As more of us are spending time at home, we find ourselves with the perfect opportunity to clean out closets, pantries, and other cluttered spaces. Tackling clutter all at once can be a daunting project, but the good news is that the smaller steps you take toward an organized home, the more natural it becomes to stay organized. While you may never conquer all of the messes all of the time, it doesn’t hurt to try. Here are some of our best stay-at-home organization hacks to get you started.

Cold Storage

If you’re like us, you are keeping your grocery trips to a minimum. And keeping an inventory on top of your freezer can help! Whether you have an itty-bitty fridge freezer or a large deep freezer in the basement, it doesn’t help you a whole lot if you don’t know what you have in there. You’ll either end up buying more of what you don’t need or not getting what you do! Keeping a running inventory will help you know exactly what you have and what you used.

Don’t Waste Space

If you need more in-home storage space, get creative! Think about additional areas that you can put to work. Key examples include over doors and underneath beds. These areas are valuable real estate in your home and are often overlooked.

Keep it moving

To allow for greater flexibility and to help keep the clutter under control, consider storage options on wheels! Wheeled carts can hold a variety of accessories in a small amount of space, and can be wheeled back into a closet or out of the way, when not in use.

Box It Up

Clear baskets or wire bins will make linen closet organization a breeze. And in the bathroom, give hair and skincare products an easy-to-find home! Plastic school pencil boxes with lids can keep your junk drawer organized as well.

Kill Clutter Hot Spots

Flat surfaces like your dining room table, entryway table and kitchen counters tend to accumulate piles faster than any other spot in the house. The best way to tackle this, is to clear all flat surfaces as part of your nightly routine—right along with brushing your teeth. If that doesn’t work, you can always physically block any surface that has become a clutter haven.

Organize with Color

Whether you’re working to organize the family room or striving to get your home office under control, use color to enhance your efforts. Assign each kid a different colored container to keep his or her belongings in and keep them responsible for cleaning up after themselves. Organize projects, bills and other important papers by function and color in your home office.

Whether you take it slowly over a few weeks or plan to tackle it in one weekend, commit to your organization project and try to keep it up throughout the year. And remember we are always here to help our Sparta, NJ storage customers reduce clutter and keep items safe throughout the year.
