If 2015 was a year full of clutter inside the home for you, here are some small tips and hacks to make things more organized this 2016.
Real Simple says that before organizing things inside the home, the process of deciding on which items to keep must be done. Clutter usually occurs when there are unnecessary items inside the home. The site also explained that organization of things is only possible when things that are not important are discarded. After everything is sorted out, the cleaning and organizing can now begin.
To make sure that the kitchen is always organized and clean, experts suggest that it is important to keep only necessary items on the counters and around the sink so that these places can be wiped clean regularly. Considering that cooking can be messy, kitchen counters should be free of items to make cleaning easier. To store other items that are used for cooking, a roll-away storage can be more convenient and also classy. This item can also be used in the bathroom and even in the bedroom as it can be stored anywhere inside the house.
Good Housekeeping also suggests using clear containers which can be fancy and creative. They can be placed in cupboards or cluttered closets, and it is also important to use labels to avoid future clutter.
Other tips from the site include adding storage behind doors. This usually works well in bathrooms where bottles of shampoos, conditioners and toothpastes can be easily stored. It is also perfect for small-spaced bedrooms where other items like toys can be stored in custom dividers at the back of the door.
The key in organizing stuff at home is to maximize the space for storage. It is also important to assess the things at home first before going out shopping for containers or furniture.
