35 Home Organization Ideas To Help Establish Order In All The Chaos

By Daniella C

When it comes to decoration and renovation, we never know whether to hire an architect, an interior designer, or do everything ourselves. If you choose the third option, do not despair. It may seem like a difficult task at first, mainly because we have to choose all the elements, keeping in mind that you must live with your choices in the end.

We believe in trusting the creation and organization process. In addition, the main point of a renovation or revamping your house is to try to use the materials that are already in the home, just with some mortifications, such as a different color or design, so that all is not lost.

To help you throughout this confusing process, we compiled 35 ideas dealing with renovation and organization so you will be inspired rather than daunted to revamp your home.

Not an easy choice

Wood has several uses, so knowing how to use it can be a great differential, as we can build several pieces with it. This person, for example, decided to create a nail polish display. This is a fantastic idea, especially for those who have their own business.

A new vision

Sometimes, we don’t need to renovate our house. We’re tired of the old decor and only want to do a few small projects. A tip for this is to start noticing the small details, such as the position of the sofa or armchair. Feng Shui goes a long way.

Space optimization

If you have a small bedroom and don’t have a place to store all your clothes, don’t worry, because a perfect solution for this situation is to put drawers under the bed. These beds have become very popular over the years, so you have several models to choose from.

This definitely makes it easy to find one that fits perfectly into the theme of the room. It’s important to remember that if you choose a bed like this, always leave the space in front of the drawers accessible so you can pull them out without any obstructions.

Daily read, no mess

Never lose your pens again

Who doesn’t like stationery supplies? And, what’s better than going to a store and buying all kinds of pencils, pens, and erasers? That’s making your own pen and pencil holder. After buying this stuff, many of us tend to dump it on the first table we see and lose everything right away.
