10 Home Organization Hacks: Get Your Home in Order!

by Jean Santiago


Is your home a cluttered mess? Do you have trouble finding things because they are buried under piles of stuff? It's time to get your house in order! A clean, organized home can reduce stress, improve productivity, and create a more peaceful environment. Plus, it's just more pleasant to look at! With these 10 home organization hacks, you'll be able to tackle any mess and get your home looking its best. 


1. Label Everything

This might seem obvious, but labeling everything is one of the best organization hacks out there. Not only will it help you find things quickly, but it will also encourage you to put things back where they belong. Be sure to use a clear, legible font and include as much information as possible (date, contents, etc.).

2. Create a Command Center

Whether it's in your kitchen or by your front door, a command center can help you keep your life in order. Hang a calendar, to-do list, and important documents in a central location for easy access. 

3. Use Vertical Space

Walls are prime real estate when it comes to organization. Hang shelves, pegboards, and hooks to maximize storage space and keep things off the floor. 

4. Sort Things by Frequency of Use

Keep things you use often in easy-to-reach places and store things you use less frequently in harder-to-reach spots. This will save you time and frustration in the long run.

5. Repurpose Items

Don't throw away items that can be used in a different way. Old mason jars can become storage containers and shoe organizers can hold cleaning products. Be creative!

6. Purge Regularly

Getting rid of things you no longer need or use will create more space for the things that matter. Set aside time every few months to go through your belongings and donate or sell what you don't need.

7. Invest in Storage Containers

Clear bins, baskets, and drawer dividers can do wonders for organization. Be sure to measure your space before buying and opt for stackable containers when possible.

8. Create Designated Spaces for Everything

Assign a specific spot for each item in your home and make sure it stays there. This will prevent things from getting lost and keep your home looking neat and tidy.

9. File Everything

Papers, bills, and important documents should be kept in a filing system. This can be done digitally or with physical files in a cabinet. Be sure to shred anything you no longer need to prevent clutter.

10. Use the 90/90 rule

If you haven't used something in 90 days and don't plan to use it in the next 90, it's time to get rid of it. By following this rule, you'll prevent clutter from building up and create more space in your home.


These 10 home organization hacks are just the beginning! With a little effort and creativity, you can turn your home into a clutter-free oasis. So, put on your favorite cleaning playlist, grab some storage containers, and get to work! Your home (and your peace of mind) will thank you for it.
