It’s a new year and a new decade! After the hustle and bustle of Christmas, January is the perfect time to reset your relationship with work, home-life, health and fitness so that you can make the most out of life. It’s a time where New Year resolutions are made, and goals are set to be accomplished. If you’re eager to get more productive and be less distracted this year then start your journey with a bit of simple organisation.

Clutter can play a significant role in how we feel about our homes, our workplaces, and ourselves. Messy homes and work spaces leave us feeling anxious, helpless, and overwhelmed…

Disorganised spaces can have a great impact on our physical and mental wellbeing but thankfully, clutter can be easily managed.

If organisation has fallen to the bottom of your to-do list, then here’s seven simple steps on how to prioritise it!

Simple Steps

Start small

Start small - make your bed every morning. This simple task will become a habit which will enable you to adopt better everyday habits. Making your bed gives you a sense of accomplishment and increases productivity for the day ahead. It also makes your room look cleaner, more inviting and increases space in smaller bedrooms.

Kitchen Sink

Keep your kitchen sink empty by washing up and drying tableware after every meal. Work as a team with your family, housemates or partner to get these tedious jobs out the way - quickly and easily.

Rubbish

Take out the rubbish often to avoid an unsightly overflow (and undesirable scent). This is a good habit to get into and it’s little tasks like this that keep home-life manageable.

Wash Basket

Encourage your family to put worn clothes in the wash basket, but don’t wait until the wash basket is full. Instead, plan a wash cycle halfway through the week (or more frequently) to stay on top of the pile. You will feel the benefit when the weekend arrives and you’re free to enjoy more time on hobbies and relaxation.

Cluttered Hallways!

Say goodbye to cluttered hallways! Keep outerwear off tables, chairs and stair bannisters with trendy, practical coats hooks. Self-adhesive coats hooks are a super easy option as tools are not required to fix these hooks to a wall or door. All you need to do is remove the self-adhesive backing and position it firmly to the surface. Available as a single, double or quadruple peg, these simple coat hooks are presented in either a matte black, smooth satin or shiny polished stainless steel.

Storage Solutions

Invest in some storage solutions around the house and encourage family members to use them. Desk storage and drawer organisers are helpful for keeping documents and stationery organised in home studies and at homework stations. If everything has a place, you won’t waste time and energy searching for something because you will know exactly where it lives.

Cupboards and Drawers

When you’ve got more time, work room by room to determine what items are a keeper and what needs throwing out! If you’re forcefully closing drawers and cupboards that are full to the brim, they’re likely to get broken. If this has already happened, then it’s time to replace the broken knobs on your drawers. Our mushroom shaped drawer knobs in satin brass finish offer a luxe aesthetic which instantly upgrades the look of furniture pieces. Adding character and charm with its warm hue and curved contours, our mushroom shaped drawer knobs are also available in matte black and chrome finish to suit all interiors. Eliminate the stress of other broken household necessities by making time for some DIY repairs. Tighten the loose curtain pole, clear the hair blockage from the shower drain and remove the carpet stain that you never got around to cleaning.
