1. INVEST IN NICE STORAGE BOXES & BASKETS

Practical storage solutions such as baskets or storage boxes can keep small items such as keys, blankets or toys organised. A blanket in a basket by the sofa or a stylish key holder in the hallway ensures that everything is within easy reach and the chaos disappears.

2. UTILISE THE WALLS IN SMALL SPACES

In small rooms, it is important to make optimum use of the available space. Wall shelves, hooks or modular systems such as the Pythagoras from Maze create storage space without taking up valuable floor space. At the same time, an aesthetic and practical solution for organisation is created.

3. GROUP YOUR ITEMS

For the appearance of an organised home try grouping your things together. Group all the books in one corner, group the plants in the window and the candlesticks on the coffee table - it will immediately feel a little more ordered.

4. BRING OUT WHAT YOU USE MOST

One simple tip to organise your home is to display those items that you use the most. For example, rearrange the kitchen cabinets so that you can easily access your most used frying pan, your lunch boxes or the most used spices - it will save you a lot of searching in the drawers every day.

A home always feels more welcoming after a good declutter and that makes organisation a little easier.

5. DECLUTTER

Clean house, clear mind as the saying goes. Clearing your home of clutter and the things that no longer give us any joy can really give your home and your mind a boost. Clean your cabinets and closets and donate anything you no longer want to a new home and a new life.

ORGANISE YOUR HOME - TIPS FOR STYLISH STORAGE FOR ALL ROOMS

Each room has its own organisational needs, so here are some storage tips that can make everyday life a little easier:

FOR THE HALL

  • A side table for your mail, keys and bag, when you get inside the door.
  • A hat shelf with hooks for your coats & jackets.
  • A shoe shelf – tip: sort your shoes according to the season so there will be less to store at one time.
  • An umbrella-stand so you can easily and conveniently find your umbrella when you need it.

FOR THE BEDROOM

  • Smaller boxes or jars to put your jewellery and other small items in.
  • A basket to put decorative pillows and bedspreads in when you go to sleep.
  • A clothes rack that you can hang tomorrow's clothes on, so you avoid stress in the morning when you leave.
  • A bedside table with storage space.<br>

FOR THE CHILDREN'S ROOM

  • Simple hooks for children's bags, clothes or toys.
  • Cute storage baskets for all their little toys and crafts.
  • For larger toys, a storage bench can be a smart way to decorate the children's room, it also doubles as a practical seating area.
  • A smaller bookcase is perfect for storing favourite books and also makes a lovely place to display the best toys and decorations.<br>

FOR THE BATHROOM

  • A stylish laundry basket like the Herman wash basket from Ferm Living
  • A stylish toothbrush holder.
  • Smaller storage baskets so you can organise everything from make-up to hygiene products.
  • A soap dish or stylish tray to store hand soap and hand cream - it will also give your bathroom a more luxurious feeling. <br>

A stylish laundry basket makes it somewhat easier to organise the dirty laundry - here the Herman basket from Ferm Living.

FOR THE KITCHEN

  • Practical glass jars that you can store dry food in for a more organised and stylish appearance in the kitchen cabinets.
  • A dish brush organiser so you have the dish brush and detergent collected.
  • A tray to group spices and oil and vinegar bottles on. <br>

FOR THE LIVING ROOM

  • A newspaper-stand to stop your newspaper ending up all over the living room before you are finished reading.
  • A storage basket for blankets and throws that you do not want on the sofa.
  • A tray to store all remote controls on so you do not have them scattered in the living room. <br>
