With all that “new year, new you” energy buzzing around, we thought we’d share our best tips for reinventing your home! After all, it’s chilly outside – and decluttering your home is much cheaper (and just as effective) as hitting the gym. Here are the best home organizing tips to make your home the best it can be, from our team who can sell any home in 24 hours.
Here’s what you need to throw out
The best home organizing tips start with throwing things out! Of course, there are some very obvious items you should throw out, donate, or sell. Things like clothes you or your family have grown out of, dusty piles of old magazines, broken bits and pieces, and things you’ve just never, ever worn. But here are some extras you may not have thought about!
#1 – Wire hangars
These can easily damage clothes, hooking onto material and bending so things hang in a sloppy way. They’re also not very efficient for storing clothing!
Instead, get rid of them all and invest in smarter storage options. This includes hangars and organizers that can hang a few pairs of pants at a time, multiple scarves, or belts. Another good idea is to invest in velvet hangars, as these stop tops and blouses slipping off the hangar and ending up in a creased mess on your wardrobe floor.
#2 – Old electronics and gadgets
Old wires and connectors, spare chargers, unused or broken tech, and other clutter take up a serious amount of what should be functional storage space. This is especially true in our tech-driven lives, so getting rid of old, broken, and spare gadgets, wires, and parts is one of our most important home organizing tips. Old phones, tablets, and other devices should be sold or donated if they still work, but just remember to do a full factory reset before you do. The rest can be sent to electronics recyclers.
#3 – Containers with missing pieces
Yes, the rest of the item is in great condition – but if you’re missing a lid or integral part of the unit, then you simply can’t use it! What’s worse, it makes it much more difficult to keep your cupboards tidy and find what you need. Scrabbling around with a food container bottom searching for a lid that’s not there is no one’s idea of a good time! It’s best to let it go and donate it, and either replace it with a new version or do without it.
#4 – Expired makeup, medications, and toiletries
Bathrooms are not usually the first place we declutter – but they should be! Expired medications can become ineffective or unhealthy and should be disposed of according to these guidelines – don’t flush them. Old cosmetics don’t work well and can even become a breeding ground for bacteria, and the same applies to old toiletries. Get rid of anything that is expired and organize your cupboards so that you don’t overstock unnecessarily.
#5 – Excess organizers and storage items
Buying new storage and organizing products is almost as good as actually organizing your house! At least, that’s how it feels! But most of us end up with all kinds of bags, boxes, cannisters, jars, and caddies we don’t ever use.
The best home organizing tips start with organizing your home FIRST, then buying storage items after that. It’s not quite as fun, but it gets the real job at hand done.
Once you’ve donated, sold, or thrown out all the things you no longer need, go through your storage items, and start packing everything away. Then you can go buy more storage or organizing items where you actually need them and donate or sell all the excess boxes and cannisters you collected over the years that no longer fit your needs.
