1 – Organization Tips For Small House To Declutter Your Mind

Here are my 3 favorite organization tips for small houses from this blog post. It is a preview of the full guide filled with 13 organization tips for small houses.

A) Dispose Of Unneeded Items

Before starting to store and organize your items properly, you need to declutter your house.

In a small home, being minimalist is vital. You are going to start asking yourself for each of your items: do I really need this? How frequently do I use this item? Is this item stored in the right place? Would it be more practical to keep it in another room?

We all have things that we keep just in case we would need them. But the truth is, we never end up needing them. If you have items that you use once a year or that you never use but keep just in case, it’s time to dispose of them.

You have several options. Instead of just throwing your items, you can recycle, donate or sell them.

If you recycle them, you give them a second life.
If you donate them, they will finally be used by people who need them.
If you sell them, you will be able to get a bit of money. These options are better for you and the environment. Consider them.

If you cannot let go of things, you will need to change this mindset to live in a peaceful house. Decluttering is a long and time-consuming process.

Start small. Divide your rooms in different zones. And declutter one zone at a time. When your whole house will be decluttered, your home will feel much lighter and cleaner.

B) Divide Rooms Into Zones

In a small house, the number of rooms is limited. You cannot create extra rooms. Instead, you are going to create zones in each room.

Let’s suppose that you have an open kitchen. You are going to divide this room in different zones.

You will have a cooking zone with your kitchen appliances, a dining zone with your dining table and a relaxing zone with your sofa and TV. Each zone has now a clear function.

When you divide a room into zones, it becomes easier to organize it.

C) Kitchen Corner Drawer And Corner Cabinet

People struggle to use their corner drawer and corner cabinet. But as we’ve said before, all cabinet space matters in a small house.

Use your corner drawers to store small cooking utensils like spatulas. If it’s big enough, you can use it to store pans.

Use your corner cabinet to store foods like cereals, rices, pastas, sauces or spreads. It can also be used to store pans.

2 – Small Space Organization Hacks To Make Room Where You Thought You Had None

Here are my 3 favorite small space organization hacks from this blog post. It is a preview of the full guide filled with 16 genius small space organization hacks.

A) Embrace “Space Conscious” Minimalism

Minimalism is more than just an interior design style. When you adopt a minimalist mindset, you choose to primarily own items that you need.

But reducing consumerism doesn’t equal renouncing a life of comfort. Minimalism is a tool for serenity, not deprivation.

Creating a new mindset takes time, so be patient with yourself while making this change.

Minimalism will force you to be more intentional. Ultimately, you’ll find more fulfillment in your life by reflecting on the purpose of each of your items and purchases.

Stress and visual clutter are deeply linked. Living in an organized home supports mental clarity. So if you want a peaceful mind, minimalism is the way to go.

B) Divide Each Room Into Functional Zones

If you live in a small house, you cannot create extra rooms. So instead, you’re going to create zones in each room.

Let’s suppose that you have an open-plan living room. You’re going to divide it into different zones.

You could have a cooking zone with your kitchen countertop, a dining zone with your dining table, and a rest zone with a sofa and a TV. Each zone now has a clear function.

Use rugs, lighting, and shelves to define these areas visually.

C) Place Drawer Organizers

In a bedroom, purchase a drawer organizer to properly store your clothes in a dresser or chest of drawers.

A drawer organizer is made of different-sized bins so you can store your clothes, underwear, and socks.

While bamboo or plastic drawer organizers are great for kitchen or bathroom drawers.

3 – Small House Organization Hacks To Transform Your Home

Here are my 3 favorite small house organization hacks from this blog post. It is a preview of the full guide filled with 16 clever small house organization hacks.

A) Clear Storage Bins

If you like being able to see what’s inside your containers, choose clear storage containers.

They can be used in your bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom to store beauty products, canned goods, or clothes.

Don’t use a marker pen to label your containers. It will fade over time. And if you decide to repurpose them, you will have this annoying label on it that you can’t erase.

Instead, invest in a label maker. You will be able to easily create labels to stick on your containers.

B) Solid Storage Bins

If you don’t like being able to see what’s inside your containers, select solid storage containers. Solid containers are great to store items in your garage such as shoes, seasonal clothes and decor, sport equipment, etc.

You can also use a label maker to create labels to stick on your bins.

C) Woven Baskets

Woven baskets give a classic and elegant look to your home. They can be used in your bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom to store bath towels, vegetables, or clothes.

Don’t use labels to stick on these type of containers because they will eventually fall. Instead, use basket label clips.

4 – How To Color Organize Your Closet To Optimize Your Time

Here are my 3 favorite closet color organization ideas from this blog post. It is a preview of the full guide explaining how to color organize your closet to optimize your time.

A) Rainbow Clothes

The easiest way to color organize your closet is to place your clothes in a rainbow color scheme, following ROYGBIV. From left to right: white, beige, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, brown, gray and black.

When choosing how to color organize your closet, many people choose to add their white and beige clothes before red (IR) and their brown, gray and black clothes after indigo (UV).

Inside each color section, you can go from the lightest to darkest shades for an even smoother look. For example, add your scarlet, crimson then burgundy red.

B) From Light To Dark Clothes

If you don’t like organizing your clothes according to the rainbow scheme, you can arrange them from the lightest to darkest colors.

When selecting this organization, make sure to put your favorite clothes on the left. You can easily grab the clothes you wear the most with this system.

If you love and wear your dark clothes more, go from darkest to lightest colors instead.

C) Make Your Own Rainbow

If you don’t want to follow the ROYGBIV system, you can create your own rainbow.

Don’t forget to start by the colors and clothes you are wearing the most. It helps you to easily reach them.

Many people don’t know where to place their white, black, brown and patterned clothes. Don’t overthink about it and place them where it feels best to you. If you want to place your white before yellow, your patterns before blue or your black before indigo, go for it!
