Keep reading to discover their top five home organisation tips to banish clutter from your living spaces…
1. Start with a clear-out
The best way to stay on top of your household organisation is to reduce the number of belongings you need to organise in the first place!
Go through one room at a time, assessing what you still want to keep and what you can probably get rid of. If you tend to hoard things out of sentimentality, ask yourself whether you’ve picked up an object in the last year and, if not, consider storing it or donating it to charity.
Remember, getting rid of stuff doesn’t mean you can’t invest in new things. Just try to limit unnecessary purchases by adopting a ‘one in, one out’ rule.
2. Use drawer and shelf trays
One of our favourite home organisation tips is to use shelf dividers to tidy everyday objects.
These are great for organising cluttered bedroom and bathroom vanities, or for keeping fridges clean and tidy. By neatly storing your food, drinks and other household items, it’s much easier to see what you have — helping you to get more out of your belongings, reduce waste and save time looking for what you need.
3. Create a spice rack
Do you have dozens of half-finished herbs and spices taking over your kitchen counters? Try making them more organised by using a wall-mounted spice rack.
There are a variety of stylish and affordable options available, allowing you to decant your favourite seasonings into uniform jars that are easy to access and keep out of the way. This is a simple way to elevate your kitchen storage whilst saving space and ensuring all your most-used ingredients are always within reach.
4. Label everything!
This is one of those home organisation tips that you’ve probably heard before but might not have tried yet. Our Farnham home cleaning experts can confirm that it does in fact help you keep your home tidy!
Clearly labelling your storage spaces can also make it easier for other people in your home to clear up after themselves, fostering a cleaner and more relaxing living environment.
If you don’t have a label maker, use a Sharpie pen, Post-it sticky notes or tie-on labels to signpost designated places for different items. Additionally, it might help to store some objects in clear containers to make it easy to see what should go where — saving precious time every day.
5. Create a ‘drop zone’
Did you know that one in five drivers misplace their car keys at least once a week? According to a survey of Brits, that equates to 1,460 minutes a year wasted looking for those pesky little things!
To avoid losing everyday items such as keys, wallets and shopping bags, try creating a convenient place to put them. Not only can this help you keep your surfaces free of clutter, but it’ll also save you lots of time (and stress) when you’re in a rush to leave the house.
