5 solutions to use to tidy up all your small, frequently-used items

Every day, for all the different activities around the house, we use a myriad of accessories, which we usually store in specific points of the home. But, somehow, the smaller and more commonly used accessories often end up getting lost or misplaced. And if we are in a hurry to do a chore, hunting for a misplaced accessory or appliance can be a real pain.

So why not help yourself by arranging supports and furnishing elements that will help you maintain order? Here are some solutions that can really make a difference:

Storage trays

We often don't realize how much every free surface in the home - from the front door to the bedside table - become a magnet for a myriad of small objects. So get yourself trays of various kinds (or even baskets with low edges), to be able to arrange commonly used objects that must remain in sight, but should be kept in an orderly fashion (like keys, for example).

The car keys at the front door, glasses and a clock on the bedside table, various accessories on the desk, jewelry and similar: everything can be arranged in order by using storage trays.

Drawer dividers

In the kitchen, we can use drawer dividers to keep our utensils and gadgets in order (especially those items we cannot hang up).

And the same goes for organising work tools in the garage or for all our stationery accessories that we keep in our desk drawers. And these dividers are also useful for our arts and crafts supplies and tools. Remember, order is the friend of productivity.

Remote controls at your fingertips

Between the television, the decoder, the stereo, receivers of various kinds, living rooms are now full-blown media stations with many devices controlled with remote controls. And then there are also air conditioners or dehumidifiers. And if other home automation solutions are also included, remote controls can be found all over the place. Get yourself a remote controller store box so they are always to hand and easy to find.

Laundry corner

Doing the laundry is already a chore that is a pain to do and we can't even find the right detergents and products for that particular wash, this task becomes even more frustrating. So, near the washing machine or dryer, it is best to find a way to organize an area with everything you will need.

Seasonal fashion accessories

In winter, when you leave the home, it is sometimes essential to have gloves, a hat and a scarf with you. And maybe there are some other garments that we use every day during winter: why not keep them ready at the entrance using a few storage baskets? Or at least gather them all up in one place where they are easily accessible.

The same is true for sunglasses, scarves, baseball caps and whatever accessories we use frequently during the rest of the year.
