How to Organize Your New Home
- 1). Evaluate all of your items that you plan to bring into your new home. Determine the use of each item and where it should be placed within the house for ease of use and access. Sort all of the items based on this criteria into organizing bins or boxes and separate them or label them by room.
- 2). Place all of the organizing bins or boxes in their respective rooms. Evaluate the space and built-in storage options such as cupboards, cabinets, shelves and stands. Move in your furniture or purchase furnishings that will help organize your home such as armoires, pantries and hutches. Place the furniture in the rooms that needs the additional storage.
- 3). Add small items into storage bins and organizers and place them inside the furnishings. Group like items together for ease of access. For example, in a kitchen, you might group all of your baking spices in one organizing container inside your cabinet.
- 4). Select shelving units that will serve multiple purposes such as containing a television, storing books and concealing small items inside of decorative storage baskets.
