Hey Y'all! Welcome back to the blog! xo


With a new year slowly here many of us take the time we have to work on getting our home or apartment organized. While it might seem overwhelming to organize every single room there is a strategy to help you get this accomplished and look as neat and tidy as you can. The biggest struggle for many of us is time to do this. Having an organized home is a huge project so don’t put a lot of pressure on yourself to finish quickly. Instead, enjoy the time you have to put things in a spot or a ‘home’ and celebrate the small progress you make each day. 


Create A List: 

Before you even begin organizing, go through your home and create a list of what rooms need what done to them. If you’re like me, I forget a few things especially by the end of the day so having this list helps me stay on top of what I need to get, organize or purge in each room. Having it all ready to go also helps me create a plan of how I want to tackle the mess. For example, I have a large kitchen that needs several things done. I’ll write down KITCHEN and then underneath I’ll write down the areas I want to work on such as the pantry, junk drawer, and coffee station. This helps me look at things from a smaller perspective.


Every Day Drawer: 

I have a huge issue with clutter so having junk drawers makes me go crazy. Instead of calling it a junk drawer, I like to call in my necessity drawer. In it, there are many odd and end items but items that I know my kids might need or I’ll need to grab. Using it as an everyday drawer also helps my kids keep their items in their spot as well. It also helps keep the ‘junk’ out. 


Grab and Go Cleaning Station: 

I can’t be the only one that hates running up and down the stairs to clean multiple surfaces, bathrooms, and more. Having a system is key to keep it organized and I love to create a grab-and-go cleaning station so I can keep the supplies I need in one confined unit. I store it in a caddy and add the items I need such as a cleaning toilet brush, rags, disinfectant wipes, and towels. You basically can put anything you want in yours so you aren’t searching for items or running up and down flights.

Color Coding: 

It can be easy to throw our unfolded laundry in piles but one way to help your closet look and feel its best is color coding your closet. Many professionals love doing this and not only is it visually appealing but also keeps things in their place. You can also color-code your books, craft supplies or any other category of items that has multiple things. 


Add Drawer Dividers: 

One easy tip to maximize storage and organize your drawers is using drawer dividers. One drawer divider instantly creates separate categories for your space so everything has its own little home. It can make things so much easier to fit more items because the dividers make it easier to stack things vertically as well. I use them in our bathroom, my kids drawers for their clothes, and in our kitchen 


There are many other easy organization ideas to keep you and your family on top of the new yaer. Again, take your time and go through each room carefully. Pick out what you want to keep and from there figure out a way to display the item or put it away neatly. What are some projects you want to tackle to keep your apartment or home organized this year?
