Anna’s Top 5 Organizing Tips

Keeping your home organized can be daunting, but with the right strategies, it becomes manageable and enjoyable. Here are our top five organization tips to help you transform your home into a more organized and relaxed space.

1. Declutter Regularly

The first step to achieving a well-organized home is decluttering regularly. Take the time to go through the rooms in your home and identify belongings that you no longer use. Donate, sell, or recycle these items to free up space in your home. Remember, less clutter means less to clean and organize.

2. Invest in Storage Solutions

Investing in storage solutions can make a world of difference in keeping your home organized. Consider utilizing storage bins, baskets, shelves, and containers to neatly store items and make it easier to find them when needed. Opt for multifunctional furniture pieces that offer hidden storage compartments, such as ottomans with built-in storage or beds with drawers underneath.

3. Create Functional Areas

Creating designated areas for different activities and items that you enjoy or use regularly can streamline
your organizational efforts. Designate specific areas for activities like reading, family game night,
or working from home. Additionally, create areas for commonly used items such as keys, mail,
and shoes to prevent clutter from accumulating in high-traffic areas.

4. Focus On One Room Or Space At A Time

By focusing on an area or a room at a time, you can prevent feeling overwhelmed and make more progress over time. We suggest setting goals for when you would like to work on each area. For example, this weekend, I am going to tackle the pantry, which has become cluttered and disorganized.

5. Label Bins and Storage Containers

So often, we end up with storage bins and containers taking up different areas of our homes and garages and tend to forget what was even in them. Labelling is a simple yet effective organization tool that can help you and your family members easily locate items and keep things organized. First, organize the items into categories such as Christmas, party supplies, winter gear, etc. Then, put them in a storage container and clearly label them. Invest in a label maker or use adhesive labels to mark storage bins and containers clearly.
