Have you been thinking of ways to simplify things in your life? Want to start by decluttering and organizing your home? You may find that implementing some simple practices in your home may feed into other areas of your life. Trade Mark Interiors is sharing tips and tricks to organize your home.
Declutter
First, start by making it a habit to declutter regularly by purging items you no longer need or use. You can start in the areas that feel a little overwhelming each time you look at that room or space. If you can’t remember the last time you have used the item or worn that article of clothing… …ahem like those pairs of jeans you have stored in the back of your closet and haven’t worn in over 10 years. Donate them! Keep the things you wear regularly, use regularly, and/or that are essential and meaningful to you.
Multi-Functional Furniture
Utilizing multi-functional furniture can be especially helpful if you have limited space in your home. Or if you don’t necessarily have lots of built-in storage space in your home. You can do this by creating a little nook in your home that serves as seating as well as storage. This is perfect for things like housing board games, blankets, or kids’ toys. Another way to do this is by taking advantage of the space at the foot of your bed. There are upholstered ottomans or storage trunks that you can get to hold clean sheets, blankets, or even sweaters that you don’t necessarily need year-round.
Other Storage Solutions
Do you have trouble finding things in your closets, cabinets, or in your pantry? Make use of baskets or containers that help to keep things nice and tidy in your closets, cabinets, or pantry. Use labels on containers for the staple items in your pantry like sugar, flour, pasta, spices, and various cereals. It truly makes life easier and you will be happy to see the tidy pantry (closet or cabinet) every time you open the door.
Quick Tips On Keeping Your Home Clean
Take 10-15 minutes every day to pick up and put away things that are left out on the counter or in various areas of your home. Wipe down counters and other surfaces in your home. Make sure everyone does their part in this 10-15 minute clean-up time (even kids, they can put their toys in the toy storage you created). That way when it comes to the weekend or on your days off of work you have time to do the things you enjoy!
