Keeping your home organized and beautiful may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be! With the right tips and strategies, you can transform your home into a clean, organized, and beautiful space. Here are 20 tips for keeping your home organized and beautiful.

18 Tips for Keeping Your Home Organized and Beautiful

Where To Start:

1. Start in the Laundry Room: The laundry room is often overlooked when it comes to home organization, but it is a great place to start. Take some time to organize the space and create an efficient system for sorting, washing, and folding laundry. Invest in some storage bins and containers to keep your laundry room organized.

2. Create a Focal Point in the Living Room: A focal point in the living room can make a huge difference in the overall look of the room. Choose a piece of furniture or artwork that stands out and creates a sense of balance in the room.

3. Involve Family Members: Keeping your home organized is a team effort. Get family members involved in the process and assign each person a specific task. This will help make the process more efficient and allow everyone to take ownership of the project. We allot Saturday mornings to cleaning and organizing chores. No one can go to a friend’s house or do anything fun until we each do our part.

Don’t Hold Onto Stuff:

4. Make Use of Storage Space: Maximizing storage space is key to keeping your home organized. Invest in some storage bins and containers to store extra items and maximize your storage space.

5. Don’t Keep Too Much Stuff: It’s easy to accumulate a lot of stuff over time, but try to keep only the essentials. Get rid of items that you no longer use or need. This will help keep your home clutter-free and organized.

6. Find a Great Way to Store Small Items: Small items like keys, sunglasses, and jewelry can be difficult to keep track of. Find a great way to store these items in an organized way. This could be a small basket or a wall-mounted organizer.

7. Make Use of Extra Space: If you have extra space in your home, make use of it! This could be a spare bedroom, a home office, or even a nook in the corner of the living room. Utilizing every inch of your home will help keep it organized and beautiful.

So Fresh and So Clean:

8. Clean Laundry Makes a Difference: I know, I know, the struggle is real. But staying on top of your laundry is a huge help in keeping your home clean and organized. Make it a family affair: sort, wash, and fold laundry on a regular basis together. In fact, kids are very capable of doing their own laundry, start to finish, even my 8-year-old. This will help keep your home looking so fresh and so clean.

9. Spot Clean at the End of the Day: Taking a few minutes at the end of the day to spot clean is a great way to keep your home organized. Put away any items that are out of place and make sure the kitchen is clean and organized. (Ugh…for me, that means no dishes in the sink at the end of the day. Brutal, but makes a big difference.)

10. Do a Deep Clean Every Once in a While: Even if you are staying on top of your daily cleaning routine, it’s important to do a deep clean every once in a while. This could be a full-house deep clean or just focusing on one room at a time.

Get That Storage:

11. Invest in Good Storage Bins and Containers: Investing in good storage bins and containers will help keep your home organized and clutter-free. Look for bins that are easy to label and store items in a way that makes sense.

12. Make Use of the Kitchen Cabinets: The kitchen cabinets are a great place to store items and keep your kitchen organized. Invest in some drawer dividers and utilize the inside of your cabinets to maximize storage space.

13. Declutter Regularly: Decluttering is an essential part of keeping your home organized. Set aside some time every month to go through your belongings and remove items you no longer need or use.

14. Follow the Marie Kondo Method: The Marie Kondo method of decluttering and organizing is a great way to keep your home clutter-free. Start by sorting your items into categories and then go through each item and ask yourself, “Does this bring me joy?”

Little Habits That Make a BIG Difference:

15. Take Care of Dirty Dishes Right Away: Taking care of dirty dishes right away will help keep your kitchen clean and organized. Make it a habit to take care of dishes as soon as you are done using them.

16. Make Your Bed Every Morning: Making your bed every morning is a great way to start your day and it can also help keep your bedroom organized and clutter-free.

17. Create a Cleaning Schedule: Creating a cleaning schedule will help keep your home clean and organized. Set aside certain days for deep cleaning and make sure to stick to the schedule.

18. Hire a Professional Cleaner or Organizer: If you don’t have the time or energy to keep your home organized, consider hiring a professional cleaner or organizer. A certified professional organizer can help you create an organizing system that works for your home and lifestyle. A professional cleaner can also help make sure your home is always clean and organized.
