Good order is the foundation of all things. – Edmund Burke
Now is the perfect time to get your home organized and ready for the upcoming Thanksgiving/holiday season especially if you are hosting out-of-town guests and relatives.
An organized space not only looks great, but it also functions a lot better and will help to lessen the stress of having guests and planning a holiday dinner.
Every room in your house should be a well-thought-out and functional space equipped with storage solutions to help declutter and beautify your abode. The kitchen, bedrooms, laundry room, and home office are the key areas that need to be well-organized as they get the most traffic. Tackle each room at a time making sure your storage supplies are on hand before you start (e.g baskets, labels, dividers).
Room Organizing Ideas
Kitchen/Pantry
For a more cohesive pantry use wicker baskets and glass bottles for storage and label everything. Use a label maker for a more professional look but you can also handwrite labels using chalk. Store baking pans and cutting boards upright for ease of use. Utensil drawers should be organized using a divider and like items grouped together for functionality and visual appeal.
Kids' Room
Kids' rooms are especially in need of organization. If you have an avid reader or Lego enthusiast, a well-organized space will come in handy. Utilize the closet by installing shelves to house books and other reading materials. You can also display toys and artwork on these shelves. To access bookshelves have a kids ladder stored beside the shelves for safety. Bins and baskets can be used for plush and stuffed toys.
Home Office
If you are using your living room or bedroom for a home office, a designated work area can be achieved if you install a space-saving folding desk. It is the perfect solution for small spaces as it has a low profile and is equipped with enough space to hold your office essentials (laptop, desk lamp, etc.).
To store office supplies such as stationery, receipts, and magazines, use acrylic boxes, storage baskets with handles, and magazine files. Create a dedicated corner in your closet for office supplies.

Laundry Room
This room might be the most overlooked room in the house, but it is so important to have an organized and efficient laundry room/space. Start with the essentials, e.g. drying racks, cabinet storage, open shelving, and rolling laundry baskets.
If you want your shelves to look more stylish, refillable dispensers are the answer. Replace the original package of laundry soap/softener/bleach with pretty refillable bottles
Next, invest in custom pull-out shelves that you can use as folding tables- this will make the task of folding a whole lot easier.
Room organization is the key to a peaceful and healthy home.
