Brooms are weirdly hard to store in a small home—they tip over, snag on everything, and somehow always end up in the way.
Tall, Narrow Freestanding Cabinet
When a closet isn’t an option, I love a freestanding cabinet because it hides the broom mess behind a door and looks more like furniture. I’ve used one in a hallway corner to keep broom storage out of sight but still close by.
Try these:
- Tall Narrow Utility Cabinet: Store your brooms and mops out of sight with a slim cabinet designed for tight corners.
- Woven Storage Basket: Organize smaller cleaning supplies or cloths inside your cabinet with a stylish, natural woven basket.
- Natural Corn Straw Broom: Upgrade your cleaning tools with a broom that looks attractive enough to leave out if needed.
Slim Pull-Out Broom Cabinet
If you’ve got a skinny cabinet or can add a narrow one, a pull-out broom cabinet is ridiculously satisfying because everything stays upright and contained. I helped a client do this next to their appliances, and it made their broom storage completely disappear.
Explore these options:
- Narrow Wood Broom Cabinet: Create a sleek storage nook for your cleaning tools with a dedicated slim cabinet that maximizes tight spaces.
- Modern Broom and Dustpan Set: Upgrade your cleaning routine with a stylish standing broom and dustpan set that tucks neatly into narrow organizers.
- Pull-Out Cabinet Organizer Rails: Transform an existing narrow gap or cabinet into a functional glider system to access your supplies effortlessly.
Inside-a-Cabinet Door Holders
I’ve mounted clips on the inside of a pantry or utility cabinet door so the broom is stored where you’d never expect it. For me, hidden storage like this is the difference between “cluttered” and “effortless.”
Products that could assist:
- Adhesive Broom Grippers: Secure your broom inside any cabinet door instantly with these simple, damage-free adhesive wall grippers.
- Screw-In Spring Steel Clips: Install these durable metal clips for a sturdy, long-lasting hold that keeps cleaning tools completely hidden.
- Corn Broom with Wooden Handle: Upgrade your cleaning essentials with a classic, sturdy corn broom that fits perfectly into narrow spaces.
Recessed Nook With Curtain Front
In a past apartment, I had a tiny wall recess, so I hung my broom inside it and added a simple curtain to hide the whole thing. It’s such a satisfying blend of hidden broom storage and cozy styling.
May just do the trick:
- Natural Linen Curtain Panel: Conceal your storage nook elegantly with breathable natural fabric that matches rustic and farmhouse interiors perfectly.
- Tension Curtain Rod: Install your curtain instantly inside any small recess or doorway without needing drills, screws, or tools.
- Command Broom Gripper: Secure your broom vertically inside the nook to keep it off the floor and organized neatly.
Ceiling-Mounted Hooks for Extra-Long Handles
In a cramped storage closet, I used ceiling hooks to lift the broom handle up high so nothing on the floor gets blocked. It felt unconventional at first, but it made my vertical storage work like a charm.
Give these a look:
- Heavy Duty Ceiling Storage Hooks: Securely hang tall cleaning tools from above to maximize every inch of vertical space in your closet.
- Natural Corn Straw Broom: Choose a classic, sturdy cleaning tool that looks beautiful enough to display openly on your walls.
- Woven Seagrass Storage Basket: Keep smaller cleaning supplies or linens tidy on the floor beneath your hanging tools with natural textures.
