Command Central: Introducing the headquarters of your life – a command center! Think of it as the control room for important papers and to-do lists. It’s not just a clipboard; it’s the director’s chair for your organisational blockbuster.
Over-the-Door VIP Access: Turn your doors into storage VIP lounges! Shoes, accessories, and other items get the red carpet treatment with over-the-door organisers. Your wardrobes/closets will thank you for the extra space.
Under-Bed Vacation Spot: Give your stuff a holiday under the bed! Store those non-daily items like seasonal clothes and decorations in the under-bed paradise. It’s like a storage vacation – they come back feeling refreshed and ready to mingle.

So, putting it simply –
Tips:
- Declutter regularly. Get rid of anything you don’t use, need, or love.
- Put like items together. This will make it easier to find what you’re looking for and to keep your home tidy. For example, keep all of your cleaning supplies in one cabinet, all of your office supplies in one drawer, and all of your clothes in one wardrobe/closet.
- Use storage containers and bins. These can help to corral smaller items and keep them from getting cluttered.
- Label everything. This will make it easy to put things away and to find them when you need them.
- Make it a habit to put things away where they belong immediately after you use them. This will help to prevent clutter from building up.
Hacks:
- Use a command center to keep track of important papers, schedules, and to-do lists. This can be a simple wall-mounted clipboard or a more elaborate system with drawers, shelves, and a bulletin board.
- Use over-the-door organisers to store shoes, accessories, or other items. This can help to free up space in your closets and cabinets.
- Use under-bed storage to store items that you don’t use on a daily basis, such as seasonal clothes or decorations.
- Use stackable bins to store food and other items in your kitchen cabinets. This will help to maximize your storage space.
- Use drawer dividers to keep your drawers organised and to prevent things from getting jumbled up.
- Use label makers to label everything from storage containers to food storage bags. This will help you to stay organised and to find what you need quickly.
Here are some additional hacks that may be helpful:
- Use a basket or tray to collect items that need to be put away at the end of the day. This will make it easy to put everything away quickly and easily.
- Create a designated spot for your keys, purse/wallet, and other items that you need to leave the house with every day. This will help you to avoid scrambling to find things at the last minute.
- Have a regular cleaning schedule and stick to it. This will help to keep your home clean and organised without getting overwhelmed.
- Get the whole family involved in organising and cleaning. This will make the task easier and faster for everyone.
Organising your home can take some time and effort, but it’s worth it in the long run. An organised home is a more relaxing and enjoyable place to live.
