Here are 10 practical tips to create an organized home—designed to help you reduce clutter, save time, and feel more in control of your space:
1. Declutter First
Before organizing, go through each space and get rid of what you don’t need. Use the "keep, donate, toss" method. If you haven’t used it in the last year, you probably don’t need it.
2. Start Small
Focus on one drawer, one shelf, or one room at a time. Starting small prevents overwhelm and builds momentum.
3. Create a Home for Everything
Assign a specific spot for items you use regularly. This makes cleanup easier and prevents things from being misplaced.
4. Use Clear Storage Bins
Clear bins help you see what you have at a glance. Label them for added clarity (especially in pantries, closets, or garages).
5. Maximize Vertical Space
Use shelves, hooks, over-the-door organizers, and tall furniture to take advantage of wall space and reduce floor clutter.
6. Adopt a Daily Reset Routine
Spend 10–15 minutes at the end of each day tidying up high-traffic areas (kitchen, living room, entryway). It prevents mess from piling up.
7. Control Paper Clutter
Create a command center for incoming mail, bills, school papers, and receipts. Go digital when possible to reduce physical paperwork.
8. Use Drawer Dividers
In bathrooms, kitchens, and offices, drawer organizers help keep small items tidy and easy to find.
9. Rotate Seasonal Items
Store off-season clothes, gear, and décor in labeled bins. Keep only what’s relevant to the current season accessible.
10. Be Consistent
Organization isn’t one-and-done—it’s a habit. Stick to your systems, and review your spaces every few months to adjust as needed.
