How to Declutter Every Room in Your Home

If you want to do some cleaning around your house, you should give yourself a better system in order to keep your home cleaner from that moment on. There are tons of organization tips you can use to keep each room in your home looking spotless. Let’s take a look at a few of them for the different parts of your home:


In alphabetical order…

BATHROOM

When getting started on the bathroom, you will first want to clean out your medicine drawer. You most likely haven't opened it in a while and, whether you know it or not, medication can expire. You will want to throw out all the things that you completely forgot you had as well as any expired medication. As far as your bathroom sink goes, throw out any makeup or skincare products that might be outdated as well. Check out your shower and bottom drawers and discard anything that you don't use or need anymore. Try to move all the items you use often up to where you can easily access them. Consider buying small baskets or plastic containers to hold your products and items that you need to use on a daily basis. There will be so much more storage space after you've cleaned out all your drawers. Organize everything nicely for a clutter-free bathroom.

BEDROOM

In this room, you will want to start with your nightstands. Only put what you need there. You don’t need to place anything on your nightstand other than the products and items that you use before bed. You can make space for a lamp, the book you're currently reading, night creams, or maybe an extension cord with plugs for charging your devices. This area should not have anything but what you need immediately before bed and when you wake up. Your floor should be absent of any clothes that you might have lazily changed out of and left there. Put any worn clothes in your laundry hamper and everything else where it belongs. 

CLOSET

When you get to your closet, you should consider getting rid of the clothes that you don't wear anymore. If you haven't touched it in the past 2 years, you probably aren’t going to touch it anytime soon. Consider donating such items to either local charities, family/friends or even selling them. Cleaning out your closet completely will give you the chance to put in some organizers and drawers to separate different kinds of clothing for easy picking in the mornings.

LIVING ROOM

It can be a little hard to keep this room clean since it is where you and your guests might hang out the most, but you will want to declutter this area regularly. Figure out places to put all your items and how to store all entertainment like video game consoles, remotes, and board games. Ottomans are great for seating and storage all in one. They are also very cute and will add a little style to your space.


KITCHEN

A kitchen is a place where you cook, eat, drink, and socialize. You will want to keep this room tidy and functional. Think about how organized you want to be. Getting little containers and separators for different utensils, items, and such will help keep everything tidy. You will first want to empty all drawers and countertops and organize everything by category. Decide where you want each item to be placed based on convenience and organize all drawers and countertops. When you're done placing everything where it's supposed to be, wipe down all your countertops.
