Maximizing Your Home's Organization: Simple Techniques And Tricks

Updated: Aug 28

*This is a collaborative post


Creating a clear and organized home space is a useful way to reduce stress at home. If you spend time in a messy space, it will cause distractions and frustration. Instead, improving your home’s organization and maintaining its tidiness is best, as it will help you feel calmer and happier in your private space.




Don’t worry if your home is chaotic; we are here to help. Today, we will explore the best techniques for maximizing home organization.


Sticking things to the walls


Taking up too much floor and sideboard space is unnecessary and impractical. To make your home feel as organized as possible, you should consider sticking things to the walls or using shelves. This will free up space and make your home feel less cluttered. 



You can use sticky velcro tape on the back of wall art, lightweight boxes, and other light decorative/storage items to adhere them to the wall with minimal damage and visibility. When you display your decor and storage seamlessly, it will further enhance the tidiness and organization of your home.


Use ottoman storage solutions


Using smart storage solutions in your home effectively keeps things tidy and well-organized. You can better organize your things when you have a specific place for them. 



Using ottoman storage solutions is the best idea if you want to keep your home tidy and have a place to hide stuff away. Ottoman benches and beds are great as they allow you to use them as furniture as well as storage spaces. They won’t take up extra room like cupboards can as they are multi-functional. 


Make use of your spare vertical space


When trying to maximize organization in your home, don't overlook the vertical space. When walls are fitted with shelves, hooks, or hanging organizers, they can provide useful storage space. 



For example, to free up cabinet space in the kitchen, construct racks to hang kitchen items. Adding more shelves or a second hanging rod to a closet can increase its storage capacity. When floor space is restricted in tiny places, vertical storage is very helpful in keeping items organized and easily accessible.


Maintain a home organization routine


You need to maintain a home organization routine to keep your home organized and well-kept after making these efforts. 



Here are two tips:



Tidy up every night. It is best to tidy up after yourself and your family every night before you head to bed. Giving yourself ten minutes to tidy the space will make your life easier and ensure you can finish your tasks the next day without stressing about keeping the house tidy. If you work away from home, you can enjoy returning home each day to a tidy space.


Having a cleaning and organizing routine once a week. Maintaining a weekly cleaning and organizing routine will help you stay on top of your home’s tidiness. Sticking to the same day and time will help you remember and also ensure you have time for it.
