The best tips for efficiently organizing your house

Want to trade your outdoor activities for home pleasures? It's time to prepare for the time you'll spend indoors. Here are some useful tips to help you organize your space for the upcoming fall season.

Decluttering for better storage

Drawers, closets and closets are good places to start. The items found there can be organized in boxes, baskets, chests and crates. Not only will the space be tidy, but you will find it easier to find what you are looking for. Then, shred the piles of waste paper or file them in folders. Colour systems work perfectly: green for finances, blue for everyday life and orange for personal files. Finally, hide the electrical wires in boxes or group them together with fasteners or hooks to clear the space instantly.

Using the walls is a winning trick

Many objects can also be installed on the walls and used for storage. They will enhance your decor. Find a coat hook to free the staircase from the coats on it, install shelves to store books and other items, and hang baskets or pockets to store toys, scarves or caps. In closets and laundry rooms, place shoe racks and hooks to hang a little bit of everything: keys, umbrellas, mops, brooms, etc.

Give a second life to some objects

In the fall, summer items can be put away in a storage area. Before storing the summer season, take the time to sort out the clothes, furniture and decoration. Keep some items, but donate and recycle as well, to reduce clutter and optimize your storage space. Be creative and reuse boxes, crates and baskets of all kinds to store efficiently. Shoe boxes or clementine boxes, skilfully decorated, can offer versatile containers for small objects.
