Keep order and gain time!
Order in the bedroom
1. Create storage space
A cupboard is not enough! Ideally, all the other furniture in the bedroom also offers storage space: beds with drawers or drawers (or legs so high that you can slide boxes for bedding or clothes underneath), spacious bedside tables with drawers, upholstered benches with fold-up seat, chests of drawers, etc. And there's plenty of room for everything).
2nd ban
Clothes horse and ironing board have to stay outside. Not only do they look messy and bulky, they also make the room uncomfortable. Put it in the broom cupboard or the kitchen cabinet! If there is room only in the bedroom, stow it so that you can not see it from the bed.
3. Sort out
Yes, it has to be - preferably always at the end of a season: clearing out the cupboard and wiping things out, sorting clothes according to the "keep, give away, throw away" principle (and have the power to actually dispose of the things).
Order in the kitchen
1. Divide
Who does not know that: menus of pizza and sushi service wedge with screwdrivers, kitchen rubbers, batteries, wine corks and advertising leaflets to the kitchen drawer chaos. There is only one thing to do: always dispose of advertising in paper garbage and keep the remaining odds in check with the aid of classification systems - there's z. For example, at Ikea or Muji, or you can build them quickly from small cardboard boxes.
2. Set priorities
Honestly, do you really need the blender, the juicer and the waffle iron? It's better to confine to devices that you use often, and put the rest in the basement. And bulky items such as sieves or ladles make good on space-saving hook strips.
3rd place use
The insides of closet and pantry doors often hold untold storage potential: Equipped with wire baskets, hooks or so-called "shoe organizers", they are the favorite place for supplies, spices or even cleaning utensils.
Order in the bathroom
1. Transfer
The ugliest in every bathroom are the many different shower gel and shampoo bottles. If you fill their contents in simple aluminum, porcelain or glass containers, it looks much neater and more elegant.
2. play hotel
What we like so much in luxurious hotel baths? The neatly folded or hung towels, all the vials lined up on a tray, and the spotless (and down to the tray) empty surfaces around sink and bathtub. You can also have it at home! Simply hide everyday trash in drawers and cupboards, invest in beautiful towel racks and arrange fine bottles in front of the mirror.
3. polishing
After each bath, shower or brushing your teeth, wash your sink, bath or shower tray with clear water (if you are careful, use a rag and a little scrub milk) and dry and polish the fittings with the towel. This will take at most a few minutes - and the bathroom always looks like freshly cleaned.
Order in the hallway
1. stowing
For the hallway applies as for the bedroom: All furniture should have storage space function, so have drawers, hooks or compartments, be equipped with baskets or boxes and can be well divided inside. So that they are not completely overcrowded at some point, just keep the things that you need every day (winter coats can also go to the cellar in summer).
2. Swipe
Many coat hooks full of black jackets rarely look nice. If you scratch the wall behind it also black, it looks tidier - and one or the other (!) Colorful jacket starts to shine.
3. Distribute
Free surfaces in the hall seem to magically attract the chaos. The best way to prevent that is by getting used to always putting everything in its place: letters on the desk or to the advertising leaflets in the old paper, keys to the keys and caps in the closet. And one more tip: Do not even put anything into a jar bowl or drawer - too seductive.
Order in the home office
1. Select
It's hard to say goodbye, but no one needs a dozen promotional pens, most of which write badly or even no longer. Ten favorite pens may stay so, the rest has gone. The same applies to notepads.
2. Digitize
Postcards, Christmas cards, birthday cards, birth announcements, children's drawings - nobody likes to throw away paper memories. The problem: At some point the mountains are just too high. The solution: Scan and save, but not without first having thought about an ordering system for the computer. Digital chaos can also be stressful.
3. Store
Sounds stuffy, but helps immensely: filing once a week - and always clean up the desk, before closing time.However, it is essential to avoid accumulation of heaps and to "temporarily park" current work documents in storage baskets or shelves.
