5 Strategies
for Decluttering a Small Space
It is a often difficult to keep an apartment or small house
organized and tidy. Below you find top five strategies for controlling chaos in
smaller homes and apartments.
1. Embrace
Storage Containers
If you don't buy the appropriate storage products, things pile
up quickly in a small space. Embrace the fact that you have stuff and like to
have certain things around. Just find a way to manage it all so you don't feel
overwhelmed by it.
2. Furniture As Storage
2. Furniture As Storage
If you're in the market for a new bed, consider looking at one
that has drawers underneath or at least enough height to store some
under-the-bed bins. Bedside tables are typically too small to hold all the
things people want to use them for. If you're buying a new one, think about
whether one with shelves and/or drawers might work for you.
3. Think Vertical
3. Think Vertical
In small homes it is very important to maximize all of the
space. Think vertical. If your desk is too small or you don't have a home
office, maybe some hanging file folders would work in the kitchen to organize
incoming papers. Bulletin boards and magnetic boards are also great places to
display artwork, school reminders, travel plans etc.
4. A Little Bit Each Day
4. A Little Bit Each Day
People often say that they don't have enough time to do any
organizing, but everyone can find 10-15 minutes in their day to focus on at
least one small space or project. You can spare 15 minutes a day to do arrangement.
You know the limit, so you will work more effectively: To File, To Toss, To
Shred, and To Do. Done.
5. Get
Rid of Things
Chances are you don't need most of the papers that you're
keeping — shred them. If you haven't worn that sweater for three years, donate
it. Expired food should be tossed. Clearing out even a few items will make you
feel calmer.
I hope this information is useful.
