Do you look around your house and see clutter and chaos in every room? Are you so overwhelmed by the clutter and mess that you don’t feel like you can lead the life you dream about? Maybe it is time for a serious de-cluttering project. All it may take is just an input of time and a little money to make your home much more efficient and liveable.
After you have taken out the trash and stuffed everything out of sight into drawers and closets, you need to consider ways to make your use of your home space more efficient, so the clutter doesn’t immediately creep back up and overwhelm you again. Your laundry area is a good place to start. Arrange things in a manner that minimizes your movements. For example, have everyone in your family deposit their dirty clothes in a centrally located hamper every day before they leave for work or school. Then, instead of wandering all over the house twice a week looking for THEIR dirty clothes, all you have to do is grab the full hamper and head for the washing machine. To ensure cooperation from kids and spouses, make a rule: only items in the hamper will be washed. The lesson will be quickly learned.
How many minutes do you spend every week looking for a large enough empty space to set up your ironing board, and then wrestling with the ungainly contraption to set it up? A great way to save space, time, and frustration is to install a wall-mount ironing board in a convenient spot near your laundry machines. You can find several different models to fit your needs, from a full sized board that opens out into a room to a more compact version that fits into a tighter space. When you need to iron one item or multiple items, simply fold the board down and away you go. No more pinched fingers, twisted backs, and curses as you wrestle with your old-fashioned board that takes up too much space.
As well as the laundry room, think about other areas of the house where you spend lots of time. Organize your kitchen by placing pots, pans and other cooking items close to the area you use them. Check out outdoor spaces such as your garage or workshop and investigate ways to make more efficient use of space. And, while you are at it, consider ways to make your whole house more fun and attractive so your family will be less likely to let it get all cluttered up.
