Lower Your Stress Through Better Home Organization

3.29.2019

A cluttered, messy house can make life more stressful. If you’re lacking basic home organization, it can have a profound negative effect on your daily life and stress levels. If you can’t find your keys, you could miss important appointments. If toys are lying around, someone could trip and get seriously hurt. If you can’t find an important bill and pay it on time, your credit could suffer.

At Modular Closets, we want to help make life more stress-free by offering home organization solutions. We specialize in closets systems that are both beautiful and affordable thanks to our modular approach to custom closets. We’d also like to help you with some home storage strategies that can help reduce your stress levels.

Here are 4 tips that can help you to lower your stress through a better approach to home organization:

1. Organize Your Clothes by Style

One way to bring more simplicity to your life is to organize your clothes by how you use them.

For example, put all your professional clothes together, all your workout outfits together, all your weekend wear together, etc. If you have clothes you only wear on rare occasions, keep them in the back of your closet. Store seasonal wear either in the farthest reaches of your closet or in another room.

By keeping what you wear most often right in front of you and easy to find, you’ll streamline the process of getting dressed every day.

2. Clean Out Your Drawers

We all have drawers in our home that get filled with clutter: desk drawers, sock drawers, kitchen drawers, etc.

Start with one cluttered drawer and get it organized. Throw out things that have accumulated that you never use then sort the items you want to keep using drawer organizers. It shouldn’t take too long to transform one drawer from a total mess to an organized haven – and the momentum of a small win can help motivate you to continue organizing.

3. Keep, Toss, or Sell/Donate

To simplify your lifestyle and get rid of clutter and extra stress, you want to let go of material objects that you don’t love and use.

One of the best ways to sort through your belongings is the “Keep, Toss, of Sell/Donate” method. Start with a manageable area, like one drawer or one section of your closet. For every item, consider whether it’s something that brings joy and usefulness in your life. If not, it’s just adding to your stress and it’s time to get rid of it.

If the item is worn out or damaged, it’s probably time to just toss it. If someone else might benefit from it, consider donating it or even trying to sell it online.

4. Add In-Built Storage Solutions that Work for You

Once you’ve streamlined your belongings, you want to make sure you have the right resources and storage solutions in place so that it’s easy and stress-free to keep your home organized.

Your home might benefit from new storage units, like a system of shelves, drawers, and hanging rods that could be incorporated into your existing closet space. When you’re able to take advantage of every square inch of space you have, you can create a home environment that is tidy and beautiful. It will be a space where it will feel easy to come home and relax.

One of the best ways to eliminate stress is to get the support of others. If your family or friends will help you in the process of organization, that can make a big difference. In addition, if you’d like to enlist the help of professional organizers who can help guide you in a smart direction that makes sense for your life, check out our custom closet design process here at Modular Closets.
