Stop Clutter with Baskets

My mother-in-law has always used this simple tip from Unclutterer.com - baskets on steps can help clean up clutter! You could use a stair basket just to collect items that belong upstairs, but my mother-in-law used it for my husbands two sisters. Things that came in the mail, notes, items found about the house were collected and put in a stair basket: one for each of them. When his sisters would come home from school, inevitably they would grab the items in their basket as they made their way upstairs to their rooms. It was a perfect solution!

I don’t do this currently, but it’s a good idea. I wonder about the clutter factor, though. Does it look crowded on the stairs? Another idea is to put baskets at the end of the couch. We do this at home and it works wonderfully!
