Ways To De-Clutter and Maximize Space In Your Home

When you gaze around your home does clutter and mess meet your eye in every direction? Are you so overwhelmed by the clutter and mess that you don’t feel like you can lead the life you dream about? Now is the time to get serious about reorganizing and de-cluttering your home. Sometimes it just takes a little time and maybe some small investments to make your home environment much more liveable.

After you have taken out the trash and stuffed everything out of sight into drawers and closets, you need to consider ways to make your use of your home space more efficient, so the clutter doesn’t immediately creep back up and overwhelm you again. Your laundry area is a good place to start. Arrange things in a manner that minimizes your movements. You could have all family members bring their dirty clothes to a centrally located basket every day before leaving for work, school, or play. Then, instead of wandering all over the house twice a week looking for THEIR dirty clothes, all you have to do is grab the full hamper and head for the washing machine. To get your family’s cooperation, make a simple rule: if your clothes aren’t in the hamper, they don’t get washed. The lesson will be quickly learned.

How many minutes do you spend every week looking for a large enough empty space to set up your ironing board, and then wrestling with the ungainly contraption to set it up? A great way to save space, time, and frustration is to install a wall mounted ironing board in a convenient spot near your laundry machines. There are several options available including full sized boards that open out into a room as well as compact boards that fit into smaller spaces. When you are ready to iron, all you have to do is fold the board down and get started. No more pinched fingers, twisted backs, and curses as you wrestle with your old-fashioned board that takes up too much space.

In addtion to your laundry area, consider others rooms in your house where you spend a lot of time. Organize your kitchen for the most efficient arrangement of pots, pans and other cooking tools relative to where you will need to use them. Check out outdoor spaces such as your garage or workshop and investigate ways to make more efficient use of space. And, while you are at it, consider ways to make your whole house more fun and attractive so your family will be less likely to let it get all cluttered up.
