From Chaos to Clarity: How to Get Organized with Tried and Tested Systems and Strategies
Creating Systems and Strategies to
Optimize Home Storage
Now that you’ve cleared all the junk, I mean clutter, from your home it’s time to get your storage game on point. By using systems crafted for your storage needs, you can forget about the time wasted searching for your car keys because everything will have a home of it’s own.
Create zones: Designated zones for different items helps you keep track of where things belong, making it easier to find what you need quickly.
Label everything: Look at this as a way to help your children be more independent and find what they need without pulling you away from what you are doing. You can also easily remind them to put items back where they found them.
Use dividers and baskets: Containing items using dividers and baskets is a great way to organize items and keep them in their place. By defining a space, you are also giving yourself a limit on how much of something is appropriate.
Make use of vertical space: Shelving or wall storage can always create space where there was none and don’t forget to use the back of doors too! If shelves are not adjustable and wasting space in between, stackable bins or drawers are a great option to provide more space.
Assess the practicality of new systems: Does your family need to see everything in acrylic or wire bins or are labels sufficient enough to keep the systems in place? Will your kids be more likely to put their shoes in an open basket near the door or will they follow through putting them in a shoe cubby in a hall closet? Take note of what you have tried in the past, what worked and what didn’t. Don’t forget that the best system is the one you will use and maintain!
No matter if it’s a drawer you want to clean out or a closet that needs organizing, these tips can kick your project into gear!
