Let’s face it, keeping your home clean is a constant dance. Adulthood feels like it’s an endless cycle of putting things on surfaces and picking things up off of surfaces. If you’re wondering how you can get that constantly tidy look in your own home, you’ve come to the right place.

Corral the Clutter

There’s no better way to keep clutter at bay than by corralling it into the proper storage confines. We’re talking baskets, bins, tubs, trays, cubbies, shoe boxes, and anything else you can think of! Try rolling up and putting extra blankets in a pretty basket in the corner of your living room. Is there a pile of shoes at your front door? Go for a stylish shoe dresser at the entryway. Clean up your home office clutter with a minimalistic, matte black desk set.

Organizers

So long to the days of opening the junk drawer or kitchen utensil drawer and being overcome with a sense of impending doom. With the right type of organizational pieces, crammed, disorganized drawers will be a thing of the past. Try one of these for the junk drawer and this for kitchen utensil organization.

The 10-Minute Tidy

10 minutes is all you need to tidy up your place. No, seriously! Set a 10-minute timer on your phone and with zero distractions, pick up random items and place them in their correct spots, load the dishwasher, quickly fold and fluff any couch pillows or throws, corral as much clutter as you can, and wipe down surfaces. This is an ideal way to tidy up your place in a pinch and should be done on a daily routine. Try getting in the habit of a 10-minute tidy first thing in the morning as coffee is brewing or use it as a screen-free, wind-down time before bed.
