What can I do to stop people from bashing their toe on this bedframe?

I LOVE collecting my interests. I have a ton of plushies, funko pops, figurines and a TON of clothing.
Problem is, I have so many, I don't know what to do with them in my dorm room to be more organized and less overwhelming. I just recently decluttered a lot of stuff I don't use or care for anymore, yet no matter what I do I can't find a practical system that works :/

My room is long so I couldn't fit it all in one photo, but the first image is the entrance of my room and the second is the farther back bit if that makes sense.

Any help and tips are appreciated!

This cabinet used to be where everything ended up—tea, coffee, snacks, spreads... and somehow we always thought we were out of things that were actually hiding in the back.

I grouped similar items into stackable bins and added simple labels so everyone knows where things go. It's nothing fancy, but it's made grabbing breakfast and putting groceries away so much easier.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but I'm always looking for ideas. Is there anything you'd change or add?

My kids are 6 and 9, and mornings used to fall apart in the same boring ways. Someone forgot library day. Someone needed sneakers, not Crocs. I was checking my phone while packing lunches, then getting annoyed that everyone was asking me things that were technically already on the calendar.

About a month ago I moved the family schedule onto a wall calendar display in the kitchen. Ours is an Apolosign, but the bigger shift was just putting the schedule where the cereal bowls are, not buried in my phone.

I update it Sunday night after the kids are in bed. Work calls that affect pickup, school stuff, sports, theme days, dinner plans, all of it goes on there. The kids each have a color. My husband has one too, because apparently “you didn’t tell me” was becoming a family hobby.

The chore part is very low-key. My 6 year old has backpack, shoes, water bottle. My 9 year old has lunchbox, feed dog, homework folder. They tap things off while I make coffee. No elaborate rewards, just points toward picking Friday movie or choosing takeout once in a while.

It does need to stay plugged in, so placement mattered. We had one decent outlet near the kitchen counter and that decided it. The voice stuff is basic, so I don’t use it for much.

It hasn’t made mornings magical. It has made me repeat myself less, which honestly counts for a lot before 8 am.

I have a small collection of beer bottles, and it really bothers me to see them like this. The room I have available is small, but I want to either display or store them properly. I don't like having them under this cabinet. Is there a better solution? Does anyone have any ideas? The cabinet floor is 35x50cm.

Finally got around to organizing my drawers of clothes. I wear mainly black to the gym so each time, I’m digging through my mess of a drawer to look for something. Found some containers at the local dollarama that work perfectly to allow me to see what’s in there and the fit in the drawers is even better. Now I just gotta make sure to keep this up.

I want to utilize this space better, its a big closet but somehow everything seems so cluttered.

And this isnt all the clothes, massive heap on my bed right now as im trying to re organize.

Any tips appreciated.

SHOE*!!! Dang 😭 Above my coat rack, there's a massive space (1m x 90cm / roughly 39" x 35"?) and I'm not really sure what to do with it! I mean storage is the obvious solution, but even if I put an IKEA dröna box or two up there I'll probably have a ton of space leftover. It's hard to get good pictures but from the top of this rack to the ceiling is the space I'm talking about!

I'm not sure how much weight the rack can hold, so I'm worried about doing anything TOO crazy — but maybe somebody has some ideas or some unconventional solutions. Or just something else entirely like decor or whatever :) any thoughts? This closet is almost 300cm / 118" tall (edit: maybe closer to 260-275cm? It's so hard to measure!) so I'd love to make the most of it you know?

Rebuilding the linen closet. Took the shelves out bc they were too deep and always become a disorganized mess. Any suggestions?

I have a ton of books that are sentimental to me and some can't be replaced. This is the current set up in the garage (I know, it makes my heart weep too). Bookshelf has been vetoed as a climbing hazard. Any advice for organizing these in our space without a bookshelf?

Me and my gf were gifted this couch by a family member I do not think this will fit no matter the rearrangement because of the giant ottoman, my S/o on the other hand says it will it there something I'm not seeing can someone help me

I think this organizer from home depot is the easiest and cheapest way to go for making a room into a walking in closet, thoughts?
