I’ve also linked everything in this post HERE on my Amazon storefront to make it easier. Under “organization for car.“
Table of Contents
Glove Compartment
So, for the glove compartment, it is best to keep items that you don’t use daily in there. Why? You are more likely to shove things back in there and not take the time to organize them since they are not at arm’s reach, which you want to try to avoid. So, instead, I would keep the everyday items in the center console.
As an example, here is what I keep in the glove compartment:
- Scissors
- Mini first-aid kit
- Mini sewing kit
- Container with bobby pins and hair ties
- Wipes
- Extra earphones
- Car documents
Your glove compartment will probably contain different items based on your needs and/or your family’s needs, so if you have more loose items, a great way to organize them and keep them contained is with zipper bags.
These zipper bags are my favorite, and I use them everywhere. You can see how I used them to organize my purse and even our family games!
Also, once you consolidate your items into bags, you can add a label to easily identify what each bag contains and maintain the organizational system.
Center Console Car Organization
Recreate this car organization tip:
I use photo boxes paired with zipper pouches to organize my center console to categorize and contain all the items. I use this label maker to label each container. (I love this label maker here, too)
To organize your center console, I suggest taking inventory of what you frequently keep there and grouping those items into categories. Once you have your categories figured out, label a container for each category. I recommend lumping like items together so you do not end up with too many categories.
As an example, here is what I keep in the center console:
- Extra disposable masks
- Phone chargers
- Gum and mints
- Gift cards
- Pen + paper
- Advil
- Floss sticks
- Disinfecting wipes (not pictured)
I don’t know about you, but this was the “catch-all” for us, and we used to toss everything here. But now, all our things are nice and tidy and easily accessible because everything has a home and a place to be stored between uses.
Driver’s Door Car Organization
Recreate this car organization tip:
My first tip for using the driver’s door space is not to store items that are of high value to you. Things can easily fall off and get lost, so I like to keep it simple and use it to hold a few items that I use daily.
I recommend keeping items you use daily, such as hand sanitizer, trash bags, etc., on your driver’s door.
As an example, here is what I keep at the driver’s door:
- Hand sanitizer
- Lint roller – We have one on every door because we have a Husky, haha!
- Fiber cloth
- I use the mist spray bottle with water to wipe the dust off my dashboard with the fiber cloth.
- Trash bags
What you keep in your driver’s door will differ from mine. However, I hope this gives you some ideas on how to organize your car!
Car Trunk Organizer
Recreate this car organization tip:
For trunk organization, I use a trunk organizer and zipper pouches to keep everything organized and contained. I then labeled each zipper bag to identify what each one has. This is the label maker I use. (I love this label maker here, too)
To decide how to organize your trunk or what supplies you will need, pay attention to items that frequently end up in your trunk and also what items you need when you are out that you wish you had on hand when you need them.
Then, make a list of those items and group them into categories. Once you have your categories, you can determine what supplies you’ll need to organize in your trunk and how much you will need.
As an example, here is what I keep in the trunk:
- First Aid Kit
- Hair Kit
- Hair gel
- Water spray bottle
- Miscellaneous kit
- Period kit
- Car Vacuum
- Microfiber cloth
- Blanket
- Sunscreen
- Trash bags
- Grocery bags
Car Organization Tips | Q&A
I am overwhelmed. Where do I start?
I recommend tackling one small section at a time and not decluttering and organizing your entire car in one go. You can do the glove compartment one week, the center console next week, and so on.
What If I Have A Lot More Stuff?
I suggest purging the items in your car. Then, spend some time decluttering and purging anything that does not need to be in your car. And once you are left with all the items you use and need in your car, you’ll be surprised how much less stuff you will end up with
