How to Organize Your Home<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Use furniture that doubles as storage. <\/strong>When deciding on furniture items, like dressers vs. chests<\/a> for your bedroom, consider the item\u2019s storage capacity. Choose an ottoman<\/a> for your living room that also serves as a handy storage container. The kitchen island<\/a> is another piece of furniture designed with storage in mind. In the bedroom, storage beds also make-use of the space beneath and surrounding your bed.<\/li>\n
  2. Install mounted shelves.<\/strong> If you don\u2019t have floor space for another storage cabinet or bookcase, build up. Mounted shelves, also called floating or hanging shelves, are installed directly onto the wall. This means you can add surfaces for organization and storage to any room where you have sections of bare walls. You can put them above your home office desk<\/a> to store files or install them in your children\u2019s room to hold toys.<\/li>\n
  3. Utilize the back of doors. <\/strong>A great home organization tip is to use over the door organizers can to add storage space to your house. A shoe organizer hung on the back of your closet door frees up floor space. Hang a hook for your towel on the back of your bathroom door. The back of your bedroom door can hold your handbags, coats, or accessories. Here are even more over-the-door organizational hacks<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Closet hacks. <\/strong>In many cases, the best way to add organizational space to your closet is to downsize its contents. Get rid of shoes you haven\u2019t worn in years, clothes that don\u2019t fit, and costumes you don\u2019t have a use for. Once you\u2019ve freed up some space, utilize vertical storage units to make the most of it. Invest in a hanging shoe rack, scarf hangers, and tiered pant or skirt hangers.<\/li>\n
  5. Under the bed. <\/strong>Short plastic storage bins help you utilize the space under your bed to organize any number of things. Many platform beds<\/a> are offered as storage beds that include storage drawers that sit neatly beneath your bed. An important home organization tip is to be careful what you store here, because out-of-site often means out-of-mind. Use this space to organize and store items you don\u2019t access frequently but won\u2019t forget about. These sorts of items may include off-season clothes, spare sheets, luggage, or gift-wrapping supplies. You can even store a second bed by investing in a daybed<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Consider loft beds or bunkbeds. <\/strong>When furnishing a child\u2019s bedroom, consider purchasing a bunkbed<\/a> for kids who share a space. This saves you plenty of floor space that can be used for other furniture items. If your child has his or her own room, look into getting a loft bed<\/a>. This allows you to use the tall space underneath as a desk or play area.<\/li>\n
  7. Make the most of surface space. <\/strong>Maybe you don\u2019t have space for another bookshelf, but you do have space on top<\/em> of your bookshelves, dresser, or desk. With the help of bookends, you can easily get another shelf\u2019s worth of storage.<\/li>\n
  8. Divide up larger spaces<\/strong>. Don\u2019t be afraid to install furniture that isn\u2019t backed up against a wall. With an open floor plan, you have the freedom to add a bookshelf<\/a> to divide areas and create little \u201cnooks.\u201d Another great home organization tip: an open-backed display bookshelf<\/a> provides additional space for organizing without interrupting the flow of the floor plan.<\/li>\n
  9. Rollaway furniture<\/strong>. Furniture on wheels like a kitchen cart<\/a> can be flexible and stylish way to add organizational space. While they come in handy when entertaining guests, they also provide you with extra shelving wherever you need them. Some models even have extra cabinet space.<\/li>\n
  10. Everything in its place. <\/strong>In the end, the key tip for maintaining and adding organizational space to your home is this: every item has a home. Once you\u2019ve gone to the trouble of adding organizational and storage space to your home, use it. Get into the habit of ensuring every item goes back to its home when you\u2019re finished with it. This is the final step in bringing your organizational dreams to fulfillment!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
