Storage Hacks That Will Keep You Organised and Peaceful

Find some impressive storage solutions to maximise space and minimise clutter by making the most of your home's existing space. Getting your stuff organized with these smart storage ideas is a great feeling and it makes finding everything easier also.  

Make your furniture a clever storage space

A platform-style bed for children with built-in drawers and shelves is a lovely idea to keep books, toys and clothes stored neatly. This will also help your child to grasp the habit of cleanliness and orderliness.

Also make concealed storage space under your bed so you can smartly de-clutter the bedroom. A bed frame with such storage units is worth the investment.

Recessed pantry

Worried about your cramped, cluttered kitchen? No tensions, some additional storage space can be created there by knocking a hole through a garage wall. Also try height adjustable shelves, pull out baskets, tray divider, and sliding doors which make an efficient, versatile pantry.

Above-the-door shelf

Over the door storage for a small Bath with limited space and no linen closet is a great option for maximising space. These storage shelves can also be constructed for other necessary places around your home for a better organised look.

Clever way to organise your accessories

Want to try a smart idea to utilise an unwanted ice cube tray? Store your jewellery items in the tray displayed in a stylish manner so you can impress your guests next time they pay a visit. Similarly, let your creativity take wings to find lovely storage places for all unused items in your home.

Facing lack of space for laundry storage?

Tired of all the clutter in your floors and on the countertops? Fix a few pegboards on your walls to hang shelves, baskets, and even cleaning materials & brooms. You can also put all the small things and other clutter on your pegboard. Use a combination of open shelves and pegboards to rev up the storage potential of your hallway wall.

Unleash a Sense of Imagination to Organise and Declutter Your Home

From the bath area to the home office, these creative home organising and decluttering ways will help you a lot to live a simplified, uncluttered life. Now onward you’ll feel getting organized is so much easier and fun.

Good to make a list and give away one item each day to reduce the unwanted things gathering dust. If you are working from home, it’s good to have a separate room for office supplies and crafts. Ensure office stationery such as file folders and notepads are all neatly arranged. Also minimise your writing instruments and physical files (paper documents) by creating digital files and folders.

Place different sizes of recycling bins - including small ones for expired medication, beauty products and dead batteries – at different places such as the bath area, bedroom, kitchen and all other locations where there is a possibility of clutter buildup.  For organizing a cluttered space, pick up the loose items and put them in matching bins and boxes, differentiating them with labels for easy identification.

Decluttering basics

The key to getting and staying organized is to act according to the well known saying that everything in your home needs a place. If you struggle to find a place for everything, it’s time to get rid of unwanted things, the less used items which you unknowingly keep for no purpose at all. Don’t put back in your cabinets something you know you don’t need and don’t love anymore- auction it or give it to charity. 

How to identify which clothes you can easily discard?  Do this funny hanger trick. Arrange your clothes in the wardrobe with all the hangers in the reverse direction. Once you use a dress and washed it, return it to the closet with the hanger facing the correct direction. After a few months, you can find out what clothes you wear a lot, and what you don’t! This will give you a clear picture of which items are to be trashed.

And for arranging things in their proper place, try to keep likes with likes; say keep all your dishes in one cupboard, and all your cups in another. And remember, though it’s a simple and easy method (Throwing out what is not in regular use, and keeping a box or bag for temporarily storing them before selling off), it’s actually the easiest way to keep your home neat and orderly.

The basic principle of decluttering is to start modestly, not over ambitiously. Pick up an easy spot first, for example, a drawer, a kitchen cabinet, a little stack of items, and try to make it neat and tidy. Once you manage it nicely, your confidence level will build up and also increase the energy and enthusiasm to try out further decluttering tasks in the house.

Decluttering woes

There are plenty of tempting organising materials, from cute wicker baskets to mini chalkboard labels, and from lovely looking containers to stylish baskets etc., available on the market via online and retail stores. However, before ordering these stylish items, just declutter and organise your home and find out what storage you actually need. Otherwise you end up spending money and creating more clutter!

Decluttering your home can be overwhelming if you approach it unplanned. For everyone, the most productive day starts the night before, as mornings are short lived with busy schedule. Try doing little bit organising and decluttering by utilising a few minutes in the evening to prepare yourself for the next day. This way you know exactly where everything is when you’ll be rushing through the morning hours. It’ll be a great relief to find the right makeup kit or medicines without hunting and pecking for them through piles of clutter.
