We’ve all had those days: You can’t find a matching pair of socks, the kitchen is a mess, and you maybe would’ve been on time if your car keys weren’t hiding beneath a heap of mail. When your house is cluttered, it’s tough to feel calm, collected, and organized.
When you think of home improvement projects, you might envision boosting the safety of your staircase by replacing your stair treads or reinforcing your banister. While these structural renovations are important, DIY projects that declutter your house can reduce stress, keep your household running smoothly, and even keep you safe. Here’s how to declutter three key areas of your home with easy DIY projects.
Keep Your Cool with an Organized Kitchen
Cooking can be a relaxing, enjoyable part of your day—or, at the very least, not stressful! When your kitchen is well organized, you know where everything is, and the location of your dishes, utensils, and gadgets makes sense with your kitchen layout.
Keeping pots and pans easily accessible can prevent your cabinets from accumulating clutter, while storing cutlery near dishes can help your kitchen function like a well-oiled machine.
DIY It: Installing a hanging pot rack is an easy, practical, and visually pleasing way to keep your kitchen supplies easily accessible and your cabinets clutter-free.
Save Time with Spotless Closets
From your linen closet to your bedroom closet, built-in storage areas tend to become a catch-all for miscellaneous items. While storing seasonal items, board games, or other infrequently used items in the back of your closet is just a part of life, if your closets are beginning to resemble the island of misfit toys, it may be time to intervene.
A cluttered closet can make it more difficult to start your day and can slow down ordinary tasks, such as laundry and vacuuming. To make getting dressed or tidying up a breeze, go through your closet and weed out unnecessary items.
DIY It: Once you’ve decluttered your closet, make the most of your refreshed space by installing a closet organizer that makes life easier. Additional shelving, storage cubes, or a wire closet system will make keeping your closet clutter-free a breeze.
Stay Safe with Organized Tools
With an organized tool shed or garage, you can find the tools you need when you need them. After all, if you have to seal a leaky windowsill in a pinch, you’ll want to know where your Flex Paste is. Keeping your tools and supplies organized can make your life easier and prevent small household repairs from becoming big ones.
Knowing where important tools are and storing them in a safe place is important. Whether you have small children or need to repair something quickly, you’ll thank yourself for keeping your tools and potentially toxic materials out of reach—yet easily accessible.
DIY It: Choose a designated area to store tools, such as in your garage, toolshed, or laundry room, and install child-safe shelving or cabinetry for them.
To keep your home calm, functional, and safe, declutter these three spaces.
