Whether it’s a small closet, a large pantry or a linen closet you want to keep tidy and organized, organization can be a key to productivity and maximizing space. One philosophy relates to the rule “everything should have a place and be in place”. But what is the best way to achieve organization and also maintain a sense of functionality and order? Here are some of our top organizational tips.
- Keep items in clear containers or jars. Being able to see what you have is half the struggle to help prevent purchasing items you already own.
- Practice the “one in, one out” rule.
- Purge seasonally. Instead of the once a year clean up, consider evaluating what to keep and what to toss more often.
- Purchase bins, baskets or containers to store small items.
- Scan it! Gone are the days where boxes of documents or file cabinets full of paper are needed.
- Just say no. Say no to the donated items or inherited heirlooms that you simply don’t have space or a need for that will sit in a closet or attic and collect dust.
- Take new items out of boxes. Boxes are bulky and take up a lot of space.
- Go slim. From huggable hangers to items that are collapsible, going slim will help to maximize space.
- Create cubies or shelves for items that can be used to house items of various sizes.
- Consider built-ins but be thoughtful and purposeful.
