pull out a box to make crowd favorite pasta! It also keeps all the spaghetti and pasta in one place so you don’t have to play Treasure Hunt every time you need a box.
27. Toy Organizers

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve tripped over toys and the little cars and who knows what else.

Neatly stack all those toys and annoying little cars in the holder and store them in a shelf. Clean up has never been easier!

Rather than having towels stack up on the shelf, use a holder! Neatly roll them up and stack them in the holder. This will give you some much-needed bathroom and shelf space. Who wants towels falling from the shelf all over the floor? That’s unattractive. You can repurpose the holders to make a spacious towel holder, giving it a rustic farmhouse vibe that is universally appealing.
31. DIY Nightstand

Why spend extra money to buy an expensive, customized nightstand when you can use a holder? Use a wall-mounted wooden magazine holder that will easily blend in with your decor (I would personally paint it turquoise). Stack two holders on top of each other, and then attach two legs to them. There you have it. A DIY nightstand that is inexpensive and fashionable.
Don’t underestimate the importance of a magazine holder when organizing. It can be used for a variety of things and will save you money and space. Not to mention it can give a designer level decor!
