5 steps to organize any room

Alright…you are working through your summer checklist and it’s time to organize that room that has been taunting you since the winter. Here are some foolproof tips to make the design and re-organization successful: 1. Determine purpose-  Decide how you want the room to be used and what activities you will be doing in the space. This provides a framework for what items will actually stay in the room. 2. Create a Plan- Sketch the room on graph paper. Then have fun and cut out furniture to scale (similar to what you already have in the room) from magazines! You can move the pieces around until you find the perfect flow and layout. No more moving heavy furniture several times! 3. Proper Homes-  Think of where you will habitually execute a task. Once you determine the best place to do something, gather all the materials you need to do that chore and put them into the location you previously chose. Group similar activities together into “zones” 4. Be Honest- Always ask yourself, “Do I need this?”, “Is it worth making room for?”, “Does it take me closer to the goal I have for using this space?” 5. Revisit Always assess the design and organization of your space. A change in your method of doing things always means a tweak for your space.
