The rush of daily life often prevents us from giving our homes the attention they deserve. We come and go so frequently that it’s easier to leave things around than to put them back in their proper place. Keeping your home in order benefits both you and the environment, making it easier to clean and maintain. Check out these 5 essential tips for keeping your home in order!

1. Avoid Excesses in Decoration and Organize Papers

The number of decorative items directly affects your home’s organization. The more objects you have, the harder it will be to keep the house in order. So, less is always more. Avoid leaving bills, mail, and flyers on the coffee table or any other surface. Organize magazines in a magazine rack and keep surfaces clear for decoration.

2. Hang Kitchen Items

To simplify your kitchen routine and food preparation, hang the main items on hooks. The key is where you place these hooks. Use the inside of cabinets to hang them with adhesive tabs, avoiding the need for drilling. Hang scissors, measuring spoons, can openers, and other utensils to free up drawer space.

3. Make Your Bed and Don’t Spread Clothes Around

Establish a morning routine. After getting out of bed, stretch the sheets and quilt and place the pillows in their positions before leaving the room. Put everything away after using any object or when taking clothes out of the closet to make a choice. The important thing is not to ignore the mess or let it accumulate. As for clothes, don’t create extensions of your wardrobe. Avoid hanging clothes on furniture. Either they go back in the closet or to the laundry. By avoiding this bad habit, you’ll stay more organized and find the clothes you want to wear more easily. Speaking of the wardrobe, take a day to organize it. Group similar items, organize accessories, and donate pieces you haven’t worn in a long time. A tip is to roll up t-shirts instead of stacking them. This way, you can see everything more easily and save space.

4. Don’t Accumulate Items in the Bathroom

Avoid accumulating products and items on the bathroom counter. It should have as much free space as possible. Organize bathroom products in baskets that don’t get damaged by the humidity, such as acrylic or plastic ones. Store your beauty products (makeup and perfumes) and medications in your bedroom, as they need to be in a cool, airy environment. Group creams and other personal hygiene products according to their purpose.

5. Practice Letting Go and Always Have an Orderly Home

Evaluate what you have at home and consider if you really need to keep it. Have you used it in the last two years? Do you still like it as much as when you bought it? Does the design still appeal to you? Does it reflect your current self? Do you have a reason to keep it? Practice letting go and make room for new things in your home. This way, keeping the house in order will be much easier.
