Organization is much more a matter of habit than anything else. There is no point in hurrying in the morning scattering bags, coats and glasses everywhere and expecting everything to be in order when you return. By doing this kind of thing, you create one more (unnecessary) task for later, when you could simply have spent a few minutes putting things back in place on time.
Practicality has to be the keyword of the modern woman. Organizing your life well is key to keeping stress away and enjoying your time smarter and more productively. With that in mind, architect and personal organizer Juliana Faria has come up with some simple and practical tips divided by room. You'll find that keeping your home organized doesn't have to take so much work. Check out:
bedroom
1. Don't spread it all! Try to save things as soon as you finish using them. If there is no way, set up a mess basket where you will put anything you don't have time to store in the right place. But Juliana warns: it's not worth letting the mess accumulate! "When you have time, return everything to its proper place."
2. Stop creating extensions for your closet. Many women have a bad habit of hanging out on bedroom furniture such as maids, chairs, and even treadmills or exercise bikes. Cut this evil in the bud. Once you run out of piles of mess, you will find what you need much faster.
3. Arrange the wardrobe. Is it really necessary to put the wardrobe down each time you get ready? Certainly not. Juliana gives a good tip to help keep the closet more organized and functional:? Sort the pieces by category.? It is worth joining shirt with shirt, jeans with jeans and even dividing the clothes by colors. Another tip is to use vacuum bags to store your coats during the summer. "This helps keep the garment smelly and saves space," adds the personal organizer.
Living room
4. Less is more! "A room with fewer exposed decorations is an easier room to keep clean and tidy," Juliana recommends. Choose your decor items by hand. Good taste and housekeeping thank you!
5. Separate magazines and newspapers. Your coffee table doesn't have to be a paper warehouse. Buy a magazine rack to store the publications you subscribe to, leaving furniture free for home décor, suggests the expert.
6. Multipurpose objects. Instead of throwing everything on the shelf anyway, set aside a weekend to organize your books in a more beautiful way. "Put some standing and others lying down and try to work out the difference in color, height and texture of each object to make it interesting to the eyes," recommends Juliana.
Kitchen
7. Vertical organizers. In addition to giving a more modern look to the environment, vertical organizers not only help to make your kitchen more organized, but also allow the dishes and pans to be handy when cooking. Visit a housewares store and choose from the many models available, from plastic to stainless steel.
8. Hidden and functional. "The interior of the cupboard door can be filled with small hooks that will be used to hang sieves, measuring spoons and scissors," says the personal organizer. In addition, you'll free up more drawer space. These hooks are easily found in supermarkets. Prefer the sticky versions: just take off the sticker, press for a few seconds and you're done!
9. Standardize the pots. There is nothing more unpleasant than opening the cupboard door and being surprised by a sea of plastic pots falling over your head. No more throwing them there anyway! Place the caps separated by size and type in baskets. Will this help when it comes to finding the right cover? Suggests the expert. One tip is to buy the pots all at once while maintaining a size standard. It's easier to keep each other inside like this.
WC
10. Free bench! No accumulating things in the bathroom. Juliana recommends that the countertop be kept as free as possible to facilitate daily cleaning. It is a good idea to organize bathroom items in plastic or acrylic baskets that do not spoil with moisture.
11. Out, make up! Make place is not in the bathroom, much less medicines and perfumes. Besides compromising the quality of products, the humid environment favors the emergence of fungi, warns Juliana. Store each of these items in appropriate boxes and in drier environments, such as the bedroom closet or dressing table.
12. Organize your creams. "Use plastic baskets to organize creams and other beauty products," suggests Juliana.One option is to divide them by body part; This makes it much easier to find what you need without removing everything in front of you every time you use some cream.
Backyards and balconies
13. Enjoy the view! If you live in an apartment, make your balcony a pleasant place with few things. You can lay a floor that resembles a wooden deck and complete the area with white stones. A chair and a beautiful vase with plants are a great way to enjoy the environment ?, says the organization expert.
14. Enjoy the great outdoors. In homes, small backyards can serve as both an extension of the service and leisure areas, says Juliana. Install retractable clotheslines so that you can change the functionality of the environment in the most convenient way at that time. After all, is there anything hotter than enjoying a breakfast or an outdoor Sunday lunch?
15. Dumpsters in order. Juliana recommends that dumpsters be camouflaged whenever possible, but more importantly, they should always be kept clean. Cover them tightly, always use trash bags and wash them weekly with water and some cleaning agent.
