DIY Drop Zone Organization Ideas

We all have one of these drop zones right? Or in our house, we refer to it as a junk zone. During lockdown it was the dining room table, everyone was dropping their school items and school supplies on my table like it was a drop zone for all that had no home. So, I got rid of the dining table and placed it in storage, the problem was solved. (kinda) I gave both children their own Drop cupboards (with doors) for their school supplies. So now they can shove their bags, shoes, hats, and homework into the Drop zone cupboard and close the doors on it. I admit we are still working on the “close the door” part.

These DIY drop zones not only looking stunning they are functional too. Each one has little spots for all those typical dump items.

When creating your new drop zone area, take a moment to see what is dropped there. Make a list or sort the items out. What needs to be in the drop zone? What should be in it’s proper place? Eg, important mail.

By sorting out the common items (for your home and lifestyle) you can make sure that your drop station suits all your needs. I love this Key storage box we have in our garage entryway. It allows me to put my keys down and free up my hands before walking into the house area. We have a few baby gates to navigate as we have a puppy. I also Love love love these cane shoe baskets on the floor for shoes.

Organizing your drop zone, doesn’t need to be expensive, take a look at these amazing ideas and work to your own budget. Make sure you remember to catakogue the items that already get dropped so you know what you need. I also like to add 10% extra space for growing… So if I have 4 sets of shoes at my door, I allow for 5 or 6 etc.
