If you’ve seen their show on Netflix, you know just how remarkable their transformations can be. But fear not, you don’t need a TV crew to achieve similar results. I’ve picked up some golden organizing tips from the book that I’m excited to share with you all!
1. Organize Around Your Life
Before diving into the organizing process, take a step back and consider the functional purposes of different areas in your home. Think about your daily routines, what matters most to you, and how you can simplify your life through organization. Whether it’s finding items easily, showcasing beautiful decor pieces, or accommodating your daily activities, aligning your organization with your lifestyle is the key to success. Remember, the ultimate goal is to make your life easier and more enjoyable, so tailor your organization efforts to suit your unique needs.
2. Space-Saving Organizational Pieces Are Key
If you live in a smaller home or simply want to maximize your space, investing in space-saving organizational pieces is a smart move.
There is an abundance of organization ideas specifically designed for small spaces. Make a list of the items you might need and search for them online or at your local stores. Here are some fantastic options to consider:
● Utility closet door and wall racks
● Stackable clear bins
● Divided turntables
● Three-tiered shelves
● Corner shelves
● Drawer and shelf dividers
● Utility carts
● Desktop and cabinets organizers
● Food storage containers
● Storage ottomans
Remember, don’t rush to buy all the items at once. Start organizing first, and this will help you identify the exact pieces you require to enhance your home’s efficiency and aesthetics..
3. Start small and don’t go out too fast
It’s easy to get OVERWHELMED by the thought of organizing your entire home at once. Instead, take inspiration from ‘The Home Edit’ and start small. Divide your home into manageable sections and tackle them one at a time. Consider creating a list of each room and further break it down into specific zones or areas.
For instance, in your living room, you can have different zones such as the TV unit, closet and bookshelf. By organizing one area at a time, you’ll achieve more focused and sustainable results.
