In recent years, the style of building homes has changed a lot, creating smaller spaces and smaller houses than in the past. Housing has been minimised and the needs that are covered in these spaces have been reduced. That is why many of the people who buy this type of housing do not have as much storage space and it is very difficult for them to keep their house tidy and with enough space for everything. It can also happen in larger homes, either due to a lack of organization, not knowing how to organize and distribute belongings well so that everything fits, or even having too many things that may become unnecessary. That is why today we bring you an article with tips on how to organize your home and do it in a way that is as efficient as possible and that allows you to have plenty of space and know which things have priority and which do not in a simple way.
Plan the method of organization
The first step to take is to think about the objective of organizing your house, apart from the obvious, leaving it clean and without things in between. You don’t have to start emptying everything and throwing things away without any sense, because you probably don’t know where to store it or how to organize the spaces that are free. Think first of all about each space in the house, what use you want to give it and how you can take advantage of that space to store your belongings and how to do it. If you have, for example, a room just to store things, you can think about reorganizing it and giving it a specific use or to store a type of objects or clothes. The goal is for everything to have its place to store, so that you can find it easily and not end up as before. You can organize each space as it suits you best: with compartmentalized cabinets, with drawers, shelves and shelves, etc.
Know exactly what we have
As simple as that, before you start organizing and throwing anything away, you must know what exactly you have in your home. So it’s time for more chaos, take out all your belongings and put them in the same place if possible. Only then will you really know everything you have and you will be able to see if you keep too many things or not. Once everything is out, don’t be scared to see all that clutter, since it is the best way to be able to reorganize and choose what we really use and need.
Nothing should be left in drawers, boxes, cabinets or shelves, everything outside.
Time to review and reconsider what is necessary
Once you see everything you have in the same space, it’s time to choose what you really use and what is important. Para poder organizar tu casa eficientemente tienes que quitarte de encima todo lo innecesario .
Start small and by categories. You can start with the easy way, so you don’t get so overwhelmed from the beginning. Sorting out all the items in the loose drawers you have around the house.
Choose what you use, what you need, and everything else out. Things that have already had their use and are no longer useful, or objects that you haven’t used for months, you will probably not use them again, even if you have it saved “just in case”.
The most difficult thing, the clothes in the closets
Little by little get into the most difficult thing to sort and throw away, the clothes.
This point is the most difficult, because we have many clothes that we have not worn for even years, but that we also keep “just in case”, “in case I get fat”, “in case I lose weight”, and many more excuses that at this point will no longer serve us. If you haven’t used a piece of clothing in more than a year, it’s very likely that you’re not going to do it anymore, so throw it away, because the only thing it does in your closet is collect dust.
Next step, reorder what you have chosen to keep
Once you’ve gotten rid of the unnecessary stuff in your home, it’s time to re-tidy up everything you’ve decided to keep.
For this you have many methods, and you should choose the one that suits you best according to the space you have to store and how it will be most comfortable for you when it comes to organizing it. As there are different methods, we show you a few to make the choice a little easier and organize your home in the best way:
