3. Create Designated Spaces

To help organize your space, it's best practice to have a specific place for every item in your home. This will not only help you to easily find your everyday items, but prevent clutter from accumulating in the first place. Whether it be a bowl on your entryway table to store keys and a wallet, or a tray, opens in a new tab on your nightstand for stray jewelry, there's no shortage of ways you can introduce thoughtful items into your home that serve an organizational purpose.

4. Abide by the "One In, One Out" Rule

Though this rule has its challenges, it's a great way to create a clutter-free, thoughtfully designed home. For every new item you bring into your space, consider letting go of a similar one. This rule encourages you to be more mindful of what you acquire and helps to maintain a tidy home.
