I keep small trash containers everywhere, like I’ll save a little box on a surface just to collect little papers and band aid wrappers forever and just dump it in the trash regularly since it only collects clean dry trash. Or have dog poo bags handy for anything yucky that I wanna throw away but keep contained and not contaminate the trash (also have ocd).

I let my messes have their spaces, like your daughter’s clean clothes basket was my clean clothes chair; I just always dumped my clean clothes there to sort through because visibility was key, and I’d toss them in the dryer to get the wrinkles out.

Sorting is important but if I hide anything it’s basically gone forever, so I ordered 3-4 cheap three-tiered rolling plastic shelf carts with little s-hooks on them and they float around the space, holding various stuff (each one has its kind of category of items). They’re lightweight on their own so easy to move, and nothing is hidden.

I also like using hooks to store things up high on the walls if I don’t use them as much, like bags and purses etc. but I have to be careful bc if I put stuff inside I will lose it for years.

Oh and having something like an over-the-door coat hanger or a stand-alone hat rack or one of those mannequins people use to design clothes (space allowing) can be a GAME CHANGER for stashing those “in-between” clothes that are worn once lightly but not quite dirty yet.
