6 Organizational Hacks For Your Home

By in Pro Tips with 0 Comments

If you are a homeowner, you know that your home can require a lot of maintenance and upkeep. This is especially true if you have children or pets, live in a larger home, or lack spare time. 
Below are 6 standout organizational hacks for your home that will help keep your home more organized and efficient. These are simple tips that you can implement today to remove some of the frustrations of being a homeowner, no matter how small!

Tag Your Cords

Cable management is usually an afterthought when setting up our offices and entertainment spaces. We typically just plug things into a power strip, tuck the unsightly cables off to the side, and go about our day. The issue is when you need to unplug something, or need to swap around your cables which can be tricky. 

Labeling cords with whatever device the cord belongs to with tags can be extremely helpful for making this process a bit easier. Labeled bread tags specifically can go a long way, but don’t be afraid to use any other tagging method that will easily stand out.

Make Your Fridge More Accessible

Having a stacked fridge may sound good in theory, but in reality, it can be quite a nuisance to reach things that you have stashed away at the back. Removing all the items in front, or weaving your hand through the valleys and troughs of pickle and mayonnaise jars is tedious, but it doesn’t have to be that way. A lazy susan, although it may take up some real estate in your fridge, will allow you to spin a wheel on which your fridge items lie on, helping you access those pesky jars in the back with a simple rotation.

Never Lift A Plate to Get Another Again

We’ve all done it. Stacked the smaller plates on top of the larger ones to save room in our cabinets. But when we want a large plate, we usually have to lift up all the smaller plates to get to them. Small angular drying racks are the perfect solution to this dilemma. Simply find one that fits within your space and nest each plate in its plastic or metal grooves so that they sit vertically. This makes your plates much more easily accessible to everyone in your family as well.

Pegboards

DIYers love pegboards because it means they can keep all their tools, devices, and products hanging off of them. Pegboards allow you to do this without putting holes in your walls, and can even add an aesthetically pleasing touch to your spaces.

A pegboard is commonly seen in garages holding tools like hammers and wrenches, but you can keep it in your office and kitchen for things like rulers, scissors, or pots and pans. Pegboards are extremely versatile and can help you keep track of items you may lose or forget about when storing away out of sight.

Save Money & The Environment With Beeswax

If you are environmentally conscious, you probably know how devastating plastic is to our oceans, parks, and environments. In cutting down on plastic, why not opt to give up on products like stretch and seal? 

Beeswax food wrap is an amazing alternative to plastic wrap and can even make your leftovers look more enticing with its diverse designs. These wraps can be washed and reused again and again for a wide variety of plates and bowls, helping your food stay fresher without the environmental impact of throwing away plastic in the process.  

This can also save you money in the long run, and the hassle of having to pull out those large spools of plastic wrap, to measure the ideal amount before cutting.

Ikea Cabinet Shelves

If space is a premium in your home, Ikea cabinet shelves can help you utilize more of your space through the magic of stacking. Simply stack glassware on top of each other using shelves to help use more space in your lower cabinets versus those that are unreachable and require a stool to get to. 

Mugs, plates, bowls, and glasses can all be used on cabinet shelves, helping keep your kitchen more organized.
