If you live in your home and have virtually any amount of stuff, chances are clutter can become an issue in the blink of an eye. Here are five suggestions to help you control the clutter and keep it from taking over.
1. Maximize Your Cabinets. By installing lazy Susans, pullout drawers, wire shelves, and other cabinet organization tools, you will maximize the space, creating more room for your stuff.
2. Utilize Open Shelving. Open shelves are difficult to keep neat. Purchasing baskets, metal bins, or other organizational containers for the shelves you can keep your clutter controlled and out of sight.
3. Control Your Closets. There are many ready-made storage solutions for closets. Find the type of shelving unit that best fits your needs and install it.
4. Build Beautiful Built-Ins. Surround a wall of windows, a set of doors, or other architectural feature of your home with simple built-in shelving to add an enormous amount of storage and structural interest to your home.
5. Choose Double-Duty Pieces. Utilize pieces of furniture that double as storage. For example a coffee table chest, storage bench, or storage ottoman.
