Maintain order at home: effective solutions for every corner of your home

The key to maintaining order at home is to assign a specific place for each object. This will make it easier for you to find what you need quickly and help you put everything back in its place after use. Think about dirty clothes: having a specific basket to put them in prevents them from accumulating in inappropriate places.

Containers and organizers are essential allies to maintain order. From boxes and baskets to dividers and trays, these accessories allow you to group and classify your belongings efficiently. One tip is to incorporate organizers inside the drawers and cabinets so that each item has its own place. This way, you will avoid chaos and make daily routines easier.

The accumulation of objects is one of the main enemies of order. An effective strategy is that, every time you add a new acquisition to your home, you get rid of an old object or one that you no longer use. This will help you maintain balance and prevent clutter from dominating the home.

Paper is one of the elements that can generate the most clutter. Digitizing documents and photos is an excellent resource to reduce the amount of paper accumulated. Scan and digitally save important documents and sentimental photos, keeping only the essential physical copies.

It is important to make the entire family jointly responsible for maintaining order. But it is even more important that certain roles are established. The ideal approach, then, is to establish a script that specifically stipulates the tasks that each person must perform.

If we make some of the members responsible for carrying out specific tasks, we achieve greater efficiency. Therefore, it is okay for a family member to assume a coordinator role, to detect if someone is not adequately fulfilling their functions.

Walls offer valuable space that is often overlooked. Use shelving, hangers, and perforated panels to make the most of vertical space. These elements will facilitate access to the objects you use most frequently and will help you keep the floor clear.

A cramped closet can be a constant source of stress. Simplify your wardrobe by keeping only those clothes that you really use and like. Organize clothes by season and use boxes or bags as an off-season storage point. This way, you will always have enough space to store clothes neatly and easily access your favorite items.

Although daily cleanings are important, it is essential to carry out deep cleanings on a regular basis. Spend time cleaning and organizing specific areas of your home that you don’t tend to on a daily basis, such as the garage, basement, or closets. These toilets will allow you to eliminate unnecessary objects and maintain a clean and tidy environment at home.

Labels are a simple but effective tool to maintain order. Label boxes, containers and shelves to quickly identify the contents of each. This will make it easier for you to find what you need and allow everyone in the household to return items to their correct places.

Clear surfaces greatly contribute to a feeling of order and cleanliness. Avoid accumulating objects on tables, counters and desks. Reserve these spaces for daily activities and put everything back when you’re done.

We advise you to combine open and closed storage options in which the objects we want to display look appropriately and everything we need to store, but do not want to display, has its assigned place.

The kitchen is one of the living centers of any home, and keeping it organized can be a challenge. Establish an organization system for your utensils, appliances and food. Use transparent containers for food and labels to identify its contents. Spend a few minutes each week reviewing and reorganizing your kitchen to make sure everything is in its place.

The entrance is the first impression your home will convey, and it can make a difference in how the general order of the rest of the home is perceived. Taking this factor into account, we recommend using hangers, shoe racks and baskets to keep this space tidy.

You can also designate specific places for keys, mail and other objects that tend to accumulate at the entrance. A clean and organized entry space will give a feeling of order from the first step into your home.

Accumulating unnecessary items is easy, but getting rid of them can be liberating. Take time to go through your belongings and get rid of anything you don’t need. Donate, recycle or throw away objects that are no longer useful to you. This practice frees up space and will allow you to maintain a more orderly and functional environment.

Clutter often arises from a lack of temporary storage solutions. Use boxes and baskets to temporarily store objects that have no defined place. These solutions can be especially helpful during moves, renovations, or seasonal changes. Also be sure to review and reorganize these temporary spaces regularly to prevent them from becoming permanent points of clutter.

Maintaining order in every corner of the home requires effort, dedication, perseverance and collaboration, but with the indicated strategies it is possible to achieve it.
