A great way to store your items in your home is to put them into totes. I love the variety that Sterilite offers. Rubbermaid also makes a great tote. Take a look at their selection here:

They are sold at just about every box store, and are generally inexpensive. When purchasing a tote, make sure its not too large. Conventional wisdom makes you want to buy the biggest tote available to get as much stuff in it as possible. Keep in mind that totes are heavy when full.
A few other tips: Try to purchase clear totes so you can see the contents, and if possible, buy totes with wheels for easy movement.
Totes are great for consolidating like items.
Totes are also great for giving a standard shape to irregularly shaped items.
