The Pantry
It may be an odd place to start from, but there’s so much you can do with it to make it look a lot tidier and joyful. Perhaps, it will bring some memories of your old grandma’s house. In our busy daily life we often just throw jars and packs in the pantry. Instead, use clearly labeled transparent containers for most of your long-life products like cereals, rice, flour, sugar, coffee, tea and so on. Not only it looks neat, it helps you keep an eye on all our supplies and restock before you run out.
The Laundry Room
Most people don’t pay too much attention to the laundry room, because no one ever spends more than a few minutes in it. But that doesn’t mean it should look cluttered and unpleasant. Even if you don’t have much space in the room, try to mount some shelves and even a small cupboard on the wall. There you can keep your detergents and other laundry supplies. Add color to the place. A summer theme may be a great idea as the association with sunny, weather and a beach holiday uplifts the mood. It may stimulate you to do the laundry more often.
The Children’s Room
Here we go… this is usually the messiest of all places in every home, especially with very young children or teenagers. The best solution here are multifunctional storage units. A good example is the storage bench. It’s name tells you what purposes it serves. Use the baskets to store toys, shoes or clothes for your child. If siblings are sharing a room, labelling is a must-do if you want to keep the space organized. Kids love stickers anyway so just put their names or favorite colors on their side of the room and closet.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is the busiest room in a house on most occasions. Yes, even if you don’t cook regularly. There are so many small items that easily clutter the space and make it look really messy. Here are a few clever organization ideas:
- Pin the plastic bag boxes to the inner side of the pantry door
- Use a paper / magazine holder to store your chopping boards
- Put a rotary food tray for the fridge
The Living Room
By definition, the living room is the most organized one, because everything has its place and it stay there. Except for the really small things like phone chargers and remote controls. We’ve got some amazing hacks for those:
- Label each charger and put them in a small box that’s also labeled for easy identification
- Have a remote control box with sections for every remote control. Again, use labels.
In addition, get a wicker trunk to use both as a sitting place (when you have more visitors) and storage.
