Keep Clutter at Bay This Year with These 3 Home Improvement Projects

By

When you picture your dream kitchen, you probably envision clear countertops, a pantry full of labeled and well-stored dry goods, and organized cupboards. When you think of your ideal bedroom, you likely see a freshly made bed, neat bedside tables, and a closet full of crisp, organized clothes. After all, creating a home that makes you feel relaxed, joyful, and content isn’t always about décor—it’s often about organization.


If your New Year’s resolution is to keep your home tidy and organized, a few simple home renovations can help. Whether you want to upgrade your home’s tool storage or break clutter-causing habits, these three simple projects can help.

Give the Garage a Makeover

If you’re like most homeowners, your garage likely doubles as a storage unit. Whether you store seasonal décor, sports equipment, or tools in your garage, chances are your garage sees its fair share of clutter throughout the year. Luckily, the right storage solutions can keep miscellaneous items, tools, and seasonal gear from piling up in corners throughout the year.

While wall racks and storage totes are great ways to keep your garage organized and tidy, a cabinet garage storage system can also help your garage serve as a functional workspace. In the new year, you can keep your garage clutter-free and functional with a storage system featuring a built-in work bench and plenty of room for tools and equipment.

Elevate Your Entryway

If your family tosses coats, backpacks, and mail on the kitchen counter—resulting in a daily heap of unsightly clutter—create a space for these items in your entryway. After all, the best way to break clutter-causing habits is to form better daily routines!

By adding coat hooks, a hat rack, and a wall-mounted mail organizer to the foyer of your home, you can stop clutter in its tracks. These simple entryway enhancements will not only make your home tidier but also help you and your family feel organized as you start and end your days.

Find Functional Furniture

Do you live in a historic home with plenty of built-in shelves, cupboards, and closets? Or, is your home sleek and modern without personalized storage solutions? Whether or not your home boasts plenty of storage, the right furniture can help you optimize your space and keep clutter to a minimum.

Bedframes with built-in drawers are a great way to organize bedrooms. Ottomans and footstools with storage compartments are ideal for keeping living rooms neat and tidy. Bookshelves, freestanding dressers, and coffee tables can help you find a place for everything in your home, from knickknacks to extra linens. To start your year off on a tidy note, upgrade clutter-prone areas of your home with furniture pieces that feature unique storage solutions.

A tidy home can help you and your family feel relaxed, efficient, and organized throughout the year. With these three renovations, you head into the new year with a neat, clutter-free home.
