Are you looking for some easy ways to organize your home? You’re in luck. Below, you’ll find 9 different ways to make your life easier. From re-purposing your old drawers to getting pet hair out of the carpet, there’s a wealth of knowledge readily available.
​Give Your Old Dresser Drawers a New Purpose
When it’s time to replace your dresser, do you throw it out on the curb or donate it to charity? You should be doing neither! Take those old drawers, give them a fresh coat of paint, and hang them on the wall. Not only can you hang keys or dish towels from the knobs, but you can place flowers or other items inside the drawer for a trendy shelf.
​Need More Room in Your Pantry?
If you’re searching for a new way to maximize your pantry space, try a shoe organizer. Hanging a shoe organizer on the back of your pantry door will help you store smaller items to eliminate clutter. It can also help you keep stock of what you have because it will make your items more visible.
Want to Organize Your Bathroom?
Buy or re-purpose a CD tower and turn it on its side to make a bathroom organizer. You can hang this below your mirror or next to the shower. Whether you want to store jewelry or towels, this is an easy and affordable solution. It also adds a nice touch to your décor.
Say Goodbye to Carpet Indentations
We’ve all been there. You’re moving your furniture around, and after all that hard work, you’re still left with hideous carpet indentations. Luckily, ice cubes will help bring them out. Just lay ice cubes along the indentation, let them melt, and it’ll fluff back up when it’s dry. It’s as easy as that.
Tired of Battling Pet Hair?
Use a squeegee to get that pesky pet hair out of your carpet. No matter how short or long your pets’ hair is, a squeegee is sure to get it out. Don’t bother with the vacuum. The squeegee will get hairs that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
Stop Taping Your House
Painting isn’t an easy project. When you’re ready to paint your kitchen or living room, just stock up on plastic wrap. This will eliminate the need for expensive painter's tape, and provide you with a much easier application and removal process.
What Do You Do With Your Plastic Bags?
If you’re like the rest of the world, you have a cabinet in your kitchen that’s overflowing with plastic bags. Luckily, there’s a much more attractive way to handle this that will help you save on space. Use an old tissue box to keep your plastic bags organized. Whether you want to mount it to the inside of a cabinet door or store it on the counter, it’ll keep your bags in one small place and all you to have more room throughout your kitchen.
Make Your Closet Brighter
Is the lighting in your closet failing to do its job? Don’t worry. You can line the inside of the closet door with clear Christmas lights to make it brighter inside. Not only is this easy on your wallet, but it’ll be easier on your eyes too.
Who Needs Hangers Anyways?
You’re getting ready for work, and you grab your favourite pair of jeans only to break three hangers in the process. Eliminate this issue by hanging your jeans on shower hooks in the closet. Not only will this make them easier to access, but you’ll save money not breaking a hanger or two every morning.
Making your life easier is always appealing, no matter who you are. All it takes is a little creativity, and you can turn your home into a trendy, yet simple oasis. From finding new uses for old furniture to creative cleaning strategies, thinking outside of the box or taking a closer look at what’s in it always helps.
