For the average household, the living room serves as a multi-purpose space for everyone. It’s the den, lounge, office, game room, play area, relaxation space and even the gym. But how can you keep your living room organised and clutter-free? Here are our top six suggestions:
Create a ‘Place-Space’
A living room with things everywhere will always look untidy even if it’s well sanitised. It’s best to have a space for everything in your living room so you don’t have random things on every surface. You can use a box or basket to remove foreign items quickly. Also, encourage everyone in the home to keep their personal belongings in their proper place and out of the living room to help reduce clutter.
Have Shelving
In homes with lots of furniture, or even cosier homes, there may not be space to put another table or “whatnot”, and that’s where shelves come in. Different types include fixed, adjustable, corner, floating, and pull-out shelves – which all work great to remove items from surfaces. So you can place all the “Happy Mother’s Day” picture frames on a shelf and clear up the tables. Also, you can place decorative storage baskets on the shelves to hold keys, mail, remote controls and so on.
