How to organize to keep your home organized?

Storage is a huge and trivial topic. I have always wanted to write about it, but I don’t know how to start it. ?

I took advantage of the recent change of seasons to tidy up the wardrobe, and then adjusted some of the furnishings in the kitchen, bathroom, and balcony. This is why we use "Home Progress" as the title of our daily vlog series. Although the hard decoration is over, the soft decoration has been adjusted in a comfortable direction. It is always fresh and always worth looking forward to. ?

I am not a storage expert. I just summarized some ideas based on my own situation, including storage steps and some practical storage products. ?

Storage steps?

1. Streamline?

Regularly sort out expired medicines, rotten ingredients, and packaging boxes that look beautiful but are actually useless. Throw it all away. Clothes that don't fit, duplicate books, and other items that are functional but no longer needed or liked can be resold or given to someone who wants them. Don’t over-hoard or make impulse purchases. If you still can’t find a reason to buy something that has been in your shopping cart for half a month, just delete it. ?

2. Classification?

Plan storage space and store items nearby according to their usage scenarios. ?

Take the category of paper as an example. Put handkerchief paper in the drawer at the entrance and remember to take it with you when you go out. Kitchen paper is stored in the kitchen wall cabinet and can be replaced at any time after use. The toilet paper is used the fastest and is stocked the most. It is stored in two places in the restaurant and the bathroom. The rolling paper is placed directly in the cabinet next to the toilet. Even if you find out that you are out of paper during convenience, don't panic, you can reach it with your hand. . ?

3. Display and concealment?

I think a good storage system is not to put things into cabinets blindly, but to distinguish between display and hiding according to family usage habits and aesthetics. Hidden area. For example, our family is accustomed to reading and also likes to collect cups. Books and cups are relatively neat and beautiful, so we use a set of open bookcases that stand tall and a sideboard with a glass door for display storage.

The items stored in cabinets, refrigerators, wardrobes... not only have different shapes, but also have different temperature requirements and frequency priorities. Some tools are needed to assist storage. Here are some storage items I have purchased. product. ?

Storing good things?

1. No-hole telescopic pole

Storage space in small apartments is limited, so all corners must be used. ?

In addition to the water purifier and garbage disposal, the bottom of the kitchen sink is also used to store commonly used cleaning supplies that are not afraid of moisture. Because there are many and complicated pipelines, there are no brackets and only a few transparent storage boxes are placed. ?

Use a telescopic pole, twist it to the appropriate length, and hang housework gloves, rags, and cleaning spray that you use every day. ?

Although the telescopic rod is so slender, once the rubber at both ends is clamped, the load-bearing performance is very good. Many people also use them to hang curtains, door curtains, and shower curtains, or use several of them to make brackets for partitioning or storage. ?

2. Drawer storage box

There are three wardrobes in our house. The master bedroom has the largest wardrobe and is connected to the tatami for storing out-of-season clothes; the second bedroom has the largest wardrobe. The wardrobe on the balcony of the master bedroom is used to store extra quilts, blankets, pillows, etc.; the wardrobe on the balcony of the master bedroom (pictured above) is used to store clothes that are often worn in the season.

Teacher Da’s summer clothes are very simple, basically white, gray, black, and navy blue T-shirts. Just enough space for 3 drawer storage boxes underneath. Containing his underwear, socks, shorts and trousers respectively. By stacking different sizes and models, space can be fully utilized. When the season changes, it can also be reorganized according to needs, which is very flexible. ?

Among the storage box brands I have used, I prefer Alice and Tianma. It can basically be smooth and burr-free, the track is smooth, and the cabinet is stable. It is worth investing in a good quality product that you use every day. Remember to plan your storage goals, measure the dimensions, and optimize the combination before purchasing. ?

3. Seam storage cabinet

The other end of the balcony is the laundry area. After stacking the washing machine and dryer, there is a 30cm gap on the right side. At first, I used IKEA trolleys for storage, but later changed to 5-layer sealed storage cabinets.

Not only is the classification clear, the storage capacity is strong, and the dust is also easier to clean. It has rollers on the bottom, making it easy to move. The lower level is the most spacious, and can be used to store large and heavy items such as laundry detergent and softener. The upper level can be used to store laundry bags, anti-stain towels, drying scented tablets, lint-adhesive rollers, etc. ?

There are often narrow gaps like this next to the refrigerator and sink. If the storage space at home is limited, you might as well make use of it.

The white storage cabinet from Sanko pictured above is the best-looking one that I found after flipping through dozens of pages on Taobao. No clutter can be seen, and the presence is lower. Unfortunately, the size does not match our home. ?

