Tips for Organizing Your Home Like a Pro

Organizing your home is a personal thing. The method that you choose must work with your lifestyle. If you’re not sure where to start, there are a few strategies that are generally effective. Home organization is a big job, but after a day at the MacDonald Ranch country club, you’ll be ready to organize your home like a pro. Here are a few tips. 

 Make it Simple 

 To keep your home organized, make it simple to put things away. For instance, instead of hiding laundry baskets behind doors or in closets, add an open bin that’s readily accessible. Reconsider containers with lids. Instead, select open bins for items that you often use, like cooking gadgets, phone chargers, and toiletries. 

 Get Rid of Stuff Before Buying Storage Bins 

 Often, people purchase storage containers before getting rid of stuff. If you do this, it’s likely that you’ll just put everything you own away instead of decluttering your home. Get rid of the things that you no longer need or want before investing in storage bins. That way, you’ll buy the correct number of containers, saving you money. 

 Coordinate Your Closet by Color 

 Choosing to organize by color provides guidance. Use the technique for your clothes, books, and shoes. It will look more visually put together and appealing while making it easier for you to find things. 

 Eliminate Areas that Collect Clutter 

 Flat surface areas like entryway tables, shoe shelves, and kitchen counters are common places that collect clutter. To keep your home organized, make it a part of your daily routine to clear off your home’s flat surfaces. If these areas still attract clutter, then place a décor item like a flower arrangement on the surface. This will let everyone know that the area is no longer a place to toss random items. 

 Make a Staging Area 

 If you’ve identified an area of your home that is in desperate need of organization, make a staging area. Then, empty the space entirely. This will help you spot anything that you have more than one and items that are expired or no longer needed. The next step is to assess what you have left. Store the remaining items in open baskets or clear bins to see everything that you have. It’s also a good idea to label your baskets and bins. This step makes it easier to keep your home organized going forward.
