THE FASTEST WAY TO UNCLUTTER

-

Makeroom and More, one of the country’s primary destinatio­ns for storage and organizati­on, can help make a clutter-free home. The brand specialize­s in space-saving solutions for closet, bath, kitchen, bedroom, office, garage, and even luggage. The wide range of products offers different options on how to be clutter-free. Here are some basic steps:

Tip No. 1: Start with storage space.

If a desk has a lot of stuff on it, all good intentions will be meaningles­s without a cabinet or box to sort them into. Before starting an organizing project, one must have the proper tools. A box that is clear is a better choice so contents are easily seen.

Buying too many shelves and stacking boxes, however, won’t force one to declutter. So, shop carefully.

Tip No. 2: Know the difference between an asset and a burden.

One must recognize what clutter really is, and how the space came to be cluttered in the first place. Clutter can be things one wants to use, or perfectly reasonable household products that simply lack a proper storage system. Some people love to shop. Understand­ing why one accumulate­s clutter helps get rid of it. Getting stackable drawers for inside a closet or bedside can be more beneficial than buying a bulky drawer.

Tip No. 3: Find the best storage solution.

A good storage solution helps create more space, reorganize­s items by grouping them together and makes thing easier to find by creating a proper “home.”

Profession­al organizers recommend using clear plastic containers that allow one to see inside the container. A more decorative basket is great for living spaces like dens and bedrooms. Labels will make for easy retrieval later.

Tip No. 4: Maximize.

The old rules apply here: “Out of sight, out of mind.” One needs to maximize areas that can be easily seen and reached. Things for everyday use must be kept within reach, in clear containers.

Tip No. 5: Enjoy.

After letting go of unneeded things, it’s time to enjoy the feeling of lightness and minimalism. It’s a constant effort to keep the home clutter-free. Makeroom and More always offers newways to improve space and declutter homes to make sure that people get the comfort they deserve.
