Spots in Your Home You Definitely Need to Organize

You know that one spot. The one closet or corner where things are piling up. We all have it. But don’t worry, these easy tips will help you tackle those spots in your home where the clutter is becoming too much and help you get more organized in no time!

1. The cupboard above your fridge

You probably don’t think about this cupboard a lot, it can be hard to reach so you save it for the things you don’t need day-to-day. But it can become where you shove miscellaneous kitchen items until it all falls out on your head one day, so get ahead of it and look at what might have built up over the years. If you’ll never use those floral teacups, a trip to a donation centre might be in your future.

2. The hallway closet

This catch-all space is where your vacuum is crammed in next to your wrapping paper and winter coats buried by boxes of old sports equipment. By virtue of being a storage space in a high-traffic area, a closet hallway can be where things go when the rest of the home needs to be organized, only to become a mess. Give it a once over and see what you find!

3. The chair in the corner of your bedroom

Once, you had dreams of spending lazy afternoons curled up in a cozy armchair with a good book. The reality is that life gets busy, and the chair now holds a couple of purses and some clothes from when you couldn’t pick the right outfit. Take the time to get everything back into place, you’ll be surprised at how it frees that corner of your bedroom and makes the space much more inviting.

4. The bottom of your bathroom vanity

A repository for the clutter you need out of the way so that your vanity can stay clear for daily use, if your bathroom vanity features drawers for storage, the one on the bottom can fill with junk over the years. Take an afternoon to clear out the moisturizer gift sets you’ll never use and reclaim more storage in your bathroom.

5. Your home entryway

This one is a bit odd – how can you overlook a spot in your home you see every time you enter it? But the reality is that our home entryways see us pass through very quickly, either in a rush out the door, or looking forward to relaxing at the end of the day. It can be very easy, especially if you have a family, for shoes, umbrellas, and backpacks to end up in a hodgepodge, but that’ll just create a tripping hazard so invest in some storage solutions and make sure everyone has a spot for the items they grab when they leave.
