Stock up on these must-have decluttering supplies.

Organizing your home isn't just about buying boxes and bins for everything you own (it also requires a bit of soul-searching and a lot of paring down your stuff). But when you have finally cleared out your closet or controlled your paper clutter, it's helpful to have some tools to keep things tidy. We asked professional organizers which tried-and-true items they use again and again.
1. Cube shelving
"We love cube shelving, like the bookcases in the IKEA KALLAX collection (which replaced the popular EXPEDIT line this year)," says Maeve Richmond, founder of the organizing coaching service Maeve's Method. "They're wonderfully multipurpose, since they can serve both as wall units and room dividers, and fit everything from books to gadgets to toys. I use them at home, and recommend them to clients all the time."

6. Trays
"Trays are ideal for sectioning space on shelves, inside drawers, and on desks and countertops," says Maeve. "They also help people who tend to dump stuff down since they provide a target or 'drop zone.' It's okay to let things hang loose when they're contained inside a tray's tiny walls."

7. Chalkboard labels
"People love to use labels, but permanent ones don't provide for a very flexible system, which can cause your efforts to break down." says Maeve. "But you can adjust and rewrite chalkboard labels as your needs change."
