11 Affordable Dollar Tree Organization Finds That Double As Decor

In a world of mass-produced home goods, there's no need to sacrifice style to get organized, even if you're on a budget. Dollar Tree is packed with affordable organizers that can declutter a home and add decorative value. Many of these home goods are $5 and under, making them incredibly budget-friendly and practical for small and large homes alike. They also work in various rooms throughout the home, including high-traffic and notoriously messy locations like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.

Dollar Tree finds aren't restricted to one interior style in particular. These ideas cover all kinds of interior themes, from rustic country to modern glam. Many of these dollar store products have a minimalist design that can be personalized with functional home essentials and charming knick-knacks. The beauty of these ideas is that many of them are easy to set up and require minimal DIY to assemble. There is a wide range of storage objects that are also aesthetically pleasing when styled right, hanging shelves, woven baskets, and even repurposed plant pots.

Wall shelving doesn't have to be boring. The $1.25 Large Decorative Hanging Wall Shelf with Rope has minimalist and boho appeal. The straight lines are very mid-century modern, and its natural textures of wood and rope supply a rustic vibe. This shelf is excellent for holding collectibles, artificial plants, electronic candles, and other decor. It also works for more practical storage, like holding vitamins, kitchen spices, and other lightweight home essentials.

At first glance, the $1.25 Cooking Concepts Wire Napkin Holder is generic. The curved wire shape has an industrial look, but you can dress it up by using it as a cookbook organizer. Slide a cookbook inside, and prop it open or leave it closed, keeping it away from kitchen spills and within easy reach. A stylish or seasonal cookbook also adds a personalized, lived-in touch. In fact, there are many ways to use a Dollar Tree napkin holder to organize a kitchen and improve the interior design.

Keeping candy and cookies on the counter imbues a warm, homey touch in kitchen spaces. However, leaving them in their original packaging is uninspiring. Unload your favorite snacks or your pet's treats into the $1.50 Glass Jars with Stainless Steel Lids. These simple but classy glass containers have a modest design. They complement a kitchen without drawing too much attention and make practical food storage look intentional. Upgrade the jars with labels, like the Jot Chalkboard Sticker Assortment, to make them more customized and less minimalist.

There's another Dollar Tree item that perfectly organizes a kitchen while adding a decorative touch. The $5 Striped Woven Straw Baskets have a woven straw look with a braided rope in the center. They have a farmhouse look and are perfect for holding fresh countertop produce in the kitchen, toys in the playroom, or throws and other accents in the living room. Tuck these baskets on the center of a kitchen island, the corner of a counter, or an open shelf for a cozy, country aesthetic.

Dollar Tree's $5 Caterer's Corner Transparent Cutlery Holder is another kitchen organizer that can double as decor if styled right. Fill each compartment with hot chocolate packets, stirring spoons, and peppermint sticks to create an adorable hot cocoa station. If you prefer coffee or tea, fill the compartments with alternative ingredients. For a little style, add flowers or other decorative filler to any unused sections. This keeps your ingredients organized and showcases your favorite beverages seamlessly within an attractive kitchen setup.

The round $2.00 Caterer's Corner Clear Plastic Candy Jars are good for more than stowing cookies. These unique snack jars sit upright or sideways, providing modern storage for household essentials. Place a pair on a laundry room shelf, and fill them with detergent pods and scent beads for a bit more ornamental value than their original containers. It also frees up laundry containers to repurpose in the home, and if you want a little flair, you can spray paint the lid to match the rest of your decor.

If you need extra bathroom storage and have empty wall space, take a creative approach and pin up a set of baskets. Pick any narrow storage baskets with a carved-out design, because it's important that they're well ventilated in humid areas like a bathroom. The $1.50 Daisy Design Laser-Cut Plastic Storage Bins are the perfect size and shape for this project. Hang them up, and avoid overfilling them, since the baskets are made of a thin plastic.

The $1.25 Special Moments Large Metal Display Easel is another Dollar Tree cookbook organizer that doubles as modern decor. This design has a lower front, so it may not keep books propped open, but it's a great way to keep your books on display and out of the way without letting them look like clutter. It comes in a variety of metal finishes, and the smaller versions could also be used to store and display handwritten cards, postcards, and miniature art prints in other rooms.

Dollar Tree's $1.50 Storage Essentials Clear Acrylic Rotating Kitchen Turntable has a simple, transparent design. Arrange a few of these on a shelf, and fill them with craft supplies, like beads, glitter, acrylic paints, and other colorful embellishments. The rotating turntable makes it easy to find the items you need while keeping them organized. It also puts belongings on display, giving a craft room or office a more creative ambiance, especially when you dress it up with decorative elements like paint, ribbon wraps, or decoupage.

Dollar Tree's $1.25 Essentials Over the Door Metal Hook comes in black or white to befit dark or light color schemes. Instead of hanging it on the inside of a closet door, hang this metal contraption on the outside. Hook hats, scarves, purses, or other fashionable accessories and decorations in pleasant arrangements of color and texture to show off your collection and personality in a bedroom space.

The garden collection at Dollar Tree features a large $5 Garden Collection Self Watering Plastic Plant Pot with Saucer that's big enough to store a range of items. YouTube channel @Homegoodiys shows how you can tuck this pot beside a toilet and pile spare toilet paper rolls inside. This keeps them out of sight but within reach and hides a common bathroom eyesore in a versatile matte container. If you're feeling creative, spray paint a Large Round Crystal-Cut Plastic Tray — it makes the perfect lid to hide stored items from view.
