If the room is spacious and light, then thought and breathing is easier. But sooner or later a lot of things accumulate in any house, occupying almost all the free space. It is enough to adhere to 5 simple rules, which many believe that in such conditions it is a science to make the house less cluttered, but in fact recommended by experienced housewives.

 

Correct arrangement of furniture There is a misconception that furniture should be placed along the walls – they say, then the room seems more spacious. But in order to avoid the effect of clutter in the house, it is worth using the principle of zoning. It involves creating a kind of “island” where furniture items that can be used simultaneously or have a similar purpose are close together and not scattered around the room. At the same time, it is important to remember the basic principle – you can not put furniture so that it blocks the window.

 

 

Natural daylight should penetrate the room and be illuminated  unhindered, as this creates the illusion of spaciousness and, by the way, is essential for health. Organized storage of things Often, the house looks cluttered not because of excessive things, but because of improper storage. You can arrange items more compactly as follows: Packaging from household appliances – until the warranty expires, you should not throw away boxes, even for the sake of cleanliness and comfort at home.

 

 

To save space, they can be folded and hidden, for example, behind a cabinet. Tools, things for hobbies and creativity, children’s toys – all this is easily stored in containers on the shelf. It is best to purchase opaque containers so that their contents do not stand out. Clothes and shoes – the ideal solution would be to break the wardrobe according to the seasons and vacuum things. After the air is evacuated from the package, its volume will decrease 3-5 times. By the way, you can do the same with pillows and blankets. As for shoes, it is best to store them on high vertical shelves – firstly, the material does not deform in this way, and secondly, you will need a small piece of the hallway measuring 30 Ă— 30 to place a shelf on which the shoes of all family members will fit. centimeter. habit of placing things

 

 

You can make your home less cluttered by placing each item in its place and convenient for later use.

The same rule applies to clothes – after changing clothes, the things to be washed should be taken to the laundry basket, and the rest hung in the closet. regular naming At least once a year, and even better – every three or four months, you need to inspect the house and get rid of unnecessary things.

 

More clutter: Outdated or obsolete wardrobe items. In order not to throw away their once favorite trousers, sweaters and dresses, people console themselves with the thought of what to wear when going to the forest, on a picnic or planting potatoes in the country. In fact, this will never happen – the garbage will simply accumulate and take place in the closet. Unused furniture. Chairs without even a cat, half-empty cabinets and bookshelves, rocking chairs inherited from my grandmother and sent to a corner – all these cannot be called part of interior or functional furniture. If you ship or sell these items to a landfill, about a quarter of the space is freed up. Souvenirs and gifts are not very well liked.

 

Millions of different trinkets that do not fit into the decoration of the house, but still lie on the shelves, collecting dust – this is what should be thrown away without a shadow of regret. Household items that have lost their original appearance. Plates with chipped edges, slippers gnawed by the puppy, gray-brown-reddish stained kitchen towels, worn sofa cushions and similar items are perceived by our subconscious as garbage, not as household essentials. Accordingly, the effect of cluttering the house with all kinds of old things is created.

 

A good solution is to put them all in one storage area. Broken technique. If some appliances have stopped working and for the third month in a row homeowners haven’t had time to fix it on their own or turn it down for repair, it means they can do it with more comfort. There’s no point in keeping burnt-out mixers and curling irons, table lamps with broken shades, or non-working headphones at home “just in case.” Waste paper. This broad word combines old magazines and newspapers, useless books, nice boxes that are sad to throw away, notebooks with old information from last year, last year to the year before and even older calendars. only thoughtful shopping.
