Declutter Your Apartment
Declutter your apartment:
1. Use baskets in your decor. The right set of baskets complement any style – exotic, country or urban. Baskets make for great holders. You can put toys, books, throws, cleaning products, etc. in them. You can pick up inexpensive baskets at a discount store such as Target.
2. Add a second rod to closets. An additional bar allows for more clothes. Be smart. Set this item a couple of inches in front of the preset rod. Hang pants (or skirts/dresses) on the top and shirts on the bottom. Also, don’t forget to incorporate shoe hangers; they free up the floor and top shelf of a closet for other items. (Extra trip: Use a shoe hanger for purses too – but place in the hall closet.)
3. Put a shelf on the bathroom wall. Where? The best spot is above the toilet or towel rack. Get the kind of shelf with a lift in the front. (Here is an example.) Set toiletries on them. Don’t worry, they won’t fall unless you’re clumsy and knock them off with a hand.
4. Stick items under the bed. Yes, you were smart as a kid! The area underneath a bed is an excellent storehouse. The key is to use flat containers (with lids) that slide well. You want the ability to shift and access these items without using too much muscle power.
5. Put bins in kitchen cabinets. This space is an area most people struggle to keep clean and orderly. From expired foods to cookie crumbs, kitchen cabinets can be a mess. Plastic bins can be labeled and stuffed with food groups that prevent these situations. Have one for snacks, pasta and goods about to expire. Here are other idea on how to use bins via Pinterest.com.
