subject: Four Helpful Tricks For A Better Organised Home [print this page] Does your home make you feel claustrophobic because there is so much stuff? Think you are wading through waist-deep piles of clutter every time you open the front door? Dont worry, youre not alone - countless Australians feel the exact same way every day. In todays time-poor society, it is understandable that sometimes our homes get a little away from us in terms of cleanliness and home organisation. But there are ways that you can better organise your home without hiring professionals or using massive amounts of your own time. Here we have a look at four easy tricks to help achieve a more organised home, courtesy of the friendly team at Complete Relocation Services.
Removal
Lets start by removing of all that clutter! Getting rid of everything that you arent going to/dont want to keep is a great first step. As a general rule of thumb, if you have not used it in over a year, get rid of it! It may help to do this in a room-by-room process. Once you have removed all this stuff you will be surprised at how much more space you instantly have.
Location
The next step is to decide on a location for everything. The best way to do this is to keep things in spaces close to where you need them. As an example, keep coffee, tea, mugs, etc, near the kettle. In this way they are not only convenient to grab and use, but it also promotes them getting put back in the same place. With this new frame of mind you may need to completely reorganise certain spaces, or maybe just make little amendments in certain areas.
Organisation
Once you have decided on a location for everything, the next step is organisation. Dont try and tackle this as a complete project, but rather do it in small parts or sections. This may be room by room, or even drawer by drawer whatever is right for your situation and time constraints. As you go through each section chuck out things you dont need, and reorganise everything else so it is easy to locate and use. Labelling everything will take this concept to the next level, allowing ease of use for those not familiar with the home, such as houseguests.
Creativity
A major stumbling block for a lot of people while organising their home is the lack of available space. When and if you encounter this problem, get creative! There is always more available space - you simply arent seeing and utilising it. Got a gap between the fridge and cupboards above? Try putting some appropriately sized baskets in the space. Think over, under and in between, and we guarantee you will find plenty of space.
