There are lots of times, things lie in an unorganized fashion at home. They range from toys, books to even buttons. Each year I have tried to make a conscious effort to change that. Here are some daily use items which can aid in organizing your clutter.
1. Plastic storage bucket – very useful in holding laundry as well as outdoor play equipment such as bats, rackets etc.
2. 4 in 1 toothbrush holder – Children’s stationary can be sorted out in each compartment. One to hold pens, pencils, crayons or sketch pens and paint brushes.
3. Over the door shoe racks – My fetish for shoes forced me to introduce this one to my closet. Any bright canvas cloth with compartments much like an apron with many pockets can serve this purpose. In a child’s room it adds a design element to the closet.
4. Wire hangers – They make the best bangle racks and can accommodate unlimited numbers.
5. Small square basins – Useful in storing small toys like dinky cars, kitchen set etc
6. 6 in 1 masala storage boxes – Useful in storing stationary items like pins, staples, buttons etc.
7. Discarded rectangular tray – Organizing envelopes, different kinds of cellotape and elastic etc becomes very easy.
8. An old terracotta long vase or pot – Storing your brooms in your service verandah has never been more stylish
9. Spice bags – Most of us overstock on spices and find them losing their aroma in a while. Tiny spice bags can be made and kept within the men’s closet to preserve the clothes from pests.
10. Grain galatta – Fill an old wine bottle(with a cork) with different coloured grain and spices and place on an open kitchen shelf or in the entry point of the house. Watch the colours of your kitty party go green!!
Enjoy your spring cleaning and always remember the age old saying “Cleanliness is next to Godliness”. This is basically the Zen of life!!
