It is no secret by now that a well-organized home instantly looks expensive – but you don't actually have to break the bank to achieve the look.
A sucker for a bargain, I am always on the lookout for the best home storage ideas as a low-cost way to make a house look more expensive – while still meeting my strict practical criteria. After weeks of trawling the internet, I found that the Target storage pieces are the answer.
Better yet, these nine pieces are all in the Target Memorial Day Sale, making the deal even sweeter.

Whether you have the same goal as me to organize a home for quiet luxury or are simply looking to level-up your home organizing ideas for less, these nine picks are a must.
This large wooden storage crate looks far more expensive than it actually is, and is ideal for organizing a bedroom with comforters, throw pillows, and spare linens, and organizing an entryway by keeping shoes out of the way.
Perfect for both organizing a bathroom when you need shower products to dry and organizing a kitchen to store fresh produce where it can breathe, this standing storage caddy is a great practical space-saving pick.
There are few tasks as tedious as sorting clothes for laundry. I like to take the effort out of it by using a pre-sorted laundry basket, such as this one, to keep darks, lights, and delicates separate and easy to grab when doing laundry.
I have discovered that bar carts are some of the most surprisingly versatile storage pieces for a home. I use them both for when I am hosting friends on game nights and we need an extra surface for snacks and drinks, and in my home office to organize craft supplies and office necessities and keep them transportable. This Target pick has the added luxury of looking expensive, too.
My closet is shockingly small, and given that I share it with my partner, I am always on the lookout for more clothes storage options to expand the space. If I have to keep clothes on show, I like to do so stylishly, using something like this wooden clothes rack to make my storage look like intentional decor.
I have decided that no entryway is complete without somewhere to keep shoes hidden and out of the way, especially if, like in my home, your entry opens straight up into a room. I like these slimline standing shoe cabinets to keep shoes off the floor and easy to grab on the way out.
I have spoken to enough professional organizers to know that good storage baskets are essential to any well-organized home. These three-section baskets are perfect for keeping smaller items neat without them falling into one another and getting mixed up.
Woven baskets are some of the most versatile style options when it comes to baskets. Not only do they help achieve the quiet luxury look, but they also fit in a modern home, and even a cottagecore style property. These Target baskets look far more expensive than they are, too, making them an incredible steal.
For a more airy look, mesh baskets are the best pick. These linen-lined baskets are perfect for organizing pantry storage and keeping bottles and packets neat on shelves, or take the liners out and use them to organize a family bathroom so products and children's bath toys can drip dry between uses.
FAQs
What do I need to consider before buying storage?
Before buying storage and organizing products for your home, you should consider what it is you are storing and where you are storing it to help pick the best containers for the job. If you are storing messy items, or storing items in an area that gets wet or dirty, it is best to choose sturdy wipe-clean plastic containers over wood, for example, while wood and cardboard containers are best for dry areas like closets and pantries.
You should also always declutter the space and measure storage areas before buying containers to fill the. This ensures everything you are keeping fits neatly and nothing overflows, leading to more clutter than you started with.
When shopping for organizing products in the sale, remember to still only buy what you need to get your home in order, rather than go for anything that seems like a good deal. Being selective with what you buy and ensuring that they will each have a functional use in your home will make it a better deal than splurging on products you wont end up using.
