A well-organized home not only looks great but also contributes to a stress-free and efficient lifestyle. Let’s take inspiration from the popular Netflix show, “The Home Edit”, to help transform your home from messy to marvelous! If you have ever watched the show, hosts Clea Shearer and Joanna Teflon are pros at decluttering homes and creating spaces that are both beautiful and visually appealing.
Tips For Your New Year, New Home Organization
What are 5 easy places to start, according to The Home Edit team? Consider hitting these common areas where clutter often begins: the junk drawer, the medicine cabinet, under sink areas and makeup vanities. Start organizing those areas first and you have begun the small steps needed to break the clutter habit. How do you begin organizing? They recommend the same 3 step process every time: Remove, Categorize Like Items, Pare Down. By using this process, you have a system to follow to create organized groupings of only those wanted items.
Additionally, here are some practical tips from the Nest to get your New Year, New Home Organization in tip-top shape for the year ahead:
- Declutter Room by Room: Start small by decluttering one room at a time, one drawer at a time! Take your time — there is no time limit. Do what you can, when you can. Donate or discard items you no longer need, and create designated spaces for everything.
- Set Realistic Goals: Make a list of specific organizational goals for each room. Whether it’s clearing out messy drawers, decluttering your closets, editing your pantry or setting up an efficient home office, having clear goals each day will keep you focused.
- Invest in Storage Solutions: Consider storage solutions that fit your space and needs. Utilize baskets, shelves, and storage bins to keep items neatly tucked away. This will help finding a home for specific items. Don’t forget to label containers if needed for easy identification.
- Holiday Storage Goals: Don’t forget to organize holiday items, which are often thrown into big boxes during post-holiday clean up. Spending some time organizing during downtime will result in less stress during the next busy holiday season!
- Stay Consistent: Organization is an ongoing process. Set aside some time each week to maintain the order you’ve established. Small time commitments is all you need. Consistency is key to a well-organized home.
