Idea 1: Wrapping Paper Storage
All of these ideas started when I turned the back of the door organizer into a wrapping paper organizer! You can click here to get instructions on making your own version of this organizer.
I have used mine for years now, and it still hangs on the back of one of the doors in my home. This is truly the best way I have found to organize my gift wrap and keep it out of the way!
Idea 2: Hat & Purse Storage
Storage ideas in the remainder of our home are varied. On some doors, we have simple hooks like the version below. These are great for hats, purses, towels, robes, kitchen accessories, and more. Think beyond the obvious use as these are usually sold as coat hooks. You can do so much more with storage on the back of your doors!
Idea 3: Scarf & Necklace Storage
Need more hooks? They also make the version pictured below which has an entire row of hooks. You can also click here to see a wide variety of hooks for the back of your door.

NOTE: They do make jewelry organizers that hang over the back of your door as well.
