Do you look around your house and see clutter and chaos in every room? Do you feel so crowded by your stuff that you feel like you don’t have room to live the kind of life you dream about? Now is the time to get serious about reorganizing and de-cluttering your home. 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. The area where you do your laundry is a good starting point. Set up a system that minimizes your movements. You could have all family members bring their dirty clothes to a centrally located basket every day before leaving for work, school, or play. 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 get your family’s cooperation, make a simple rule: if your clothes aren’t in the hamper, they don’t get washed. The lesson will be quickly learned.

How much time and energy do you waste finding a large empty space in which to open your ironing board and then trying to get the ungainly thing set up? A great way to save space, time, and frustration is to install a wall mounted 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 are ready to iron, all you have to do is fold the board down and get started. 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. You might also consider at this time ways to make your home more comfortable and inviting so your family will be less likely to want to let it get all cluttered again.
