There's nothing better than genuinely useful tips for organizing your space. Today, we won't just look at pretty pictures from the internet or admire perfect ideals. I'll share real photos of my clients and tell you how you can achieve the same results.

Tip #1 for the Bathroom

Bright packaging from shampoo and shower gel don't look great, agree? They come in different shapes and sizes — no matter how you arrange them, it doesn't look nice. I suggest replacing factory containers with identical dispensers. Visual clutter disappears just as quickly as your favorite hair mask runs out.

Tip #2 for the Wardrobe

Yes, on the 'before' photo we can see several reasons for clutter. But I want to highlight one specific trick used by organizers. Remember and apply this: replace all different types of hangers with identical ones. Look how the closet transformed! And, of course, one hanger = one item.

Tip #3 for the Kitchen

I know many still have that 'bag of bags.' Some even have a whole drawer dedicated to bags on the kitchen. Such luxury! Let's find a more practical use for that drawer.

Naturally, first minimize the number of bags: use them instead of trash. Also, set up a reusable cloth bag for shopping to avoid buying new bags. After freeing up the drawer, it fits perfectly with containers of grains and canned goods.

Tip #4 for the Kitchen Too

On these two photos, I want to draw your attention to the countertop. How much difference a clean surface makes. Try to keep your kitchen countertop almost empty. Leave only the most essential items: small appliances, spices, dishes, decor. Your eyes will be happy, and your desire to cook a masterpiece will increase!

Tip #5 for the Child's Corner

If you have a baby and don't know how to conveniently organize items for childcare, pay attention. When things don't have their place, they scatter in all directions like beads. Plan a 'home' for each category of items.

For example, diapers are now in a hanging organizer, open compartments for toys and care products. And on the shelf, there are fabric bins where baby clothes are stored perfectly. Easy to take out and return to place. Caring for the baby is now pure joy.

Organized space in the home isn't as hard as it seems. Once you create convenient storage for yourself and your family, you'll save valuable time. You'll spend less time cleaning and more time on your favorite activities. All the best!
