I have used Periea storage containers for clothing/sweaters on closet shelves. I have also used pull out under bed storage containers from Amazon.

For some great storage ideas Google or on Amazon search for RV Storage Organization, there are literally hundreds of ideas, gadgets and containers. Good Luck with it! I just can't get to the point of getting rid of things!

We used tubs from Walmart and Target. They were easy for one person to carry and marked contents on the outside.

Also easy to stack anywhere until ready to empty them. Nested together when empty.

I use big, fiberglass-like IKEA zippered duffle bags I get on Amazon for storing excess or out of season clothing and linens.  They take up much less space than a box or bin.  Cheap and handy.  Great for moving too.

Still trying to find ideas, wonder if using a very large ,deck box people use outdoors,would work in a house, for storing blankets, pillows in a extra room?

I found a storage bench to be an invaluable place to store pillows and linens in a guest bedroom.  You might have to use a compression/vacuum bag to help all of the items fit.

I even have one inside the walk-in closet in my primary bedroom to hold bulky sweaters.  It's a great place to sit to put on shoes and socks.  I even use it as a surface on which to fold undies after they are laundered.

@goldensrbest  -  I like the "under the bed" clear plastic tubs.  I purchased mine from Walmart.

Drawer dividers to help segment off sections. The limit of what we keep is the boundary of each section.  Invested in built-in drawers, shelves & limited hanging space in our main closet. Also a boundary of what we can hold onto/acquire. Tip: in place of nighstands, we use small 3-drawer chests. Keeps the tops clear of "stuff" and lets us store things frequently used.

Pop-It Heavy Duty racks lined up side-by-side like library shelves (short end along the wall, not the long end along the wall) with weathertight totes for seasonal decor, pet supplies and emergency/storm supplies in the garage. More storage than we could ever fill & are slowly weeding through what we truly want to keep with each holiday.

Also invested in built-in window seats in two rooms for drawer storage. In the bedroom, for medical equipment, towels & bed linens. In the living room/dining room for table linens and blankets.

In your pantry, take a look at the depth of your shelves. Most pantry shelves around here are builder-grade, standard 12" deep. Re-did ours to 18" deep. We currently use multi-purpose bins for pantry storage (boundaries of what we can buy) for each cateogry -- breakfasts, grains, snacks, canned goods, etc. We also use multi-purpose bins in our freezer.
