Keeping a home organised, clean and together can be a difficult task with work, personal matters and family. The key to keeping a home clean is to constantly do smaller tasks throughout the week – rather than designating a cleaning day
once every week or two weeks for every task.
An well-designed and decorated home is an organised home, and we have plenty of tips and tricks to get you started! Read on to find out more…
The entrance to your home and everyone's first impression – the corridor – is the perfect place to start when it comes to organising.
Consider functional and efficient storage and shelving systems as to make sure the area is kept clean, open and useful. Under-stair storage is a perfect way to maximise space and keep a great modern and sleek look.
Creating a schedule is one of the best things you can do when thinking about how to keep your home organised for the long-term. Take time out of your week to sit down and create a schedule – going by the most important items first and the smaller details last. Whether it's designating a specific day of the week or assigning tasks on different days, the best form of cleaning and organising is the type you will consistently do!
We suggest that you take one day every one or two weeks to do a deep-cleaning session in your home. This will keep it hygienic and safe for all those who enter!
Letting laundry and clothing pile up is one of the worst things you can possible do. Not only is laundry time consuming, but dirty clothes can easily make a space or room look incredibly cluttered. We suggest putting the laundry on as soon as you have enough clothing for a load!
Wondering where to store your washer for the most efficient placement? This article has great advice on where to place your laundry appliances.
The above tip goes for dishes too! Try your hardest not to let dishes pile up, because even one or two dishes left in the sink can make the space look horribly dirty.
Make sure to wash as you use and try to make a habit out of it. If that isn't possible, try to do dishes every night before you go to sleep so you can wake up in a clean and inspiring space ready for a healthy breakfast session.
Not only do weekly plans help, but daily plans, or even daily list-making can really help you out as well!
Find a place in your home with minimal distractions and sit down to make a list of the things you need to do early in the morning, or sit down each evening for bed and have an organisational list-making session of what needs to be done the following day.
Be reminded that keeping your home clean and organised has nothing to do with taking the fun out of your day! We promise that once you have a consistently clean home that you will be able to relax more easily and enjoy everything your home has to offer.
