An organized home tends
to be a happy home. Why? Because you know where everything is, you can easily
find it, and when guests come over, there isn’t clutter laying on the floor
everywhere.
Sometimes, though,
getting organized in the first place, or doing some spring cleaning can be overwhelming.
Where do you start, what do you use, and what are the best tips to stay
organized? These are all questions that can be
answered.
We have six ways to help
you organize your home so that it stays clean and tidy.
Have Storage Containers
Storage containers are
sometimes underrated as they can be so helpful with organizing basically everything. Don’t think that you
should only keep your storage containers in a closet though. You can find many decorative ones that would be excellent on the
end of a counter, on the coffee table, or in a bookcase.
Install Shelving

items back where you go them from when you’re
done. It’s easy to just leave a book on
the coffee table and put it away later. However, soon that book becomes two with papers stacked on top. So,
once you’re done with something, take the
few seconds to put it away.
Have a Cleaning Routine
Although it doesn’t sound
like fun, a regular
cleaning routine will not only help you keep your house clean, but it will
also help you stay organized. A clean house is one that is tidy and organized.
Have a schedule posted
that the whole family can see. Prioritize items from what needs to get done
daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly. Assign chores to certain family members so that everyone knows
what they should be doing.
Don’t let organizing overwhelm you. By simply incorporating
