One secret a lot of neat
people keep from the disorganized, messy bunch of us, is that the first rule of
organization and cleanness is order, and that in any given space there should
be a minimum of objects around to keep the job of cleaning and putting order as
simple as possible. That's nice ha? Sounds right, and feels right, but it’s not
that easy to maintain, not when just going over your clothes in the morning is
enough to ruin any closet or room organization.
The good news is that
there is an item that can help you organize every room in your home, and even
better, it helps create the appearance that you're a tidy housekeeper (even if
you're not), this item comes in many different shapes, sizes, colors and
materials and can be found in many local retail stores, including craft stores
and discount retailers, and at flea markets and craft shows, and well,
basically it's a universal item found all over the world. This item is a
basket, an item like a basket will give you the space you need to keep the mess
from spreading to the outside.
Almost every organizing
expert I talk with tells me that the very first place to start organizing a
house from is the kitchen, a great idea for better organization in the kitchen
is to use hanging wall pocket baskets, which have flat backs, to store dry
sponges, cleaning materials and scrubbers, as well as pot holders, old towels,
oven mitts, dry dish rags and spare kitchen hand towels.
Many people like to use
a wicker basket in the salon or television room, a wicker basket adds some
warmth to the space and is great if you have kids running around, it’s cheap
and it’s durable, almost perfect for a young family. You can use a round or
cylindrical shaped wicker basket on the coffee table to hold television or
other electronic remotes.
One place that almost
always need more room to keep things is the bedroom, you can find great wicker
products to place in your bedroom, they come in many different colors so you
can almost always connect them to your bedroom furniture. A wicker hamper with
a lid in the closet can store extra pillows and keep them dust-free. If you see
openings in the wicker slats or don't like your linens snagging on the inside
of the basket, line the hamper with a sheet or large gallon trash bag.
Baskets are just great
for saving space and storing stuff, probably no product is so practical and
useful as well as beautiful. Sometimes baskets are even handmade works of
art that are functional. Using baskets you can literally put your most unique artwork
into daily usage and daily view, and you can even consider taking a course or
two and trying to make them yourself!
If you don't like the
basket you got, or would like to change it a little to be just perfect for the
task you have for it, you can dress up any of your baskets by gluing on your
own garnishments. Be creative. You can personalize baskets with buttons or even
plastic candy canes to miniature toy figures or mini cloth stockings.
Baskets are a great way
of saving space, and helping you get organized, I hope you will try using
baskets and that they will help you get your house organized.
