ENTRANCE
Your entrance is the room that welcomes you home every day, it’s the first space your guests see, and it’s the room that sets the tone for the rest of your home. That’s why making sure your entryway is clutter free is crucial to decluttering! The best tool for a well-kept entrance is to create a drop station – a specific spot for all your day-to-day necessities like keys, wallets or purses. Consider placing a console table or hall tree right at your entrance to create an accessible space to find your daily necessities, and an easy spot to drop them when you get home. Entryway benches also help encourage guests to take their shoes off while giving them a com
LIVING ROOM
Your living room is your most shared space, it’s where you spend time together, unwinding and relaxing, and nothing can ruin that mood quicker than clutter. Entertainment centres can be a great way to avoid having the smorgasbord of cables being scattered about, while giving you a chance to aesthetically display your décor. Likewise, coffee tables and cabinets with drawers give you the chance to store your daily used items like remotes and books while still giving your living room a carefully curated look.
But remember, you can’t have the look of a well-designed living room without letting go of some things. Make sure everything has a deliberate place, like bookcases for stray literature, or storage ottomans for irregularly used blankets, and don’t be afraid to let go and donate things you know you don’t use anymore. Be deliberate in what you keep out in the open to give your living room that perfectly planned aesthetic!
BEDROOM
No matter how big or small, your bedroom should feel like your own personal oasis. A spot that’s just for you, where you can get ready for every new day and let go after every evening. That’s why your bedrooms require the extra little bit of attention! No one knows your space quite like you do, so take your time going through all your things – clothes, books, knick-knacks to make sure they still speak to you. Don’t be afraid to create a donation pile of everything you’ve loved but don’t really use or wear anymore!
Once you’ve finished going through everything, you can work on making sure everything has an easy to remember storage spot. Rather than stuffing everything into your closet, consider investing in new storage spaces. Whether you have tons of room to spare or you’re working with a tight space, it’s important that you look for storage solutions that work best for your unique space and tastes. Wardrobes can give you the option of shelving and drawers while still keeping the rest of your bedroom sleek and organized. Similarly, investing in beds with built in storage, dressers with plenty of drawers and night tables with storage space you can get all the space you need to be comfortable in your room, while still keeping all your necessities properly stored. Remember, if you make sure your storage space makes sense to you, that way you’ll never forget where things go.
BATH
Your bathroom can sometimes feel like the hardest place to keep organized. Between the towels, the toiletries and fact that it’s probably not your biggest room, it’s no wonder bathrooms get so overly cluttered. That’s why bathrooms are the best place for subtle storage. By using storage space that might go otherwise unnoticed, like under-the-sink cabinets, or floating shelves above the toilet, you can take advantage of every inch of space without overwhelming the eye. Make sure only regularly used items are at eye-level, or easy to reach, and everything else can be stored away, giving your bathroom a much more polished look.
