But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way. There are several quick and efficient ways to<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>organize your home. Here are a few:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep, trash or donate<\/strong>: No maybe piles; apply this rule in every room as you begin organizing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make a plan<\/strong>: Once you\u2019ve decided on all of the items you\u2019re going to keep, make a plan for the function of the room housing them. Think about how the items will complement that plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Put it where you use it<\/strong>: For maximum functionality, store items where they\u2019re going to be used. This will reduce the time you spend searching for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you apply these steps to every room in your home, it should be easy to get things in order. Here are some additional plans to ensure maximum organization:<\/p>\n<h2>Kitchen<\/h2>\n<p>Organize your kitchen with cooking in mind. If you bake often, have all of the baking items in the same place. If you often cut up meats and vegetables, keep those items close to the functional area (i.e., island or sink). Here are some other tips for getting your kitchen in quick order:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hang big utensils<\/strong>: If you don\u2019t have room in the drawers for all of your utensils, use peg boards or hooks. This makes them easy to find and access.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minimize your cookware<\/strong>: If you don\u2019t use it, get rid of it. Keep only what you really need and use on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free up counter space<\/strong>: You shouldn\u2019t keep a lot of countertop appliances out in the open, especially if you barely use them. Keep appliances in cabinets or in the pantry to make room for food prep and other kitchen tasks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add pull-out shelves<\/strong>: Install pull-out shelving in cabinets to make reaching cups, plates and other hard to reach items easier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Living Room<\/h2>\n<p>Your living room is one of the most popular places in the house; it\u2019s also among the most prone to clutter. Minimize the mess with containers and bins, and get creative with other organization tools too:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Repurposed bookshelves<\/strong>: Use bookshelves to store bins and baskets of frequently used items. It\u2019s a quick and easy way to organize, and it also adds to the visual appeal of your living room.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cubbies<\/strong>: Made of fabric or plastic, cubbies are a good way to efficiently organize different people\u2019s items. You can also do this in the entryway for shoes or jackets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage ottoman<\/strong>: A storage ottoman is both furniture and organization in one complete package. It\u2019s a great place to store linens and accessories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bedroom<\/h2>\n<p>Your bedroom should be extra tidy since it\u2019s where you start and end the day. Make use of space underneath your bed and in your end tables. Other tips to consider include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clear off your dresser<\/strong>: Don\u2019t let your dresser get cluttered. Store items on it that you use on a daily basis \u2014 jewelry box, hand creams, etc.; otherwise keep it clear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean up the inside of your dresser<\/strong>: Use an organizer to get your clothing in order. Keep socks, underwear, tees, sweaters and other clothing in neat piles. That way, you can find clothing more easily when you get ready for work in the morning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t overuse hidden space<\/strong>: Having open space doesn\u2019t mean you should fill it to the brim with stuff. Keep it organized and use little bins if needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t use a hamper<\/strong>: Hampers seem like a good idea, but oftentimes they end up filled with clothes, spilling more on the floor. Try to get your clothes to the laundry room instead, and keep your bedroom clear of dirty clothes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Closets<\/h2>\n<p>Closets should be organized for maximum functionality, which is especially helpful when you need to find clothes and shoes in the morning. If your clothes are strewn on the floor \u2014 or your shoes are mismatched \u2014 trying to find everything adds extra time to your routine. The key is to get rid of everything you don\u2019t wear and hang what you do wear. Shoes should be in their proper place \u2014 right next to one another. If you have clothes that you don\u2019t want to hang, fold them neatly and put them on shelves. You can have closet organizers installed<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>for about $1,300. Hooks are also your friend for belts and hats.<\/p>\n<h2>Bathroom<\/h2>\n<p>Bathrooms are where we like to relax or get ourselves ready for the day. Keeping everything you need within reach makes it easier. Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clear off the counter<\/strong>: Keep most items off of your counter. Akin to your dresser, it should only hold your essentials \u2014 soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, razor, etc. Put the rest in a drawer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean out the medicine cabinet<\/strong>: There are probably a lot of medicines you don\u2019t need or use anymore. Trash what you don\u2019t use and put the rest in a drawer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hang soap and shampoo<\/strong>: Use organizers and hanging baskets in your shower\/tub combination to free up space on the floor and prevent injury.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tackle your towels<\/strong>: If your linen cabinet seems cluttered, try rolling your towels or putting them in a basket. It will make them neater and easier to access. <em>&#8211; Redfin<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"slide-text-container\">\n<div id=\"slide-text\">\n<div class=\"slide-text-container\">\n<div id=\"slide-text\">\n<div class=\"slide-text-container\">\n<div id=\"slide-text\">\n<div class=\"slide-text-container\">\n<div id=\"slide-text\">\n<div class=\"slide-text-container\">\n<div id=\"slide-text\">\n<div class=\"slide-text-container\">\n<div id=\"slide-text\">\n<div class=\"slide-text-container\">\n<div id=\"slide-text\">\n<p>Interested in home remodeling?\u00a0Contact<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/medinaexteriors.com\/remodeling-experts\/\">Medina Exteriors<\/a>\u00a0today, (330)591-4040<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Remodeling | Effective Home Organization Tips Home Remodeling | Home organization can be taxing and overwhelming, especially when there\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1026,1027,1028],"tags":[1010],"class_list":["post-3935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-remodeling","category-home-remodeling-trends","category-home-entertaining","tag-home-remodeling-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Home Remodeling | Effective Home Organization Tips<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Home Remodeling | Home organization can be taxing and overwhelming, especially when there\u2019s a lot of clutter involved.
