Living in a perfectly organized home may seem like a difficult standard to meet. However, you need to apply only a few tips to reach this goal without any problems. We have come up with some unusual tips for a perfectly organized home and some useful practices to find more space in it. Explore our suggestions in detail and choose those in line with your specific preferences, taste, and style.
Everything starts with decluttering
Clutter is the enemy number one in every home. Unfortunately, we can rarely help piling up the items we are emotionally attached to, although we do not use them anymore. If you find it difficult to donate, sell, or throw out some of these items, you might want to consider all aspects of renting a self-storage unit and storing away your excess belongings.
First eliminate clutter
Self-storage units will keep your items safe and easily accessible whenever you need them again. Make sure you pack your possessions properly and remember to label the boxes, as it will be much easier to find the item you want when the need arises. Most importantly, this does not have to be a costly investment. Many companies rent self-storage at an affordable rate, so your home budget will not suffer.
Here are the unusual tips to consider
Even when you transport some of your items to the self-storage unit you have rented, there are still many steps to take before you get a perfectly organized home. We have tried to brainstorm for solutions that are practical, cheap, and easy to apply.
”One in, one out” rule
When kids are in the house, there are myriads of different toys in various sizes and shapes that parents need to organize. No storage space will be enough to bring order if you do not apply the “one in, one out” rule. Teach your kids that the space in your home is limited and that getting a new toy means they will have to give up on an old one. You can put it in a box designated for the self-storage unit or donate some of these old toys to a charity or a friend in need.
The “one in, one out” rule does not have to be used only when toys are everywhere around your home. You can apply it to eliminate excess clothes or any other type of item that your family members tend to accumulate.
Organizing toys might be complicated without applying the "one in, one out" rule.
Repurpose and organize
Some of your possessions can be repurposed to become very good organizers. Old trays and bowls, for instance, can eliminate the chaos in some of your drawers. Put a non-slip mat at the bottom first and then use trays and bowls to organize the items.
Similarly, you can use decorative magazine holders to organize your bathroom. These holders are perfect for your hair styling tools like brushes, hairdryers, stylers, and so on.
If you have an old metal shower caddy you want to replace, do not throw it away. It will be perfect for your kitchen to keep some vegetables, spices, or canned food. If necessary, you can refresh it with a new coat of paint, and you get a nice, tiny, and convenient kitchen shelf in a few steps.
If you are more fond of knitting than wine, an old wine rack can solve all your problems with organizing knitting equipment. Instead of storing bottles, use the rack for colorful yarns and knitting needles. You will get a nice-looking and surprisingly beautiful element in your living space.
Get the most of the narrow spaces in your home
Generally, we do not pay too much attention to these narrow spaces in our homes. It might not seem easy to give them a purpose, but it is manageable. Slim cabinets on wheels in your kitchen between the fridge and the wall, for example, are perfect for cans, spices, even cups, and glasses. Also, these cabinets can be used in the bathroom for keeping cosmetics or towels and can easily fit the narrow space between the dryer and washing machine, for example.
Use narrow cabinets in the kitchen to organize spices or canned food.
You will love sneak cabinets
Sneak cabinets can be used literary everywhere – your living room, bedroom, study, even bathroom. They can display art when closed or be turned into a mirror. Your visitors may not even notice that the painting or the mirror on your wall hides a miniature storage space, so these cabinets can be used for storing valuable items as well.
Bring order to your closets
Our list of tips for a perfectly organized home would be incomplete without a few suggestions regarding the organization of your closets. To get more space and keep your clothing items and accessories neat and tidy, there are a few strategies you can apply. Firstly, you can hook two hangers together with a can tab. This will provide you with twice as much available space. Also, use shower rings on hangers and put up to ten scarves on a single hanger. You can do the same with belts or handbags.
Get creative and organize
Our unusual tips for a perfectly organized home should give you a hint on how to get the best of your living space. They should also inspire you to experiment and discover some new strategies for organizing your things. Be creative, repurpose, indulge yourself in various DIY projects, and explore. Make your living space appealing, comfortable, and clutter-free so you can enjoy the ambiance.
