Sometimes, even with all the beautiful furniture and decor, you may feel that something is off in your home. Thinking about adding or removing items does not help, and you end up feeling frustrated. This can happen without you even realizing it. Often, the solution is simple: getting organized. Not only does organizing help tidy up the space, but it can also add a sense of style. As a designer, I believe functional decor should not only look great but also keep things organized, creating a calm and welcoming environment without sacrificing aesthetics. Decluttering is not just about organizing—it is about creating a space where you can truly relax and feel at home. When you use decor that helps you stay organized, you’re not just clearing physical clutter, but also mental clutter. A tidy, well-organized space can instantly make you feel calmer and more focused, and when your storage solutions are stylish, they enhance the overall design instead of detracting from it.
There are various ways, suitable for different budgets, to help organize a space. Here are some simple tips and products to get you started:
Wall-Mounted shelves and racks
Make use of the vertical elements in your space as much as possible while enhancing its beauty. Choose storage pieces that complement your existing design—whether it is minimalist, rustic, or modern—and blend them seamlessly into your decor. The key is to integrate them as part of the overall aesthetic, not just as a functional storage solution. Incorporate storage shelves and racks on walls, desks or in the corner of the room (like this). These options can help elevate your space without sacrificing style.
Multifunctional decor for easy organization
Sometimes, it is the small items like keys, remotes, or random knick-knacks that make a room feel cluttered. Use trays or storage boxes to keep these little things organized (like this). For cables—whether for your phone, TV, or computer—cable boxes are a great solution to conceal them neatly. Choose objects that match your personal style, such as metallic finishes for a modern look or natural wood for an organic feel. This is an easy way to stay organized while enhancing your decor. It could be a uniquely designed tray for your jewellery that doubles as a decorative focal point in your bedroom, or something as simple as a stylish pen holder on your desk, helping your workspace look tidy.
Declutter storage spaces by hangers, racks and dividers
Maximize your storage spaces by incorporating hangers, racks, and dividers for a neat and organized setup. Use hangers specifically designed for belts, scarves, and bags to keep them easily accessible and untangled, while freeing up valuable drawer or shelf space. Adding storage boxes or bins in your wardrobe for shoes, seasonal items, or accessories ensures every inch of space is utilized effectively. Dividers in drawers or shelves can separate items, making it easier to locate things at a glance. These simple additions help you stay organized, reduce clutter, and make finding what you need effortless.
