When you love your home, all the best intentions are there to keep it in a beautiful state at all times. We get inspired by trends and tempted by accessories and trinkets that promise to give our home a magazine-worthy look. However, the slight hurdle that most of us face is managing to keep it clutter-free. In our busy modern lives, finding time to declutter is hard, and as a result, piles of junk build up. Fortunately, expert organizers have tips and tricks on how to start decluttering, even for the most time-strapped among us. In this blog post, we will reveal three priority spaces that you should declutter daily for a more organized home that looks put-together.
1. Your Entryway
The entryway of your home is the first thing you see when you walk in and the last thing when you walk out. It's understandable why clutter and mess here would set you up on the wrong foot for the day mentally. The entryway should always be clutter-free: it is the most important space as it is the first thing you see when you come home, and you should feel calm and relaxed when you enter your sanctuary.
A quick daily tidy can go a long way in keeping your entryway neat and organized. Hang coats and bags, tidy shoes, and put seasonal accessories in bins or baskets. Additionally, consider creating designated storage spaces for items like kids' art, work papers, and mail that require further review. By setting up your entryway in a thoughtful and intentional way, keeping it tidy will become a breeze.
2. Your Nightstand
Although only a small piece of bedroom furniture, the nightstand holds high importance because it's the first thing you see in the morning. To quickly spruce up this space, return dirty dishes to the kitchen, recycle old newspapers or magazines, and relocate any household items that have lost their way. Aim to keep your nightstand clear except for a few essential items, such as a beautiful lamp, a book, a scented candle, or a small vase with one stem. Starting your day with a clean and organized nightstand can make a world of difference.
3. Your Workspace
Whether you work from home or not, chances are you spend a significant amount of time at your desk. It's common for things to pile up in this space, but it's essential to resist the clutter. Taking a few minutes each day to tidy your work surface will help you stay focused and productive. Stack papers in a single pile for review, return books and reference materials to their designated spots and put office supplies back in drawers. This simple daily routine will ensure that you start the next day with a clear and organized workspace.
Even if you don't have a designated home office, you can still tidy your work surface, wherever that may be. Create a portable work-from-home bin that stores your essentials like a laptop, headphones, and a notepad. At the end of the day, simply put all your items in the bin and hide them under your desk or table. This efficient system allows you to work from various locations without cluttering your space.
Incorporating a daily decluttering routine for these three priority spaces - your entryway, nightstand, and workspace - will significantly contribute to a more organized and efficient home. By investing just a few minutes each day, you can maintain a clutter-free environment that brings peace and tranquillity to your daily life. Remember, a little effort goes a long way in creating a space that feels both inviting and functional. So, take charge of your clutter and enjoy the benefits of an organized home.