Various styles can also be stacked according to different storage needs. For example, in this case, the lower part is in the gap and is drawer-style, while the upper part can be taken directly from the side. However, the sides of refrigerators and washing machines are usually used to dissipate heat, and I don’t like putting food and drinks so close. ?

4. Front-opening storage box

On the top of the narrow cabinet on the right side of the washing machine mentioned earlier, I placed such a front-opening storage box as a dirty clothes basket. ?

Narrow cabinets have a certain height, and if the storage space above the line of sight is used for drawer-type storage, it will be very inconvenient to access items. This kind of front-opening storage box (aka hippo mouth storage box) is much more reasonable. ?

Two storage products from different brands are superimposed, and they are exactly the same height as a washing machine and dryer. Every time I see them, I feel relaxed and happy. With handy tools, housework becomes easier. ?

5. Storage boxes with handles

The high places on wall cabinets and shelves, especially the inside ones, are always difficult to use. I usually use boxes with handles to store daily necessities that are light and take up space, such as tissue paper and mopping towels. ?

Most of these storage boxes are white or transparent. I use transparent boxes in the cabinet to make it easier to find things immediately; I use white in the places where I can see them every day, so that they are not visually cluttered. Because the stored objects are usually regular and single, there is no need to use labels to distinguish them once you are familiar with them. ?

The materials of some storage boxes can also be used in the refrigerator compartment. I like to use transparent boxes in the refrigerator so that I can see them at a glance and it’s not easy to forget the stored ingredients. ?

If placed on an open shelf or cabinet, you can use a storage box with a lid, just clean the outside regularly. ?

6. Multi-functional trolley

I used to have a bad habit of always leaving things on the table after using them. , wait until it becomes very messy and then make an effort to tidy it up. Later, I tried to put all the necessary items in the restaurant, such as fruits, paper towels, TV remote controls, etc., on this trolley. Make sure the table is empty except when eating. The subconscious mind will maintain this sense of order, so things will no longer be piled up in disorder. ?

Having hot pot at a party is even better. Seasonings and dishes that cannot be placed can be placed on the trolley, which can be regarded as an extension of the desktop space. The IKEA "Hornavan" I used was priced at 69 yuan during the discount. The IKEA "Lask" pictured below and the Danish "Normann Block Table" are also very popular styles. You can choose the one that suits you based on your budget and size.

7. Suction cup-type sticky hooks?

There are a lot of odds and ends in the bathroom and kitchen. If you want to keep the countertops fresh, my secret is to "hang them on the wall." ?

If you have a phobia of punching like me, you might as well try this suction-cup sticky hook. Hang mops, wash basins, soap, rolls, towels, etc. It can be washed and dried and can be reused. If you find it inconvenient after using it for a while, it is also convenient to change the position. ?

Whether the sticky hook is reliable or not has something to do with the material of the wall. The smoother the surface, the stronger the adsorption force. In addition, the wall of the bathroom is prone to water stains. Regularly remove the sticky hook and rinse it with clean water. Use a water stain remover to scrub the wall and stick it again. It will be much better. If you are still worried, don't put glass bottles or other heavy objects to avoid breaking them. ?

The hooks in this series of our home are all white, which is consistent with the black, white and gray tones of the bathroom. Even if there are many things, it will not look cluttered.

?

8. Lock and Lock storage jar?

The transparent jar with a white lid in the upper right corner of the shelf. I bought more than 20 of them one after another. They are used to store grains for making soup and porridge. Dry stuff. There are three models: large, medium and small. The large one can fit regular-sized noodles, and the small and medium sizes can be stacked infinitely through the active lock. ?

I have bought some other styles of storage boxes. Some of them are superimposed by pressing hard. They need to be pulled apart hard when opening, and it is easy to spill the contents of the lower box. This type of lock is still recommended. It only requires a clever move to open and close. ?

After stacking, place it on the side door of the refrigerator or on a high shelf. If it shakes slightly, you don’t have to worry about it falling over. The sealing performance is also good, and the stored ingredients are not susceptible to moisture. The can is completely transparent, so you can quickly find what you need. Wide-mouth design makes it easy to pick up and clean. ?

9. Drawer-divided storage boxes?

Small items in the kitchen are easy to find or get worn if they are mixed up in a pile. Use such partitioned storage The boxes are packed separately and there will be no mess when you open the drawer. ?

IKEA has many choices of different colors and materials. Remember to measure the drawer size in advance before purchasing. ?

Ah, it’s so wonderful to have a perfectly harmonious life.
