“If you wait until you have enough money to decorate and make your home your own, it will never happen. If you wait until you can afford to buy everything new, you are missing the point. It is the old, the new, the hand-me-down, the collected, the worn but loved things in your home that make it your own.” – Stacy Risenmay
Whether you agree with me on this or not, organizing the things we have at home would take a lot of our time, especially when we have so little time for it. Perhaps, some of us are busy with their work, and some with their school or business. We all are busy with our daily lives. However, this may not be a good and acceptable reason as to why we should not organize our home. Keep in mind that our home is a reflection of who and what we are. If we have a messy home, then we probably live a messy and confused life. It does not matter if you are living in South Park District or any real estate property in the Philippines, there is no reason for you not to organize your things at home.
So to give you an idea here’s some quick and easy guide on how you can organize your home even if you have so little time for it.
1. Keep clothes off the floor
If you do not want to see your home with so many clothes on the floor, it is best for you to put all your clothes in its proper place ever after you use it. If you are not mindful of where you put your clothes, this will only leave you a pile of clothes to pick up. Also, having your clothes on the floor can also cause accidents. That is why it is important for you to pick them up and place them in their proper places. If your clothes are dirty, then you have to put them in the laundry area, and if it is not, put them in your closet.
2. Keep beds made and nightstands clear
This is also one secret to a neat and clean home. It is a must for you to clear your bed. Make sure to keep all your gadgets away from your bed, especially when you are about to sleep. You do not want to sleep with all of your gadgets around you, right? You have to make at least an effort to make your bed before you go to sleep, and every time you wake up. This is to ensure that you will not have a hard time looking at your messy bedroom. Also, keep in mind that as much as your home should be neat, your bedroom should also be clean.
3. Make Your Mudroom Multitask
If you have an empty area at home, then you might want to make it useful. Perhaps, you can make it as your storage area where you can put your bags, boxes, coats, umbrellas, etc. This is important not only to spruce up the look, but it also can make your home less prone to disarray. Also, you can put a basket where you can have it as your storage of your things, be it accessories for this summer or any tools or appliances you have for you home. Be creative enough when thinking about what you can do to make your home look neat and clean.
4. Limit your laundry
This is one of the things you should do especially when you do not have much time doing the laundry at home. If you think that you have already worn many clothes, then it is best for you if you would wash them immediately. This is to make sure that you will not have to wash a pile of dirty clothes all day during the weekends.
5. Make your entryway more efficient
Whether you agree with me on this or not, one of the most visible parts of your home is your entry way. That means you need to make sure that your entryway clean and way far from being messy. Moreover, you can organize a spot where you can put your umbrellas, keys, hats, important mail, etc. This will also ensure that you will have a clean and neat entry way at home.
