Simple Solutions To Keep Your Home Tidy And Clutter-Free

They say that a tidy home means a tidy mind. Clutter and mess can detract from the aesthetic of our homes as well as making them feel dark and cramped. If your home is cluttered, or you’re tired of trying to battle ever-growing piles of stuff, here are some simple solutions to help you keep your house tidy. 

• Plan a clear-out

The first step to take when embarking upon a mission to make tidying up easier is to plan a clear-out. Many of us are guilty of hoarding and hanging onto things that we don’t even want or need anymore. Take time out of your schedule to go through every room in the house, look through boxes, drawers and cupboards and set aside anything you don’t want to keep. You can donate or sell anything that is in good condition and take anything else to the tip for correct disposal.

• Make use of storage facilities

Storage facilities are brilliant for homeowners who have stuff that they want to hold onto but don’t have space to store. Self storage is ideal for large pieces of furniture, for example, sofas, chairs and chests, outdoor furniture and items such as paintings and pictures.

If you don’t want to throw furniture away or you have concerns about storing valuable or sentimental items in a garage or attic, look for local storage units such as SCA Self Storage and compare quotes. 

• Invest in storage solutions

Storage solutions can make tidying up a breeze as well as enhancing the look of living areas, hallways and corridors and bedrooms. There are all kinds of ideas you can use to free up space and keep your home free from clutter. From using hooks and rails to hang coats and store shoes on the backs of doors and hidden drawers for bedding and towels under your bed to shelving for pots, pans and jars in the kitchen, you can choose to conceal stuff or use storage as a focal point. Open and floating shelves, pigeon-hole shelving and pieces of furniture such as console tables, coffee tables and TV units with built-in drawers are both functional and stylish. 

• Adopt a tidying routine

Tidying up becomes much more time-consuming when piles of stuff are left to accumulate and simple cleaning tasks are neglected. Adopting a very simple tidying routine is an excellent way to free up time and prevent stress. Once you have storage systems and solutions in place, tidy as you go when you cook, clean up after mealtimes and take a few minutes to put toys and books away once your kids have gone to bed. 

When life gets hectic, the last thing you want is to be worrying about a messy, untidy and cluttered home. The good news is that there are some very easy ways to make tidying simple and stress-free. Invest in clever and stylish storage solutions, consider hiring a unit to store large items and things you don’t have room to keep at home, declutter once or twice a year and get into the habit of tidying as you go.
