Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by clutter in your home? Fed up with those items that never really seem to have a place to live? Did you swear to yourself that you would finally get organized in 2023? If you answered yes to any of those questions, Closet & Storage Concepts of Charlotte can help. Read on for 5 steps to a more organized home this year.

Step 1: Declutter

One of the biggest obstacles to keeping a home organized is having too much stuff. Take some time to go through each room in your house and get rid of anything that you no longer need or use. Donate items that are still in good condition, and recycle or dispose of anything that is no longer usable. Not only will this free up space, but it will also make it easier to keep the remaining items organized.

Step 2: Assess Your Storage Needs

Next, assess your specific needs. Which areas in your home are the biggest trouble spots? Which items are most likely to be found cluttering up a side table or valuable floor space? Once you know that, you can consider what type of storage would be best for them. We offer custom-built solutions for everything from your novel collection to the garden tools, and everything in between!

Step 3: Get Creative

Custom storage doesn’t have to be boring. There are plenty of ways to get creative with your storage solutions. Use floating shelves to display items that can double as décor, or pull-out baskets for produce in the pantry. And with Closet & Storage Concepts, you can choose from a wide variety of styles, finishes, and hardware for your storage, so you can keep up with the latest home trends and keep things organized at the same time.

Step 4: Create a System for Keeping Track of Things

Whether it’s a calendar for scheduling appointments, a to-do list for keeping track of tasks, or a filing system for important papers, having a system in place will make it easier to stay on top of things. Of course, actually sticking to that system is easier said than done, but starting small and setting reminders for yourself to update the system regularly will help you stay consistent.

Step 5: Make it a Habit

Speaking of consistency, organization isn’t a one and done project. It’s a continuous process, and it’s important to make it a habit. Set aside time each day or week to maintain your organization systems and keep things tidy. The more you do it, the more it will become a natural part of your routine.

With these steps and a little patience, you can make your home both beautiful and functional. Turn to custom storage solutions to make the most of your space without sacrificing your personal style.
