How to keep your home tidy / istockphoto.com

Rule one - deal with decluttering

Throw away everything unnecessary, even what is pitiful and "what if it comes in handy." Take each thing in hand and think how necessary and important it is right now or in the future. Then wash and clean everything, and then it's up to the organization of order itself.

Rule two - strive for minimalism

Do not stack everything in boxes, containers, and boxes. Because it's easy to forget about a hidden thing. And since they have forgotten about it, it means that it is not so necessary.

Rule three - categorize things

For example: home clothes, going out and special occasions. Or books-documents-magazines. For each category, allocate a place based on frequency and usability.

Rule three - vertical storage

If possible, store items upright and not in piles or on hangers. So everything will be in plain sight, you can quickly find what you need without having to search through the entire wardrobe.

Rule Five - Divide and Conquer

It is better to divide a large space into compartments. This is where the boxes and containers come in handy. So small things will be in order, small equipment such as a hair dryer, curling iron, ironing, cosmetics, dishes, etc., in general, everything that could get lost, store it simply in a large box or on a shelf.

And one more - the most important rule: remember that order is for a person, not a person for order!

Use your imagination and adjust any rules for yourself. And if you like to keep everything on schedule, make cleaning schedule.
