5 Best Decluttering Tips to Get Your Home in Order

No matter how organized you are, there comes a moment in everyone’s life when we realize our house is filled with too much… Too much clothing, furniture, kitchen towels, potted plants, you name it! This is why decluttering now and then is essential to keep your home in order. A space that feels organized and tidy transmits calmness and serenity. This is paramount when, after a long day of hectic activity and working, we turn to our homes for relaxation and peace. We want our house to be our haven, not a place that sets us on edge.  Consider these decluttering tips to get your home back in order!

1) Let It Go

In order to achieve all your decluttering goals, it is paramount that you commit yourself to the change. Imagine yourself living your ideal lifestyle and discard anything that you don’t need! The first tip and the most important one is: do not hoard stuff. The truth is, we don’t need half of the items that we own, so the logical approach is to first discard all the things that are not essential to your happiness or that you don’t really need.

One tip is to think categories rather than going on a location basis. If you have clothing in different rooms, do a decluttering swipe on all the clothes by piling it all together on top of your bed and separating it in piles of what stays and what goes.

2) Organize in Dividers

Once you have let go of the extra stuff, work on folding and organizing what you have in a way that it is all reachable and visible. A great option for organizing your drawers is to use bamboo box set dividers. You can use them to store your lingerie, your pencils, or small toys, there is an infinite list of possibilities to fit in them.

If you want to focus on your kitchen, think of all the times you wanted something from a drawer and couldn’t find it because of the mess. Drawer dividers are essential to keep things from flying sideways, try these bamboo dividers that adapt to any length drawers. Why do we insist on bamboo wood? Bamboo has many amazing properties. It shows less shrinkage and swelling than traditional woods and the texture is very uniform.

3) Vertical Storage

If you are thinking of adding storage space to your rooms, think vertically, and make the most of tall roofs and wall space. Floating shelves are a great choice for creating extra storage space in any room while also adding dimension to your walls.

4) Labeling and Tossing Out

The key to decluttering and organizing any space is to establish order. This can be achieved on any cupboard or pantry you want to set to rights. You can label stuff that no one recognizes, put things in dividers and most importantly, toss anything that is expired! This goes for your bathroom too, check all of those extra toiletries you keep just in case.

5) Have a Clean View

We have mentioned your clothing and your drawers but let’s now take a step back and think about the room as a whole. Are your countertops and tables filled with things on top of them? Do you have toys lying about on the floor? If so, you might be in need of a couple of storage baskets. These are the best option for kids to learn to put away their things and they don’t require a lot in terms of storage themselves. You might even be able to fit them under a couch, bed, or in the corner of your kids’ room.
