Are you overwhelmed by all the clutter around your
home? Here are some tips for getting organized:
Coat
Closets
Most hall closets are a disaster area with hats,
scarves, and gloves tossed helter-skelter on the top shelf and book bags, shoes,
and boots piled on the floor. Purchase wooden shoe organizers for the top shelf
to store small items and another on the floor for shoes and boots. Attach sturdy
hooks to the inside of the door for hanging book bags.
Kitchen
Cabinets
Most older homes have small kitchens with limited
storage space. Make the most of your kitchen cabinets by installing wire organizers
on the inside of cabinet doors. Use these for storing sponges and cleaning
products under the sink. In other cabinets, store rolls of plastic wrap, foil,
and boxes of plastic bags; spices; boxes of tea; and any other small items.
Books and
Magazines
Do you have books and magazines, piled all over your
home? Keep them organized in baskets alongside your nightstand, under your
coffee table, and in a corner of the bathroom (for those infrequent times when
you get to soak in a bubble bath.)
Piles of
Dirty Laundry Everywhere You Look
Instead of one laundry basket for the entire family
(which most members of your family will ignore,) supply a laundry basket for
each bedroom and one in the bathroom for towels. Hopefully, your family members
will get the hint and stop tossing dirty laundry on the floor. (Emphasis on
“hopefully”!)

I sort out winter articles and put them in our spare guest room closet so then move summer articles to the main closet. Works for us..
Thanks for your suggestions..:)
