5 Awesome Home Organizing Ideas You Need To Know

The Benefits of an Organized Home

 These home-organizing ideas hopefully will save you precious time and money and help you stay organized! I don’t know about you, but after a long day, the last thing I want to do is come home to an unorganized mess. 

A clean, organized home cuts down on your cleaning time. If everything is kept in its place, you will have to do minor straightening at the end of the day. Gone will be the days of spending all day Saturday cleaning. 

Tip: Stick to a cleaning schedule and clean a little a day. Then cleaning your whole home won’t be so overwhelming. 

An organized home is good for our mental health. However, the more clutter we have, the harder it will be to find something we lose, like our keys. I don’t know how often this has happened to me. 

If you love having people over,  has it ever happened to you that someone stops over out of the blue, and your house is a mess? Not that your home will always be perfect, but having a sound system will help keep your house tidy and avoid embarrassment if someone stops over without notice.  

Starting an organizing project doesn’t have to be complicated. Check out these home storage ideas to help keep your home in good repair!

1. Kitchen Organization

I have always struggled with organizing my kitchen. This is because we have moved so much, and every apartment we have lived in has different sizes of cabinets and kitchen layouts. But you can do a few things to keep your kitchen organized, no matter the size.

Using vertical space in the kitchen is the best way to keep everything in its place when you have a small space. For instance, I rarely have room to hang a towel bar or the area for items such as olive oil, zip lock bags, seasonings, etc., to be easily accessible.  

So I used this Magnetic Spice Rack Organizer that sticks to the refrigerator. It’s a perfect use of space. I can easily grab all of my go-to items quickly.

Stackable sliding drawers work well for storage solutions under the kitchen sink. Fill the storage bins with cleaning supplies and extra kitchen towels. These stackable bins can also be used for storage in your cabinets to store canned goods or other condiments.

When organizing my dry goods, I love to use mason jars. I have a farmhouse-themed home, and the mason jars add a nice touch to my kitchen. In addition, they are practical and multipurpose.

To organize a junk drawer, take everything out and plan what kinds of things you want to put in the drawer. Then, use drawer organizers to keep everything neatly in place.

2. Home Organizing Ideas for the Bathroom

Have you ever opened your medicine cabinets, hoping nothing would fall out? I’m guilty of this! So here are a few bathroom organization ideas.

If you have a small bathroom, you may have storage space you haven’t even thought of using. Try placing a narrow shelving unit, and add your extra hand towels and toiletries. If you still need more storage, use an over-the-door storage shelf. 

 I love wicker baskets to hide my cosmetics. Clear plastic bins look nice if you are not concerned about hiding your toiletries. But you have to keep them organized! Or else it will make your bathroom look messy. 

The storage bins come in all shapes and sizes to store cotton balls or make-up brushes. You can use them inside the medicine cabinet or under the bathroom sink. 

If I asked you how many hair styling tools do you have? What would you say? I have at least 3. A blow dryer, flat iron, and a hair curler. Need a solution for your hair tools?

To store your tools on your bathroom counter, use a tool organizer. Then, your styling tools will be right there when you need them.

3. Organizing your closets

It is easy to ignore our messy closets. But if you want to tackle organizing your closet, here are some things you might need.

1. Figure out a  plan. If you have a lot of clothes or shoes, you may want to go through your clothing and donate clothes you have not worn in the last six months. If you are like me, you’re holding on to that dress you promised you would get back into five years ago. If it still doesn’t fit, let it go.

FYI: I did get rid of a lot of clothing that was too small, and then I did lose weight and wished I had kept some of those clothes. So choose wisely.

2. Use wall space to add more storage. Use storage shelving or wall hooks to place your smaller items.

These same tips will work in your linen closets. Roll your towels to save space, and if you have room on the floor, keep your extra laundry room supplies, and clean rags in bins on the floor.

4. Car organizing hacks

After doing a little research, I want to share with you 4 of my favorite car-organizing hacks.

1. I hate cleaning out sticky, messy cup holders. To prevent the mess, use cupcake liners. Brilliant! Just through them out when they are soiled. 
2. Keep a laundry basket in the car. I love this idea! At the end of the week, throw all the junk left in your vehicle in the basket and remove it from the car. 
3. Use shoe organizers to organize tools, garden supplies, or the kid’s toys for more storage in the trunk. Genius!
4. Organize your glove box with a small accordion file. Keep important documents like insurance, registration, car repair receipts, etc. 
5. Use a make-up organizer to keep your center console organized.

5. Home Organizing Ideas for the Bedroom

Whether you have a small bedroom or not. Keeping the room clean can be one of the hardest things to do. It’s so easy to forget about it because when we are in our room, we are either rushing in the morning or too tired to clean or organize anything when we are ready to head to bed. 

Here are some practical bedroom organization ideas. I hate to hang up my clothes. Use an over-the-door hook to hang your clothes on when you are in a hurry or tired. 

Utilize space under the bed by placing storage bins that can hold your off-season clothes. Storage furniture will also help keep the clutter away, saving space. If it’s time to purchase a new bed, think about a bed frame with built-in storage.

Organize your extra blankets and throws them on a blanket ladder. These little tips should help your bedroom become a calm, organized space.
