How many times have you tried to find something in your home, only for it to totally allude you? You then enter a repetitive cycle of promising to be tidier and not letting things get so cluttered again… until next time. Well, we think it's time that you broke the cycle once and for all, so here we are with some fantastic tips for creating a better organised and more productive household.

We know that de-cluttering, tidying and organising isn't fun for everyone, so we want you to stay focused on the end result; better home organisation that makes for a simpler life. Are you ready? Then let's start!

Put those stairs to work!

Better home organisation starts with small things, like increasing the amount of usable storage you have in your house. We aren't talking about you buying more furniture and making the footprint even more cramped though; we think you should look for undeveloped goldmines of potential, such as under your stairs!

We love this set up, from Held Schreinerei, as it is everything we want, all rolled up into one convenient and hidden package! Useful drawers make light work of organising your belongings, as everyone could have their own designated ones, while flush-fitting doors hide the whole area away when you want to. Fantastic!

A key part of embracing better home organisation really is the dreaded huge clear out. We know not many of you like doing it, but trust us, it really is cathartic and allows for a far more productive house! 

Anything you have been hoarding, but not using, for more than a year needs to go! This includes clothes, so don't leave your wardrobes untouched! Set up recycling bins, as seen here and when they are full, you can take your no longer wanted items to relevant places that will make great use of them, such as clothing banks and charity shops. Don't you feel better already?

Fit your storage to the space available

In the bid for better home organisation, why go small when you can accommodate big? We're talking about integrated storage of course and we think this amazing wardrobe is the perfect example. Could a smaller unit have fitted in here? Yes, with ease, but how would it deal with extra clothing in the future? Would you have to replace it sooner or later?

Look at the viable space you have available and look to inject large storage capacity, as it will always come in handy and is a good way to future-proof your interior design scheme.

Try something adventurous on the walls

If you think better home organisation has to only include hidden storage and big wardrobes, think again! You can look to make an artistic style statement with your newly well-functioning house too!

If you have a number of books, trinkets and candles that you can't bring yourself to get rid of in the big de-cluttering cull, why not look to make more of them? Adding beautiful and funky wall shelves to communal areas, such as the living room, not only looks great, it helps you inject a lot more of yourself into the space too. Plus, if at any point you get bored of looking at the same items, you can mix them up and constantly refresh the room.

Think outside the box

It's not only boxes and drawers that can come in handy for better home organisation, so if you like something a little more unusual, why not think about these fun storage baskets? They are perfect for children's' bedrooms, home offices and any other room that takes your fancy and can be used in a myriad of ways!

We think these would make terrific laundry baskets and waste paper bins and they add such a stylish dimension! We are willing to bet that they are so fun that all other members of the household will be willing to actually use them too!

Don't forget hidden spaces

Sneaky storage is our favourite, as you can give the impression of having embraced better home organisation, with a clean and uncluttered home, but in actual fact, you have simply sought out ways to hide your messiness! Under bed storage is perfect, as unless people are given an invite, nobody will be invading your bedroom to see where you hide everything! The ideal location for spare bed linen and towels, which seem to take up vast amounts of room, under bed storage will help you reclaim drawer and cupboard space for other items! It's a win win!
