If we think about the storage space in our cars, there isn’t much of it. We have some door and back seat pockets, gloves compartment, and central console. That’s barely enough to fit some of the essentials, and what to do if you’re taking a long road trip or going on a vacation by car?
You need to organize the car space in a smart and convenient manner, so that you would not only make the interior tidier, but also more convenient to find and use the essentials. For this, you need to get the right organizers and consider where to put what items. And we’re here to help you!
Organize your gadgets
There are many gadgets that we use in our everyday life, but there are only few that we would take to our cars with us. These are laptops, tablets, and of course, phones – and all of them need a certain storage place in the car. For two former we recommend this Car Laptop Holder (which can also serve as a desk) and this Car Tablet Holder.
As for the latter, choosing one might get difficult with so many great models available. First, you need to choose what type of phone holder you want: magnetic, which is very easy to place and take your phone of, or grip type, which does require more time for set-up, but is more reliable. Then, you can choose the location: should it be attached to the air vent or placed on the dashboard. For the most discrete one, we recommend this Magnetic Car Phone Holder, and as for better grip – here is this Suction Cup Dashboard Phone Holder Mount.
Utilize sun visors
Since you need to utilize the most space in your car, why not to use sun visors? You can attach various storage solutions on them, such as Magnetic Car Sunglasses Case, Tissue Box Cover, or even a Document Visor Organizer.
Keep essentials close by
Instead of reaching to the gloves compartment to find your documents, pills, keys, and other frequently used items, put them right next to you. How to do so? Use the space between the two front seats – central console.
This Multifunctional Car Seat Organizer Set will be an ideal solution. It has several convenient compartments for better organization of your belongings, plus it closes the gap between the seats and the central console, which prevent any items falling into it. You can also get this Universal Car Storage Mesh for the central-middle area, but it’d be better to put there less frequently used items.
More storage for the back area
Many of us tend to just pile all our things up on the back seat, but that’s not only messy but inconvenient, too. First of all, we suggest getting one or two of these Car Back Seat Organizers – with multiple pockets of different sizes you’re sure to fit all your bigger essentials there.
It’s also advisable to get some car headrest hooks to hold your bags, so that they wouldn’t touch the dirty floor. You can choose simple black design that doesn’t attract much attention or go all in and get shiny rhinestone hooks! If you notice that you and your passengers tend to accumulate trash in the car, get a special car trash bin for it. The best option is this Waterproof Car Trash Bin, as it doesn’t leak and fits a lot.
No mess in the trunk
Trunk usually goes overlooked when it comes to tidiness and space organizations, and it’s a big mistake. Without the right organization, you will simply loose a part of precious storage space. What you can do is either get a special Car Trunk Organizer or use some old boxes with labels to make your trunk tidier, as well as to make it easier to find things there.
Don’t clutter up
Our final organization tip is to not clutter up your car. Sure, you might need some things at some time, but as long as they aren’t a necessity, they shouldn’t be in the car. After all, what’s the point of creating all this storage space if it’s taken by something you don’t even use?
