Organizing your home can be a monumental task, especially when you have so many different items to store. Whether you are organizing your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or living room, there are some organization hacks to help keep items easily accessible and organized.
Your cabinets and drawers can only do so much, but they should be beautiful on the outside and the inside. Organize dressers and cabinets from Rasmussen Custom Cabinets with these tips.
1- Ditch The Original Packaging
The biggest organization hack and trend right now is to ditch the original packaging for your food and spices and put them in air-tight containers. Not only does this help food stay fresh for longer, but it also helps your pantry and drawers look clean and cohesive.
2- Invest In Lazy Susans
Lazy Susans can help you stay organized and provide better access to items in your cabinets. The turntable design helps to bring hidden items into view and store more inside the cabinets. They also give you the freedom of more usable space which is key when you have small cabinets or live in a small home.
3- Use Cabinet Risers
Using cabinet risers can give more usable space in cabinets as well. Stacking plates or bowls on risers in order to store more. This also helps you avoid a wild high stack of plates and bowls.
Cabinet risers as an organization hack can help you store more than just one type of kitchen item in a cabinet. Store dinnerware, water bottles, appliances, and more with cabinet risers.
4- Dedicate A Cabinet For Appliances
Storing appliances on your countertops or in your pantry can get a little cluttered. Dedicating a pantry for your small appliances can help keep your kitchen looking more organized and give you more workable counter space.
Small appliances can take up more space, despite being small. Some appliances are nice to look at, but having a dedicated cabinet will keep the not so nice looking ones out of the eyesight of your guests.
5- Declutter
One easy way to organize your home is to get rid of things you don’t need. Decluttering will give you more space for the items that you truly need. Cleaning or donating unneeded items will make your home feel less confined and give you more energy to have a clean space. Decluttering can take some time, but going through cabinets, dressers, and drawers one at a time can help.
6- Make Easy Access To Most Used Items
Giving easy access to the most used items makes functioning in your kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom much easier. Keeping your space organized is made easier when you do not have to dig through to find what you need. Organized cabinets and drawers are not overstuffed and don’t have stuff falling out when opened.
The downfall to having easy access to common items is that some spices, clothes, or knickknacks can get lost and shoved to the back of the space. This not only pushes them out of your mind, but it can also create more clutter, because you may forget when grocery shopping or picking out an outfit, leading you to purchase more. Organization is a tricky balance.
7- Use A Sorting Method
Next on the list of organization hacks is to organize items by name, color, or size. Spice drawers or racks can be organized in alphabetical order. This allows your brain to find something quick and it always has a place. Organizing your closet by season or color helps you to be able to store clothes somewhere else that you may not need, or make it easier to put together an outfit. Sorting can also be a way to make organizing fun.
