5 QUICK + AFFORDABLE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME MORE SORTED + ORGANIZED!

I know life gets messy sometimes, it's weird if your home doesn't get messy! But, living in overwhelm and a constant scavenger hunt for your items isn't the way you need to be living. I've got 5 simple solutions for your sorting and organizing needs!

  1. 1. Use up the space under your bed – store seasonal clothing, shoes, or keepsakes in flat containers that you can roll in and out from under the bed.
Depending on the type and size of bed you have - flat bins can be purchased at Walmart, Canadian Tire, etc. If you have an IKEA bed frame, consider investing in roll out drawers. ​TIP: Don't forget to measure the height between your bed and floor to ensure the bins will fit!

2. Keep a basket or two at the foot of your bed to store throw pillows and blankets while you sleep.
This way, you won't have to toss them on the ground where they get dusty. 
Try to use what you already have, otherwise IKEA and Homesense have great functional and chic basket options!

3. Hang tension rods to create a shoe shelf.
Install two rods evenly, several inches apart, to hold your sneakers, flats, and shoes. And for your heels, install one rod a few inches higher than the other so they can sit at a slant.
4. Attach shower curtain rings to a hanger for extra scarf, belt storage, or tank tops.
This hack is way better than just flinging your ties, belts, and scarves over a hanger and watching them slip off into the abyss that is your closet floor.

5. Create a calendar out of paint chips! 
Style your calendar from an old frame and your favorite colors. 

What You'll Need for this Paint Chip Calendar Tutorial:
  • 1 large 12″ x 16″ picture frame, either one you already own. Also, I recommend thrift stores to find some fun and unique frames.
  • 35 paint swatches/paint chips (variety of colors), free at any home hardware store such as Home Depot, Home hardware, Lowes/Rona, Walmart, etc.
  • scotch tape
  • scissors
  • ruler
  • dry-erase marker, you can easily find at Dollarama. ​
If you're love the ideas, but lacking the motivation, time, or are overwhelmed... You can apply for a complimentary consultation + then we will schedule a session or two to get your living space sorted! I take care of your organizational shopping needs, sorting + organizing, install and set-up, donations delivery, more!
