Now
that the New Year is here, it is time to get organized and enjoy your home
again! Organizing can be a challenge for many, and a frustrating chore that can
make you not want to do it all. Instead, of being frustrated, I will show you
10 organizing tips that will boost your confidence to want to organize, and
make your home look fantastic in the process. Let’s get you and your home
organized!
1. Kitchen organizing
Your kitchen is one of the most
used rooms in the house, but is also where multiple family members must share
at once, and therefore organization is essential. I find that when you good
kitchen organization, it makes you want to be in the kitchen, preparing
sensational meals.
Ensure all utensils have a place.
From canisters that sit on the counter, to hanging and drawer organizers,
everything should be easily identifiable, and look good too. Consider putting
labels on spice jars, shelves, and containers to make identifying easy.
2. Sewing corner
Your sewing corner should have
plenty of space to spread out, and should have organization that is functional
while you are sewing. Take advantage of vertical wall space to hang supplies,
and use walls to display materials, patterns, and swatches of material. The
more you can display and have at arms reach, the better.
3. A place for ribbons
Whether you are a crafter that
uses ribbon, or you keep it around for gift wrapping, ribbon can be a challenge
to keep from unraveling, and still have it displayed beautifully. Look at these
creative ideas for keeping it organized, and viewable at a glance.
4. Organized paper storage
Paper clutter is one of the
biggest culprits of why we can’t keep our homes organized. Determine which
papers are essential to file, which ones can be thrown away, and which ones
should be kept at close reach. There are numerous trunks, filing cabinets, and
colorful boxes to file your papers away in. Find one that matches your style,
decor and filing needs. Don’t forget to purge first!
5. Messy cords. Never again
In our electronic driven world,
there is no wonder cords are everywhere! If you’re like me, you have a device
for everything, and the cords are creating an unattractive site at your home.
Cord management products are out there that can be used below your desk, at the
back of your desk, or you can make do it yourself varieties too. Look how these
binder clips make creative and inexpensive ways to hold your computer cords.
6. Scarf display and
organization
Womens
accessories can be a handful to keep up with, and to be able to view all of
them at once. Scarves displayed on hangers, hung on hooks, and hung on closet
door racks can be a great way to see exactly what you have, and reach for the
perfect scarf, when you need it.
7. Bathroom storage tips
Let’s
face it ladies, the bathroom is the one room that we want to be able to get in
and out, especially when waking up in the morning. Good bathroom organization
can add minutes back into your morning… instead of wasting them in the
bathroom. Keep curling irons, and hair dryers in easy PVC tubes on the back of
your cabinet door. Use neatly labeled baskets or clear bins to separate small
hair accessories, and makeup. Affix a magnet strip to your cabinet for a quick and
neat area for hair bobby pins!
8. Jewelry organizing
Keep
your resolution to get organized this year by starting in your jewelry area.
Whether you have a large or small collection of jewelry, utilize hooks, wall
organizers that double as picture frames, or come up with your own DIY
organizers. If you have a bust, or sewing mannequin, they make great places to
hold your jewelry beautifully.
9. Organizing cleaning
supplies
Cleaning
supplies, detergents, and cleaning clothes need an organized place to be
stored. Cabinets are the top choice, and hanging a vertical pole beneath your
sink, can capitalize on vertical storage space. Small baskets can separate
small cleaning items, scour pads, and sponges. If you have space install small hooks
inside the cabinet and hand dusters, and dust pans out of the way!
10. Garage organizing
storage solutions
Don’t
forget the garage. This room of your house tends to be the most forgotten, but
can make the difference in how well you can fit your car into it. Even if your
garage doesn’t house your car, most likely it is home to seasonal decorations, recreational
accessories, and garden supplies. Determine what activities and storage your
garage needs to house, and specify shelving, drawers, hooks, and hanging
ceiling storage for large bikes, and lawn equipment.
