Organize the 5 Most Messy Spaces in Your Home

A messy home can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Clutter can quickly build up in various areas of your house, leaving you feeling stressed and frustrated. Fortunately, organizing your space doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. With a few simple steps and a little effort, you can bring order to the messiest areas of your home.

In this post, we will walk you through practical solutions to organize five of the most commonly cluttered spaces:

• The living room,
  

• Closet,
  

• Kitchen,
  

• Bathroom, and
  

• Garage.

With easy-to-follow tips, you’ll be able to keep your home neat and tidy, making it a more enjoyable and functional place to live.

1. The Living Room
   

   The living room is where everyone gathers, so it can quickly become messy. Things like remote controls, books, toys, and magazines tend to pile up on the coffee table or couches. Solution: Start by clearing off surfaces and putting things away. Use storage bins or baskets for small items like remotes and magazines. Keep only the essentials on display. You can also get furniture with hidden storage, like ottomans, to hide things out of sight.
   

2. The Closet

   Closets can easily become a dumping ground for clothes, shoes, and accessories, making it hard to find what you need. Solution: Empty your closet and go through everything. Donate clothes you haven’t worn in a year. Use shelves, shoe racks, or hanging organizers to create more space. Keep similar items together, like shoes or jackets, so they are easier to find.
   

3. The Kitchen

   The kitchen is often busy, and it’s easy for things to get messy. Piles of dishes, appliances on the counters, and cluttered drawers can make it feel crowded and disorganized. Solution: Clear off the countertops by putting away appliances you don’t use every day. Organize your kitchen drawers with dividers for utensils and tools. Store pantry items in clear containers and label them. Regularly check for expired food and toss it.
   

4. The Bathroom

   Bathrooms can get cluttered quickly with toiletries, cleaning products, and towels piling up. A messy bathroom can make the whole space feel smaller and less relaxing. Solution: Use baskets or trays to organize toiletries and keep them off counters. Store less-used items in drawers or cabinets. Use hooks or towel racks to keep towels from piling up.
   

5. The Garage:

   Garages are usually full of tools, sports equipment, seasonal decorations, and other items. Over time, it can become a space filled with clutter. Solution: Sort through everything and categorize items into groups like tools, sports gear, or holiday decorations. Use shelves, bins, or wall-mounted racks to store things off the floor. Keep items you use often close at hand, and store less-used items higher or in the back.
