Have you ever walked around your house and thought, "Wow, I need to give this room a makeover and reorganize it!" If you’re ready to do that, good for you! But here comes the challenging part: you can't have the same system in organizing each room because every area in your home has a different purpose and vibe.

For some people, it doesn't take long to organize their home on their own, but for most people, reorganizing can be an incredibly grueling task to do alone. And for this reason, some homeowners call for assistance from home organizers to help them organize their homes.

If you're ready to organize your home, we've got you covered. Below is our ultimate organization guide to help you manage every room in your home. Let's begin! 


KITCHEN

You want to organize your kitchen in a way that will maximize your counter space, reducing all the clutter on the counter and in the drawers. Because for most homes, the kitchen is the primary communal area, having a clean and organized kitchen will make your entire home feel like everything's in order and spotless. 

Start by taking everything out of your cabinets and drawers, decide how to organize the space, and then decide which items should be kept in the kitchen. Store away kitchen tools that you occasionally use, and add organizing products to make your kitchen more functional.

Below are some organizing products that will help you organize your kitchen.

FAMILY ROOM

Another area that receives a lot of traffic and clutter is your family room. In this room, you'll find a lot of items, such as toys, video games, gadgets, remote controls, books, and a lot more. 

The best way to organize this space is to work on it in stages which will help you get rid of all the clutter. Start by compiling all the items and organizing them by category in the first 30 minutes. After that, tackle each pile and place them in their designated areas.

BEDROOM

Your bedroom is the first place you'll see in the morning and the last place you’ll see at night. If it doesn't feel like a place you can relax in anymore, it's time to deal with the chaos.

Because the closet is usually the most cluttered room in the bedroom, it’s best to start decluttering that space first. If you are interested in how to organize your closet properly (click here)

After decluttering your closet, let’s focus back on the bedroom and declutter the nightstands and dresser. Only keep the items you need, use, and love.

Once your room is organized, you can do the same as the other rooms in your home. You’ll be surprised how easier it gets after each room.

KID’S ROOM

If you have kids, another area that needs major organizing is your kids' room. Because they have layers of toys, clothes, and other items, their room is always in need of organizing.

Having an organizing system that will help keep the clutter in their room at a minimum, is important while also keeping it kid-friendly. Organize and store all the toys in a way where your kids will easily find what they're looking for to avoid all the toys on the floor. You can also do the same with their clothes and their other items.

Besides that, you can encourage them to clean up their room with a daily game. This way, they will learn how to clean and organize their space at a young age.

5 Spaces That Must Be Decluttered on a Weekly Basis

No matter how hard we try, some spaces are just bound to be magnets for clutter. Instead of returning things to where they are properly kept, all too often, high traffic areas transform into drop zones for receipts, snail mail, and other miscellaneous items. While keeping the home completely spotless all the time is pretty much impossible, these spaces can actually be kept relatively clutter-free through routine organizing of at least once a week. Here are five spaces that must be decluttered on a weekly basis:

1. The Bathroom

When it comes to being clutter-free, the most important part in the bathroom is having enough storage. However, the cabinets and countertops are popular places where minor clutter tend to begin and build up. Because the ideal goal when it comes to bathroom countertops is to make sure the surfaces are clear, having designated bins for your regular used items will help keep the surfaces clean. For example, a bin for your makeup, a bin for your hair products and/or your face products, makes it easier to put things back, especially when you are in a rush.

2. The Bedroom

A common culprit of bedroom clutter is typically drinking glasses, worn clothes and shoes. To avoid clutter in this area make sure at the end of the day you put these items in their designated place. If you are someone who does not have the time to put these items away at the end of the day, at least dedicate time at the end of the week. You can take it a step further and add a phone reminder to prevent you from forgetting to declutter.

3. The Closet

To avoid a full declutter in your closet, when you remove your clothes, place them in their designated places. For example, designated places include the hamper, the closet rod or folded in a drawer. As long as they are put away the clutter will be minimized.

4. The Coffee Table

This is easily one of the most common clutter magnets in any house. It usually starts with mail that’s casually tossed with the intention of getting back to it later, except a day passes, then another. Other items that wind up like this involve face masks, books, clothing accesories, and sometimes, even keys. All of those items have their own proper place, so put them in it.

5. The Makeup Bag and Dresser

Within a week, unused eye products or extra lipsticks can find their way into the bottom of your makeup bag. They can also be left scattered on a vanity dresser. Neither of these things is ideal, so it’s always a good idea to make sure that you only carry what you need. In the same vein, make sure that whatever is on your vanity is stored properly. There are many sturdy makeup organizers in the market and to pick the correct one, a good rule of thumb is to make sure you measure the space it would go in properly.

Everything in its place is definitely easier said than done, especially with everyone so busy. However, the littlest things can make the biggest difference, and having a clutter-free home will definitely be a great mood booster. Every small step counts towards having an organized and neat living environment so its up to you to create it.

Our 4-Step Ultimate Guide to Organizing Your Closet

Are you stressed, overwhelmed or having trouble finding things in your closet? Are you experiencing a big milestone, you're moving to a new chapter in your life, or even starting a new project or job? All of these are great reasons to give your closet a makeover, but you may be wondering, how do I start?

Perhaps you saw a celebrity's closet space and like how they fixed their wardrobe, or maybe you watched organization videos online and thought, "I could do that." Either way, finding inspiration is the perfect jump-start to organizing your closet space. 

If you're one of those who had the sudden urge to fix their closet, we've got you covered! This article is our four-step ultimate guide to organizing your closet. Let’s get to it!

1. CLEAR OUT THE CLUTTER

When you start organizing your closet, the first thing you want to do is take everything out which we like to call “PURGE”. When it comes to organizing your closet, its important to only keep the items you need, love and makes you feel satisfied and get rid of the items that honestly don't. Do this by trying your clothes on, seeing how they feel on you and then place them in the “keep”, “donate” or “trash” pile.

2. HAVE AN ORGANIZATION SYSTEM

Now that your closet is ready for your clothes, it's time to figure out how to organize your space.

  • Create categories. (pants, skirts, dresses, tops, etc..) 

  • Color coordinate.

  • Add bins for loose items like belts, scarves, hats, etc.


When you are creating an organization system, make sure it fits your lifestyle. If you workout a lot, you are going to make space for your workout clothes. If you work in corporate America, most of your closet may be filled with business casual clothes. On the reverse, if you work from home like a lot of us nowadays, your closet may be filled with mostly casual clothes. Whatever your current lifestyle is, your closet should reflect that.

3. BE SMART ABOUT YOUR STORAGE

When you're buying new storage products for your closet, make sure you really need them. The number of products you find in the market can seem useful, but in reality, they may end up giving you more clutter than space. 

Before you buy any storage products, make sure you identify the storage problem that needs addressing. For example, if you have a lot of scarves, adding them to a bin may help you organize and create a designated space for them. Besides that, you can do the same with other loose items you have in your closet. 


4. REVAMP YOUR CLOSET

Outside of functionality, you can also make it aesthetically pleasing. Though is not required, having an aesthetically pleasing closet does help you maintain the organization in your closet. The quickest way to improve your closet would be to brighten up the space by changing the light. If you notice your closet space needs more improvements, try changing the paint color or even adding a nice rug. Of course having matching hangers and matching bins its always a plus. If you have the space, you can take it a step further and add a full length mirror to give the closet a more stylish look.


Now that you have a four-step guide to organizing your closet, it's time that you roll up your sleeves and start organizing it! If your closet is too much for you to do alone, you can always ask for assistance from professional organizers at Rescue My Space.
