Organizing your home has never been easier! If you’re like most people, your home is probably in need of a good declutter. But where do you start? And how do you keep your home organized once you’ve decluttered it? Luckily, we’ve got some tips to help you out!
1. Get rid of anything you don’t need or use.
This is the first and most important step in decluttering your home. If you don’t need it or haven’t used it in the past year, get rid of it!
2. Invest in some good quality storage containers.
This will help you to keep your belongings organized and tidy.
3. Create a space for everything.
When everything has a place, it’s easier to keep things tidy.
4. Keep your surfaces clear.
Clutter creates visual frustration, so keep flat surfaces clear of any non-essential items.
5. Put things back in their rightful place.
This will help you to maintain an organized home.
6. Group like items together.
This will make it easier to find things and it will also look much neater. Storage baskets are perfect for this.
7. Purge your closet on a regular basis.
Make sure to get rid of any clothes that you don’t wear, as well as items that are damaged or no longer fit.
8. Don’t let things pile up
If you have something that needs to go in the recycling bin, don’t let it sit in the corner of the room, put it in the bin.
9. Keep your fridge and pantry organized.
This can be tricky because they are places where things get added and removed often. But if you stick to a system, it will be much easier to maintain an organized pantry and fridge.
10. Have a place for everything in your bedroom
This includes not only the clothes but also, the books, magazines and other random items that tend to accumulate in bedrooms.
11. Keep your bathroom clean and clutter-free
Often, bathrooms become a dumping ground for excess items and clutter. This can be avoided with a bit of planning.
12. Get the whole family involved in the decluttering process.
It’s important for everyone in the house to be involved in order for the house to stay organized.
13. Schedule some “me” time to relax and recharge.
This isn’t necessarily a tip for organizing your home but it’s definitely important when you’re trying to keep on top of household chores. Taking the time to relax and recharge will help you to stay motivated.
