Starting With A Clean Slate
Before diving into organization, it’s best to tackle the clutter head-on! Whether it’s a day or a whole weekend, dedicate some time for a declutter session. This will help you understand what to put away compared to what you want to keep easily accessible.
Here are some tips to help you declutter:
Set Clear Goals: Decide which areas you want to declutter first — whether it’s your wardrobe, bedroom, or home office. Determining this will help you work one space at a time if you’re decluttering multiple spaces.
Create Categories: Sort items into four categories: keep, donate, recycle, and trash. For clothing, consider implementing the 80/20 rule: we typically wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time.
Question Each Item: Ask yourself if an item serves a purpose or brings you joy. If not, it might be time to let it go. This can definitely be difficult, but clearing out what you don’t need can bring you a sigh of relief.
Decluttering not only frees up physical space but also mental space, reducing stress and increasing your overall sense of well-being. After clearing out all the things you don’t need, you’re ready to organize!
Zone In: Design Your Space with Intent
Creating designated zones for different activities in your living space is a great organizational tactic. This helps your brain associate certain spaces with certain activities, which helps you feel more productive.
Here’s how you can set up zones effectively:
Identify Key Activities: Determine the main activities in each room. For example, the kitchen is meant for cooking and the bedroom is meant for relaxing and sleeping.
Create Functional Zones: Assign areas in each room for specific activities. In the case of a kitchen, the cooking zone would have pots, pans, and utensils while the prep zone would have knives and cutting boards.
Use Visual Dividers: Furniture like rugs, shelves, or dividers can visually delineate various zones. This can help you organize your space and create a sense of purpose in each zone.
Keep Items In Their Designated Zones: Regularly maintain each zone by returning items to their designated spots after use. This ensures that each zone remains functional and clutter-free.
While it may take time to designate zones, doing so makes your physical space feel much more organized. This way, you can also increase efficiency and reduce the time spent searching for any items.

Save Space With Furniture That Work Overtime
Furniture that serves multiple purposes can not only save space but also reduce visual clutter. Whether you’re looking to make the most out of your small space or enjoy having a secret hidden compartment, there are many multi-functional pieces to explore:
Ottomans
Ottomans are most commonly used for seating, but opening the lid can function as storage for blankets, books, or other items. They’re a versatile solution for extra seating and hidden storage.
Murphy Beds
Perfect for small spaces, Murphy beds fold up into the wall. This allows you to free up floor space during the day. Some models include built-in shelving or desks for more functionality.
Foldable Desks
Ideal for bedrooms or home offices, these desks can be tucked away when not in use. They’re great for giving any space a flat surface for a laptop, food, or anything you desire to keep mobile.

Reach New Heights Elevating Your Space
Sometimes, the best way to stay organized is to look up! Utilizing your vertical space is great for keeping your area organized without adding clutter to desks and tables.
Here are some ways to maximize your vertical space:
Install Shelves: Use wall-mounted shelves to store books, decorative items, and everyday essentials. Floating shelves add a modern touch and free up floor space.
Hanging Storage: Invest in hooks, pegboards, and over-the-door organizers. These can be used for everything from kitchen utensils to bathroom towels and bedroom accessories.
Stackable Storage: Use stackable bins and boxes to take advantage of vertical space in closets and storage areas. Label each container for easy access.

Organize in Plain Sight
While opaque storage bins can hide clutter, clear storage bins are often more practical and can be visually appealing. Since you can see what’s inside, it’s often easier to locate items and assess what you have with clear storage options. Consider these tips:
To keep things consistent and aesthetically appealing, use the same bin for all of your storage. You can also label each bin to ensure you know exactly where everything belongs. They can also add a personalized touch to your storage.
Overall, clear storage solutions are a minimalist’s best friend, providing both function and aesthetic appeal. They help maintain a clean and organized environment, reducing the time spent searching for items.
