Best Tips for Organizing Your Home
Getting organized can feel overwhelming at first—but once you begin, you’ll find yourself wanting to tidy and simplify every corner of your home! As a mom of three, a professional organizer, and the founder of PÜR Evergreen®, I know how quickly a home can fall into chaos. But I also know how empowering it feels to reclaim your space and restore a sense of calm.
Whether you're dealing with a busy household or just looking for a fresh start, these tips will help you organize with confidence, creativity, and ease.
💡 My Favorite Home Organization Tips:
1. Clear Your Kitchen Counters
The kitchen is the heart of the home—and it’s also the most-used space. When the counters and kitchen table are cluttered, it affects your mindset and can cause added stress. Start by removing unnecessary items and only keeping out what you use daily.
2. Keep a Donation Bin Handy
Set up a simple donation bin and place a picture or label above it so kids know exactly where to put things they no longer use. When it’s full, bag it up and drop it off at your local donation center. Less clutter, more peace!
3. Set a Laundry Day Routine
Designate a weekly laundry day and get the whole family involved. Even toddlers can help by putting dirty clothes in the hamper or folding socks. This builds responsibility and keeps laundry from piling up.
4. Buy Less, Love More
Avoid buying duplicates. Ask yourself: Do I really need this? For every new pair of gloves or scarf you bring home, donate one or two. A “one in, one out” rule helps prevent accumulation.
5. Organize with What You Have
You don’t need fancy containers to get started. Shoe boxes, mason jars, and chalkboard labels can work wonders! Over-the-door organizers are great for everything from hair supplies to art materials and small toys.
6. Do a 5-Minute Tidy Before Bed
Make it a nightly family habit: everyone spends five minutes picking up before bed. You’ll wake up to a clean space, feel more relaxed, and start your day on the right foot. Have school bags and clothes ready to go the night before for an easier morning.
✅ Bonus Organizer's Tip:
For hard-to-organize cabinets (like my infamous “black hole” kitchen corner), try a non-skid cabinet turntable to make items easier to reach. Chalkboard labels are also a fun, stylish way to keep everything categorized.
