Home Organisation Tips

The last thing you want in your new space is to cover it up with clutter and mess. Keeping your home tidy and organised can be transformative for your lifestyle and mind, clearing up space so you can focus on the things that matter. Make the most of your sleek new space with these simple home organisation tips.

Have a Plan.

Trying to tackle an entire household of disorder at once is just not feasible. You’ll quickly become overwhelmed and give up on your home organisation journey. Starting with a plan will help you prioritise exactly which parts of your home need the most attention. Whether you are going to work room by room or are starting small by clearing out your junk drawers, planning your process will ensure a smooth, stress-free experience.

Work Slowly.

Organising your entire home can be an enormous, daunting task, especially when you think about it as one big project. Separating your tidying into smaller jobs, like clearing one cupboard per day, will make your organisation less scary and more achievable. If you approach organisation as one small box on your checklist every single day, it will be much more manageable.

Document Your Home Organisation.

Take a before-and-after photo of each area as you work. Seeing a side-by-side comparison will underscore your achievements and embolden you to keep working at it! Let a simple photograph inspire you to keep tackling your mess!

Declutter, Declutter, Declutter

To declutter is to be ruthless. Assess each of your belongings one at a time, and determine whether it is something you need or if you’re holding onto it for no real reason. That means sorting through your wardrobe and working out if you really need that dress you last wore over a year ago or if the charity shop might get more use out of it. Toss all of your expired cosmetics, cleaning products, and anything damaged or worn. Try to be realistic about the things that you actually want in your home and only keep things that are genuinely functional or hold sentimental value.

Invest in Storage

Once you have tossed everything that needed to be tossed, you can start repopulating your home with storage solutions aimed at keeping everything in order. Keeping your home tidy can be as simple as removing clutter from view and allowing your décor to shine. Using boxes, baskets, trays, and containers will help you categorise your belongings, sort out your messy drawers, and add some structure to your home. If you have a pile of throw blankets in your living area, fold them neatly into a blanket box or basket. Not only will they still be accessible when you need them, but it’ll also mean less distraction from your curated décor! Similarly, if you have a kitchen drawer full of assorted odds and ends, try investing in a drawer tray to keep your things categorised and readily available.

Clear Your Surfaces

Clearing your surfaces of clutter is a powerfully impactful organisation tip. Your room will suddenly look fresher and smarter, and it will be more functional! In the kitchen, keep your spices and oils off the bench by grouping them together in a drawer tray or spice rack, and invest in wall or hanging storage solutions to ensure your counter remains practical. In the bedroom or living room, strip your end tables of anything that doesn’t belong there or doesn’t add anything to the space.

Style With Care

Styling is the fun part of any home organisation process. You can add life and personality to your room with a pop of texture or colour to your freshly decluttered space. But styling mindfully is the key to ensuring your decorations don’t just become more cluttered. You should choose your surface decorations carefully, considering whether they will be functional in that space and whether they align with your overall interior style sensibilities. Any practical but unsightly items can be packed away in baskets and trays so you can still reach them, but they won’t be taken away from your curated interior design. When it comes to styling, less is more.

Home organisation is a process

Home organization takes time, effort, and persistence. Keep your home immaculate by decluttering regularly and putting things away correctly. Without regular attention to organisation, clutter will build up again. Setting aside time every day to tidy up, assess items you no longer need, and review the best use for your space will help you stay on top of your interior organisation. With a bit of regular effort, your home will remain sleek and orderly for years to come.
