Check out 10 Budget-Friendly Home Organization Hacks To Better Your Home.
I am a very confused person and if things in my home doesn’t have its own place I don’t know where anything is. It’s absolutely impossible for me to remember where I put something if it’s a mess. I actually think most of the people are that way just that we might not want to admit it to ourselves.
But let us now explore how much of an impact an organized home really has on you – the power of organization.
Let’s start off with how all of the clutter actually affects your mood. Clutter isn’t just something you see with your eyes – it’s also a mental drain. Actually, studies have shown that a physical clutter can lead to increased levels of cortisol. This is the stress hormone, something we definitely don’t want more of.
When I lived at my parents house I was constantly frustrated because I always lost my keys. It was all because my keys didn’t have its own place. It could be in a bag, in the hallway, in my room – somewhere. Now when I live in my own apartment and my keys has its on place – I always know where to find them.
The point is that the daily annoyance added unnecessary stress to my mornings, that’s actually pretty easy to avoid. Just choose one spot where your keys (in this case) should be and you will always know where to find them. It’s pretty amazing how small changes can have such a big impact.
But why does an organized space feel so empowering? It’s because when your home is organized, you’re in control of your environment. That sense of control reflects in other areas of life. For instance, an organized home gives you clarity, productivity and even confidence.
Every room in your home serves a purpose and by organizing it into zones it will be easier for you to maximize its functionality. Here’s how:
When you hear functional – you might think it’s boring design but functional doesn’t mean boring. It’s actually pretty easy finding storage solutions that matches your home’s style. For instance, you can use woven baskets to hide clutter – such as toys in the living room – while still adding texture and warmth to a room. There are lots of options to make it look aeshetic as well.
The market is full of clever storage options designed to make your life easier so let’s look into some of them:
In order to achieve an organized home you need to also declutter your home and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s my go-to three-step process:

It’s always important to start small – don’t do your entire home in one weekend. Pick one drawer, one shelf or one room to start with. This will definitely help you in the long run.
When I started organizing my home, I focused on the kitchen. Seeing the transformation in one space motivated me to tackle the rest.
Okay so, we talk about consistency in everything in life, but it is sooo important. I mean, maintenance is half the battle. I have a routine every night to just tidy up. It takes about 10 minutes and is so worth it. It’s amazing how much you can accomplish in such a short amount of time.
If you have kids or if it’s just you and your partner – involve them all. Organization doesn’t have to be a solo effort. Teach your kids simple habits, like putting toys back in bins or hanging up their coats. Make it fun by turning it into a game or offering small rewards.
I helped a close friend to reorganize her living room and the change was breathtaking – literally! Before, it felt so cramped and totally cluttered with piles of magazines and clothes everywhere.
We used the Kon-Mari decluttering stratergy and then we started organizing. We added a few stylish storage baskets and rearranged the furnitures. Those small changes made the room feel welcoming and functional. She told me she hadn’t realized how much the mess had been affecting her until it was gone. Isn’t pretty amazing?
So the power of organization isn’t just about creating a clutter-free and clean home – it’s also about taking back your time, your energy and peace of mind. In order to make it long lasting you should always start small, stay consistent and remember that every little change adds up. It could be installing a key hook, decluttering your pantry or finally tackling that overflowing closet. The benefits are totally worth it.
Soooo, are you ready to begin this life-changing journey?
Reminder: Every step you take towards organization is a step towards a calmer and more beautiful home. Even small victories, like clearing out one drawer deserves to be celebrated. So grab a cup of coffee, put on your favorite playlist and get started. You’ll be amazed at how the power of organization can transform not just your space, but your entire outlook on life.
