Getting your homes in order isn’t just a new trend. It’s a way to live for the rest of your life that has many benefits. Getting as well as staying organized at home is something you should try to do because it can save you time, money, stress, and even problems with your relationships. It can be hard when you have problems, like not enough space to store things or a full schedule. But it’s not impossible either.
Professional organizers use tips and tricks to make the most of and make sense of each area of a home. Your bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen should all be easy to get around in so you don’t waste time looking for things and therefore can spend more time enjoying your space.
Accept Unoccupied Space
This is among the most important things you can do to keep things in order. Make sure to declutter your home on a regular basis, leaving at least one-third of your drawers, cabinets, and closets empty (or as close to that number as you can get) to make room for new things. Over time, you’ll need to add things, whether it’s a few new clothes for a job or some extra food for the pantry.
Gather Your Cables
Cord management is an area of home organization that is often forgotten. Keeping cords and cables in order can make a big difference in how well your home is put together. You can keep cables organized in any room by using zip ties, cord catchers, and bundlers. This is helpful for TVs and game systems in particular.
Use the Space Under Beds
A small closet giving you trouble? If you need more room to store things, look under your bed. Find shallow organizers which it rolls in and out easily, and then put your clothes and shoes from the off-season or extra bed linens in them. If the bed frame is just too low to store things, add some risers.
Storage in the Garage Vertical
If you don’t have much space for storage, think about garage systems that make the most of vertical space. Put up racks that hang from the ceiling to keep things off the floor and out of the way. Use the space above your head to store holiday decorations or sports gear like skis until you need them.
Create Your Own Pegboard
Pegboards aren’t just for tools inside the garage or shed, though those are one of the best ways to store screwdrivers as well as garden shears. You can also hang your jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, on a pegboard. Or, you could use one to hold scissors, gift wrap, or ribbon in your craft or work space.
Using boxes and bins to organize
One of the best ways to keep organized is to keep things in their places. This hides clutter and limits how much you can own. This is a great way to keep areas that get a lot of use clean. For example, look for boxes and bins and are just the right size to hold folded blankets, magazines, and other living room bits and bobs. Put them in a row underneath a low sofa table to store them quickly.
Include an Island
With a rolling trolley in the kitchen, you can make more room on the counter and store more things. Built-in drawers and open shelves make it easy to store things in the kitchen. Add a pegboard with one side to hang baking tools and hooks to the other side for dish towels as well as oven mitts.
Install floating shelves
Adding a few shelves can help you stay more organized in almost every room. Also, it’s always a good idea to make use of vertical space. You can hang some open shelving inside the bathroom to hold toiletries you use every day or in the kitchen to organize your spices.
Organize your kitchen
As the most used area of a home, the kitchen needs to be well-organized to keep things from getting out of hand. Start by making use of the space you already have. Use a freestanding storage unit as a pantry, or hang shelves in your pantry to make the most of the space on the walls. Use storage bins, clear jars, as well as labels to help you keep your cabinets and pantry more organized.
Optimize a Tiny Bathroom
Give your small bathroom the treatment of a star by organizing it well. Add storage units, like shelves, a vanity with lots of drawers, or an over organizer, that make the most of the space as well as make it easy to get things when you’re in a hurry in the morning. A lot can be done to keep things in bathroom cabinets organized with containers and labels.
Keep Your Closet Clear of Clutter
Your bedroom closet is among the most personal places in your home. It should be set up in a way which then works best for you. You can store foldable items and underwear in sliding drawers as well as storage baskets, and there is enough vertical space to hang clothes. At the bottom of the closet, a freestanding shelf gives you more space for shoes.
