Best Simple Tips for Organizing Your Home

  • Invest in Drawer Organizers
    Though it's easy to think "out of sight, out of mind," a messy desk drawer does not help your productivity. Mix and match dividers so your pens, pencils, and paper clips all have a spot to live.

  • Practice File Folding
    Folding towels or t-shirts upright allows you to see everything you own in a single glance. Color code from light to dark for added accessibility.

  • Re purpose Trays and Bowls
    Reusing some old dishes (plastic or porcelain) as organizers can help you finally tame that junk drawer. Place a non-slip mat underneath to keep them from shifting when you open and close the drawer

  • Use Clear Canisters

    If your kitchen lacks storage your counter will feel the brunt of the problem. So choose pretty containers (and not a lineup of boxes) when you have to devote visible space to food.

  • Add a Cord-Keeper to Appliances

    Power cords can clutter up your counter space. Keep them under control by adding a stick-on cord keep keeper or Velcro cord straps.

  • Double Up on Coat Hangers

    Hooked together with a can tab, two coat hangers eat up way less wardrobe space.

  • Block Clutter With Something Pretty

    Since it's often too easy to just throw things anywhere, flip the script and leave no room for clutter. "Place a plant, a figurine, or a framed photo on your side tables, or add a table runner or centerpiece to a dining room table," says professional organizer Maeve Richmond.

  • Slip a Drawer Under the Bed

    Before you drag an old piece of furniture out to the tip, consider re purposing the drawers as under-the-bed bins (add wheels to make access even easier).

  • Tidy the Tiniest Items

    A muffin tin provides a handy solution to taming the bits and bobs that live in your junk drawer or home office.

  • Sort Earrings in an Ice Cube Tray

    Perhaps you won't use this for your fanciest jewelry, but a humble ice tray keeps earrings neatly contained and together.
