This may sound familiar: You’re running late for work and know in your head the best outfit you going to wear. Unfortunately with a over stuffed closet and crammed dresser your finding that your shirt is like looking for a lost person at a Dave Matthews concert (and if you’re asking who that is, our point, exactly). The truth is, a cluttered home is just like a lost person in a large concert, it’s simply not ideal. Here’s how to make your house feel less cramped and lost:
Move Up
One of the best moves you can make in a room is elevating the bed and adding storage space underneath. Most bright minds don’t even think of this incredible way to use space! Bed risers are cheap and found at most home goods stores. Find a set of drawers or containers that can fit easily under the box spring and can hold items taking up too much space in your house—like winter coats, extra throws, board games, stinky blankets or holiday decorations.
Add Mirrors
Mirrors are a trusty tool for adding the illusion of more space in your house. If you’re uncomfortable in tight places and feel your home is too cluttered or too small, this may help put you at ease. At first glance, a mirror can make your home seem larger than it is, while adding an extra bounce of light to dark corners. If you have anything blocking your vanity or full-length mirror (or window sills, for that matter), move it to a different spot. Yes this means knickknacks, shoes, and books. Your house will thank you!
Do you have a “chairdrobe,” aka a chair you use as extra closet space? We’ve all been there. Sometimes that extra step from the dryer to the hanger is, well, a long journey. However, if you really know how to organize for more space, hang up those wayward sweaters and tuck away unfolded shirts to make a big difference in your room.
Organize Mail
One of the biggest organizational hacks is creating a place for mail. Piles of mail on the table, a few flyers on the couch, some bills on the night stand, and documents on the desk all add up to clutter. Also studies have shown that this type of clutter will cause you not to rest your mind and can add to stress. It’s a good idea to invest in some handy bins that will help you organize the bills and magazines. And be sure to shred junk mail (with confidential information) at least once a month to decrease additional clutter from piling up.
