Give your home a makeover with these home organisation ideas<\/span><\/h1>\n

Whether you live in a seven bedroom maisonette in Banana Island or a one bedroom apartment in Ajah, home organisation is key to your productivity, health, wellbeing and psychological satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n

The secret to an organised house is doing the seemingly small things regularly to ensure cleanliness and organisation are maintained. Below are home organisation ideas for various rooms in your house to ensure that your house is always spick and span.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Have a Designated Launch Pad<\/h2>\n

A launch pad in the house is the area where people entering the house will transition from the outside coming in. This is where they will take off their shoes, coats, hats and leave bags, keys, and other paraphernalia. Your launch pad should take into consideration all items that family members and guests might have and have a specific way of storing these items in an orderly manner. For instance, you can instal a couple of hooks for coats, scarves and bags; a small shoe rack for the shoes; and a small box or tray for keys and other small items.<\/p>\n

2. Coloured Separation<\/h2>\n

Assign every family member with a different colour then buy items within these colour codes. This especially works for items that may get mixed up and helps family members, especially children, find and organise their items. Items that you can colour code include cereal and salad bowls, towels, face towels, toothbrushes, laundry baskets, backpacks, lunch boxes, travelling bags, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Labels Save Lives!<\/h2>\n

Labelling doesn\u2019t end with stationery in office settings. Label areas and things around the house to help maintain order. Family members will know where to find what without rummaging through other storage areas. \u00a0Label drawers in the kitchen, boxes in the bedrooms, cabinets in the bathroom and also shelves in other rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Set Up Calendars and Reminders<\/h3>\n

If you are a super busy parent juggling between career, household management, kids, and your own personal life, you might find out that some important tasks fall through the gaps and get forgotten. Until they are needed. Setting up calendars and reminders takes care of this. The calendar can be online or a physical one with colour codes for each family member. Calendars can have important events like birthdays, meetings in your children\u2019s school, and social events.<\/span><\/p>\n
