In addition, we have some additional ideas on the subject to share.
Home organizing boils down to a simple principle: you either need more storage, or you need less stuff (or both!). And there is no place in the home where that principle is more applicable than the living room! This is where we live which means that it is often in a state of flux. To keep your items in their proper place, approach it mathematically. How much space do I have? How much stuff do I have? Can I make that equation work? Leverage vertical space and don’t be afraid to mount things on the wall to keep them from becoming clutter. Vertical space is perfect for storage and displaying keepsakes.
Form and function reigns supreme so keep the details in mind. Wrangle all those pesky cords in a sleek bamboo cord container. Identify one spot for your remotes and make sure everyone in the house gets the memo. And think about unique solutions like how your ottoman can double as a coffee table to minimize excess furniture.
When the emotional connection to our things gets activated, focus on building the muscle of "letting go." As a professional organizer specializing in zero waste, we help our clients realize that "letting go" does not have to mean going to the landfill! It means rehoming your beloved items so that others can enjoy them as much as you once did. This realization can make it easier to declutter and purge. And whatever you do, remember that out of sight does not mean out of mind, so no stuffing your drawers full of things that will never see the light of day again.
