They say the problem isn’t in our closets but in our heads. Even so, messes at home can have an impact on our mood and even cause stress. Cleaning your home, on the other hand, does not have to take an entire day or even several hours.
A magnetic holder for cutlery
Magnetic holders for kitchen utensils are more hygienic than wooden ones. That’s because the latter can absorb moisture, creating a great environment for bacteria to grow in. However, the magnetic stripe can be located in any suitable place on the wall, whether it be over a sink or above a tabletop. It will free space and make your kitchen look less messy.
Kitchen utensil storage containers
Pots can be used not only for flowers but also for adding coziness to your kitchen. Pots made from metal wires will make fruit look nice, while a flowerpot-style holder can be good for storing cutlery or sponges for washing dishes, making our kitchens appear less messy.
Bathroom hooks in non-bathroom locations
These hooks are far more useful than you might think. They can be hung in a closet to hold ties, scarves, belts, or bags. Potholders or towels can be hung on them if they are hung in the kitchen. The hooks can be changed on a regular basis, which helps to add new accents to the interior.
A small storage place for little things in every room
Business cards, flyers with coupon codes for your favorite stores, hair ties, a grocery list, and other small items can quickly clutter a room. It can be exhausting trying to put them back in their proper place every time you use them, but there is a simple solution. Keep all those small items in a small vase or a nice-looking box in each room.
The “5 things rule”
If you live in a small apartment or dislike the idea of having boxes and drawers all over the place, try the “5 things rule.” Find items in your home that are in the wrong place and return them to their proper location every day. Place your shoes on a shoe shelf, for example, and a book on a bookcase. It will only take a few minutes per day to declutter your home and improve your overall appearance.
Keeping cleaning supplies in separate rooms
If you keep cleaning supplies in places where they will be used, you will have a much better chance of keeping your home clean and tidy. This is because you won’t have to rush to another room to get a detergent to clean the room or a wipe to remove an accidental stain on the couch — you’ll have everything you need right there.
Keep cleaning supplies for the stove in the kitchen, shampoo for cleaning carpets in the living room, and wipes for cleaning screens in the computer room. The main thing is to find a cozy spot for them and a nice-looking container for them so they don’t draw attention to themselves.
Jewelry in a craft box or a pill box
It’s convenient to store jewelry in a hanging position, but the pieces can quickly become dusty. To avoid confusion, it can be stored in a regular craft organizer, which is sold at any hardware store. You can place earrings in small sections and beads with bracelets in bigger sections.
A turntable or a multi-tiered condiment stand
Spice or vitamin boxes can be placed on a small stand or a turntable. It will save you space and allow you to keep all of the necessary items on hand. It is worth noting that corner base cabinets are ideal for such holders.
To save space, fold tablecloths and towels vertically
If you have so many tablecloths and towels that they hardly fit in the cabinet, you can fold them vertically, following the KonMari Method. They will take up way less space when folded this way and it will be much easier to find the item that you need because you won’t have to go through the entire stack.
Keeping all of your family’s slippers in a basket or box
You’ll never have to go searching for your slippers or pairs for your guests if you pace a special slipper station in the entryway. Not only will it minimize the mess, but it also adds a nice and cozy accent to your home’s interior.
