Despite our best intentions, life finds a way to pile up. Literally. If you’re finding that your spaces are feeling more chaotic than calming, it’s probably time to reassess your organization and storage strategy. You’ll be amazed at how a few pieces of versatile furniture can transform the vibe in any room by keeping all your most-loved items neatly contained—whether that be clothing, books, knicknacks, electronics, or children’s toys. Read our complete guide below to learn more about upgrading your home’s organization.
It may feel daunting at first, especially if you’re attempting a complete home overhaul. Don’t throw in the towel before you even begin. Here are some helpful steps to make this task feel manageable.
Start with the room that causes the most stress.
For tight quarters, versatility is key: look into desk options with a smaller footprint. On the other hand, if you have the luxury of a spacious home office, you can consider a more wide-spread option. Either way, be sure to measure your space before purchasing.
What’s Your Work Scope?
Prioritizing the spaces that need attention the most can keep you focused and will have the most payoff. Your sense of accomplishment will fuel the momentum needed to tackle the next project.
Take inventory of what you want to keep.
For many, extra storage space can be hard to find, especially in smaller homes or shared apartments. To maximize your organization space, it’s important to only organize the items you want to keep around. When considering a new piece of organizational furniture, take the opportunity to cull down your things prior to buying.
Take proper measurements
Adding more furniture to a space can actually add to a cluttered feeling if there isn’t ample clearance between other items. Before you buy, take down all the dimensions you’ll need—such as wall lengths, ceiling heights, and distance between furniture.
Assess existing organization and storage solutions.
Are there pieces you’d like to keep? Does the drawer of your dresser keep getting stuck? Would your space benefit from vertical storage rather than horizontal storage? Identifying what’s working and what isn’t can help guide you when you start shopping around for new items. If you have styles that you want to build around, it will also inform the aesthetic of whatever space you’re decluttering.
Understand your budge.
Depending on the size and materials of the organization and storage pieces you’re eyeing, the price range will vary. Luckily, there’s a solution for any budget, you simply need to know what to look for. Furniture made from solid woods or metals are often more premium materials as they’re durably crafted to add long term value. Composite and synthetic materials such as engineered woods, plastics, or resins are great cost-effective options that can be stylish options to create serene spaces.
Organization by Room
Let’s explore some of the most common organization recommendations by room.
Entryway
This area sees a lot of foot traffic. This usually translates to a lot of footwear, outerwear, accessories, and other gear that can pile up and greet your guests with an overflowing mess. Consider the following furniture and accessories to keep things clear:
Hall tree
A versatile piece of furniture that includes a bench, hanging hooks, and shoe storage.
Storage Bench
An entryway seating area with added space for shoes, outerwear, or accessories.
Entry Table or Console Table
A slim-style table placed against the wall near the entryway to place keys, mail, and decorative items
Wall Hooks or Coat Rack
Simple accessories for hanging coats, hats, bags, and scarves. Placed right by the door for ease of use when going in and out.
Kitchen
If you love to cook, you may feel as though you’re swimming in appliances, cookware, and dishware. Keeping countertops clear contributes to a sense of serenity in the space, and makes it easier to clean. Here are some recommendations:
Kitchen Shelving
Additional standalone shelving for keeping dry goods, cook books, cookware, and other appliances. Ideal for kitchens without significant cabinet or drawer space.
Storage Containers and Bins
Wrangles bulk food items and snacks tidy within cabinets.
Drawer Organizers
Tames the mess of silverware and kitchen tools within drawers, helping to maximize the space.
