Home Organization Tips and Hacks
decorative image
A well-organized home can reduce stress, improve productivity, and create a more pleasant living environment. Here are some top tips to help you declutter and organize your space.

Pretty Pegboard Start Small and Prioritize
Begin with a small, manageable area such as a single drawer or a closet. Prioritize spaces that cause the most stress or disruption in your daily routine. By tackling these areas first, you can see immediate improvements that motivate you to continue.

Use the Three-Box Method
  • Keep: Items you use regularly and love.
  • Donate/Sell: Items in good condition that you no longer need.
  • Trash: Broken or unusable items.
This method helps you make quick decisions and keeps you organized during the decluttering process.

Maximize Vertical Space
Install shelves, hooks, and pegboards to store items off the floor and clear counter spaces. This technique is especially useful in small spaces like bathrooms and kitchens.

Invest in Multi-Functional Furniture
Multi-functional furniture can provide extra storage and save space. Consider ottomans with hidden storage, beds with built-in drawers, and fold-out desks. These pieces are perfect for maximizing space in smaller homes or apartments.

Label Everything
Labeling is a simple yet effective way to stay organized. Use labels on boxes, bins, and shelves to easily identify where items belong. This is particularly helpful for forgetful family members, ensuring everyone knows where to find and return things.

Implement the One-In-One-Out Rule
To prevent clutter from accumulating, adopt the one-in-one-out rule. For every new item you bring into your home, remove one item. This rule helps maintain balance and prevents your space from becoming overcrowded.

Utilize Clear Storage Containers
They allow you to see what’s inside without opening them, saving time and reducing clutter. Use them in your pantry, closet, and garage to keep items visible and easily accessible.

Create a Command Center
A command center is a dedicated space for managing household tasks, schedules, and paperwork. Use a wall-mounted organizer or a small desk area with a calendar, mail sorter, and bulletin board. This centralizes important information and keeps your household running smoothly. 

Declutter Regularly
Make decluttering a regular habit rather than a one-time event. Set aside time each month to go through your belongings and remove items you no longer need. This routine maintenance prevents clutter from building up and keeps your home organized.

Home organization doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By starting small, prioritizing, and using these practical tips and hacks, you can create a more organized, stress-free living space. Remember, the key is consistency – regularly declutter and tidy up to maintain a clutter-free home. Happy organizing!

Congratulations to my clients who made moves this month. Thank you for your business and your trust in me. 

Sincerely,
Mary
