Living rooms are the perfect space in the home to relax and socialize with the whole family or with guests.
As such, it’s typically the central room of the home. However, sometimes it often ends up that the living room can get pretty cluttered and be a dumping ground for a lot of random stuff that has no place there.
We all know the common saying, “A place for everything and everything in its place.”
If you can’t find a place for an item within the living room, it either doesn’t belong there, or there is too much stuff and not enough space.
Here are a couple of tips and tricks to keep the living room organized and not filled with random things.
1. No Clothing Allowed
Don’t get the wrong idea with this tip. The idea is not to take off your jackets, socks, hats, etc., after a day at work in the living room and leave them there.
These items do not have a purpose here, so make sure to put things away as soon as possible.
If you like folding laundry while watching a T.V. show, don’t worry, you can still do this – just make sure to put it away afterward.
2. Read and Then Recycle
Magazines can quickly pile up, so as soon as you finish reading them, make sure to put them in the recycling bin.
By taking this step, you help reduce the clutter in your living room and prevent unnecessary things lying around.
3. Invest in Baskets
Baskets can be a lifesaver in keeping your space clean and de-cluttered, especially in living rooms.
You can place remote controls, blankets, DVDs, or anything else in an individual basket, and before you know it, everything has a place.
4. Stay on Top of Your Daily Routine
Having a daily routine helps you readily know what needs to be done that day.
Maybe one day you dust, the next day you sweep or vacuum, and so on until each day has a specific task to keep everything spotless.
By having a daily routine, you can reduce your stress while reducing the mess.
