#1 Use storage boxes and baskets.

First and foremost, the most important tip for organizing one’s home is having storage boxes. Obviously, you can store almost everything in boxes and baskets, from adornments, magazines or cleaners to your summer/winter clothing, blankets or towels!

Put the storage box or basket at the right place, depending on its content, its usage as well as the frequency of using it. For instance, a box with cleaners for kitchen should be kept in the cupboard under the sink and correspondingly, the box with bathroom cleaners should be kept in the cupboard under the washbasin. Boxes with winter/summer clothing could be kept in the attic as you would use them again after several months, while books and magazines could be stored in a pretty basket in your living room. Furthermore, in case you have an infant or a pet, store all their toys in a beautiful trunk so that they are not scattered across the floor. Of course, you could also take advantage of the space under your bed where you could keep small items that you use daily.

Moreover, if you have old items that you no longer use, such as bread baskets, baskets from gifts, buckets etc., you might as well turn them into storage containers.

#2 Choose furniture with storage space.

If you plan to buy furniture for your home, e.g. a new bed or sofa, opt for getting it with storage space. Therefore, you will store clothes or linen thus saving a lot of space in your wardrobes. Moreover, it is advisable to choose several storage stools so that you can put various small items inside.

#3 Οργανώστε τα συρτάρια σας.

Are you tired of constantly shuffling the contents in your drawers, looking for something you need? The solution is rather simple and of course, economical. Just buy drawer organizers which you can find in numerous sizes and designs, ideal for any kind of items that you want to organize. Another handy solution for organizing small objects, e.g. cosmetics, is the cosmetic bags which you can also carry wherever you go.

#4 Organize your wardrobes.

Does your wardrobe lack space for linen? Then, the simple tip to save space is to fold your towels or sheets into rolls! You can follow the same tactic with your pants too so that they will not occupy space on the hangers. In the end, you will discover how much empty space is left over in your wardrobe!

Another smart way to save space in your wardrobes is to pass a pop tab through one hanger and then, pass a second hanger through its hole. The results will amaze you!

#5 Remove objects you no longer use.

In every house, there are items you no longer use thus occupying space with no reason.So, choose clothes, linen or books you no longer need or want and give them away. Are you bored with some piece of furniture that is still in good condition? You can proceed in selling it! In this way, your rooms will get freed from things that are unnecessary for you but might be useful for others.

#6 Install small shelves.

The shelves are fit for any room of one’s house and promise to make your daily life much easier. Install some shelves in your bathroom where you will keep all your cosmetics and various toiletries gathered.
