10 Tips To Home Organization
If you are looking for the perfect home
organization plan, consider starting small and working your way up
to the larger projects. A few simple tips will get you on the way to
home organization at its finest.
Tip 1:
Use a flatware tray for utensils and place it neatly in a kitchen
drawer. This will keep every utensil separate and will make it easy
to find the one you want in a matter of seconds.
Tip 2:
Organize your favorite recipes in alphabetical order for quick
reference. This can be done using note cards and a note card box or
a binder with alphabetical separators.
Tip 3:
If you have a large number of VHS or DVD movies, consider a media
unit to neatly store your collection. If feasible, select a wooden
unit for strength and a pleasant appearance as opposed to
inexpensive, plastic units.
Tip 4:
When storing away your seasonal clothes, don’t just hang them in the
closet until next year. Instead, purchase a large plastic lidded
storage tub and place your seasonal clothes neatly inside. Rather
than folding, try rolling your clothes as this will reduce wrinkles
and fold lines. In addition, it will save a lot of space. Place the
storage tub in the floor of your closet and label the tub according
to the clothing inside.
Tip 5:
Are you always losing pens and/or pencils? If so, consider using a
coffee mug for neat and easy storage of your pens and/or pencils.
Everyone has a coffee mug and this is a much more whimsy way of
storing your writing utensils rather than a typical pen/pencil
holder.
Tip 6:
Be sure to throw out any old magazines and/or newspapers. The best
way to store them is a handled basket next to the sofa. However,
this unit needs to be cleaned regularly in order to avoid any
unsightly clutter.
Tip 7:
It is a good idea to keep all important papers, including deeds,
titles and tax papers in a fireproof protective box. This box should
also feature a lock & key and can be placed anywhere in the house.
Most individuals place this underneath their bed.
Tip 8:
If you have any items that you no longer want, consider donating
them to a local non-profit agency. This will save space and you will
be doing a good deed.
Tip 9:
In order to avoid clutter, it may be necessary to throw away certain
types of mail. This may include credit card offers, but don’t just
throw them out without first shredding the letters. Identity theft
is a huge problem and using a paper shredder on any bills or credit
card offers will prevent anyone from ever gaining access to your
private financial information.
Tip 10:
Make sure that your kitchen is neatly organized with all appliances
close to an electrical outlet. You don’t want to have power cords
running across the countertop and you will find that the microwave,
toaster and coffee maker all in one location will be very
convenient.
