Happy New Year!!! What's your resolution? One of mine is to keep the house neat and tidy! After all, "cleanliness is next to godliness". Here's a few tips of mine on keeping your spaces neat and organized in the coming year!
Creative Storage:
Keeping things neat and tidy is always a good thing, but why not do it in a decorative way? Finding and creating multi-functional furniture is a great way to accomplish just that! I LOVE old trunks and they are a perfect example of multi-functional "furniture".
I stack mine up and store movies, CD's (yes I still listen to CD's), and craft supplies in them. The bottom one we found at a thrift store, the middle came from an auction, and the top from, guess where, Michael's! They add character and interest while giving me the much needed storage.
Another idea is using decorative baskets to store and display some of your items like books, blankets, pillows. Whether having large ones in the floor or smaller ones on shelves, they're a great storage solution.
Also, consider functional furniture pieces. This piece is a large decorative wood box that I use for storing my wrapping paper, gift bags, ribbon, etc., but it could easily be turned in to a side table or even extra seating by closing the lid.
These simple solutions can help any cluttered area become a clean, beautified space.
Here's to 2016 and a home that's clean!
