To keep your home clutter-free, make it easy for your family members to get rid of messes. This means developing habits and making little choices to make the task much easier. Once you’ve gotten used to living in a clutter-free home, you won’t have a hard time keeping it that way.
Below are some stylish ways to avoid clutter at home.
Closed storage
Open shelving may look nice aesthetically, but the truth is, it’s not always the best way to keep things organized. If you have a lot of valuables, it’s better to stay away from open shelving and hide your stuff behind drawers and closet doors. Closed storage units can look as great when done right.
Pullout shelves in the kitchen
Free up space in your kitchen by making sure that all counter spaces are clear, and appliances like blender and oven have designated space. If you don’t have room for appliances, consider turning some counter space into a nook for them.
Foyer as shoe organizer
Storing shoes in a foyer is a practical move since foyers are the only rooms in a house where it makes sense for guests to kick off their shoes. Putting them in open shelvings allows shoes and boots to breathe while keeping them organised at the same time.
Hidden closet under the stairs
Under the steps or behind a door is always a great place to hide stuff. However, you need to organize that space or it’s going to become a pile of mess. Put pullouts under the stairs to keep stuff organized and easy to access. You can then put shoes or other items that are normally used in the living area.
Built-in drawers in kids’ rooms
Do you have little kids at home and you want extra storage for their things? Have built-in drawers installed under their bed so they can have a safe place for their clothes or toys.
Takeaway
Deciding what to do with each object in your home, whether to keep it or toss it, is a good start in your decluttering strategy. Donate, recycle, or sell undesirable items — or keep the items at home and give them their designated place.
