Here are some home organisation tips and tricks to help you get started:

Utilise vertical space

Shelves, wall organisers, and hanging rods can all create plenty of extra storage space.

Invest in multi-functional furniture like ottomans with storage or beds with built-in drawers.

Repurpose

Re-purpose everyday items to store items like shoe boxes for craft supplies or mason jars for spices.

Sorting is the first step to organising your home. You need to assess what you have in order to decide what best to do with each item. When sorting, I always have four piles, keep, chuck, donate & sell.

Tackle one small area at a time eg a cupboard or toy box
Remove toys from their boxes and packaging; cut out & keep a picture from the box with any instructions. Small pieces can be kept in reusable bags to save them from getting lost.
Storage boxes without lids can make tidying up quicker and kids are less likely to empty every box out if they can see what is inside.
If wardrobe and cupboard space is limited, under-bed storage can be a game changer
If hanging space is limited, make sure every garment deserves its place. Sort clothing by type or colour and use space underneath for folded items like sweaters, scarves and wraps.
