Getting into the habit of organizing and properly storing your belongings makes all the difference between a neat and cluttered home, but it’s often more complicated than it initially seems. Here are three common storage mistakes many people are making that will prevent you from having a perfectly organized, stress-free home.
Too Many Stuff on Shelves
If you keep everything out in the open, your shelves will become cluttered in no time. The open-shelf concept was popular a few years ago and if you’re now stuck with many open shelves and not enough cabinets and drawers, consider investing in pretty boxes and containers to make up for it.
Wrong Containers
There are so many different boxes and baskets to choose from, but perhaps you’re not using them in the best way. Picking the right container for certain things will make your place look more beautiful and you’ll be less anxious when you need to find something.
Not Using Narrow Spaces
It’s incredible how much stuff you can store in narrow places if you just find the right storage solution. Just one narrow shelf can help you with a particular corner in your living room that always seems cluttered, no matter how hard you try to keep everything tidy.
