Keep your home minimalist and feel the joy of decorating your favorite space!

The house arrangement for storage & organization helps the living space look cleaner, more tidy for you to find new things and inspiration every day.

3 following tips of "house cleaning queen" Marie Kondo will help you change the room, simpler but still full of utilities and suitable for all family members.

  1. Plan before you arrange

Marie Kondo's house arrangement principle starts from the point of view that "cleaning is a joy" and must be planned before starting to work.

Planning will help you organize your home in the most systematic and cost-effective way as possible. Marie Kondo recommends focusing on cleaning in one day rather than doing a little bit each day, which will make a difference.

You also need to reduce the storage of things in many places that make the house look disorganized and can cause you to have to organize many times.

  1. Sort items to be stored

Marie Kondo's house is not organized into rooms but is divided into categories of items to be stored. You not only need to keep things organized, but also have to arrange the space to use them most effectively. The trick is to sort first, then choose the right cabinets.

Clothes

Clothes are one of the biggest problems, the house will still look messy and unchanged if you don't solve it thoroughly. Marie Kondo advises people to pile their clothes together. Then categorize them by asking yourself, "Does this suit make me happy?" If not, choose to give or throw them away.

With clothes that make us feel really happy to wear, fold them into a drawer or simply hang them up if you like.

 

Books and Materials

Organizing books and documents is a simpler process than dealing with clothes, it is advisable to choose only the books that we really want to read. Ask yourself again, will anyone read that book? If no one reads it, it's better to pass it on to those who want to use it. You should put books in cabinets, wall shelves or small visible bookshelves.

In addition to books, documentation is also a problem to be solved. Marie Kondo recommends throwing away all those documents that are not necessary. Because if you keep too many things, you will waste both space in your home to store them and time to find them. To save time and space, get rid of them!

Sundry homeware

For redundant sundries like cartons or bathroom and kitchen appliances, etc. you need to put them together to see which items are useful. Which item makes you satisfied? And what pieces of the puzzle make you feel unsatisfied?

Once you've made your selections, in the future, if you don't want to fill your house with junk anymore, try not to become a victim of discount purchases. Only shop for the things you “use” and “need” so you don't waste storage space and burden your organization with unused items.

Souvenir items

Finally, it's time to organize sentimental items like letters, photos, cards, and all sorts of keepsakes. Choose items that best reflect your memories, reminding stories when you look at them.

You can keep them in a box, or display them if anyone can see them as home decor. Marie Kondo's advice is to live more in the present and choose to keep only things of real emotional value.

  1. Choose the right organizer & storage items

You need to find a suitable storage space and should pay attention to arrange the furniture vertically. Wardrobe should be the type with relatively wide shelves, or with extra drawers that will make it easier to store.

Sundries, documents or items of sentimental value should be kept in sturdy, covered boxes. Or you can choose a beautifully designed box as an additional decoration for the room. Then, label it to identify what's inside quickly and easily find it.

In addition to choosing from different types of storage bins, you can use multi-purpose wall shelves to increase space in your home.

Hopefully the above tips will help everyone organize their home in a reasonable way, minimizing unnecessary items so that your home looks clean, simple and really functional. Do not forget to invite family members to clean and redecorate the house to enjoy a happier life!
