Space is in short supply these days. Whether you live in a rural or urban area, the feeling can quickly set in that you don’t have enough space around the home. We often accumulate things over the years. We may get rid of rubbish or try to recycle items. But we are also likely to have important items and documents that we can’t get rid of, but that do take up space. Help is at hand. Many people report that a tidy, well-organized space helps them to feel less anxious and think more clearly. They can find things easily and rooms stay tidier for longer. If you label everything nicely with a label maker from Label City you can keep things organized even longer. If creating space has become a priority for you, then there are a few easy changes you can make today.

Go Electronic


It can be truly remarkable how much waste paper one household can accumulate. We may be able to toss some of the less important items like magazines and advertisements. But receipts, bank statements, contracts and other items can be very important. We may also find that we have accumulated stacks and stacks of books, DVDs, and music. Fortunately, all of these items can now be made “electronic”. Many banks now offer the option of receiving a monthly statement via email, for example. Some stores are making it possible to receive receipts directly to your phone. Many changes are now being made to make products and processes less wasteful with paper. Even though DVDs and music don’t count as paper, they can still cause unnecessary clutter in our home. By downloading from sites like Tradebit, we can minimize the space they take up by saving them onto a laptop or hard-drive. They become instantly easier to catalogue and you free up some much-needed shelf space. The next time there is an important document, product, or transaction, think carefully if you can go digital!

Effective Storage

If we have identified what needs to be kept and what needs to be thrown away, we next need effective storage. This means storage that will keep our items dry, safe, and organized. But that also doesn’t take up too much space in itself. Stackable containers are always a good option and are usually affordable too. A few extra shelves can also make a big difference because they prevent items from being left on the floor or all over tables, for example. It may also be possible to make use of the spaces under furniture. Some containers slide under beds and sofa, for example. Items are easy to reach but out of sight and carefully stored.

Don’t Overlook Unused Spaces

Many of us think we don’t have enough space. But in reality we are often just not making the best use of our space. Many homeowners are especially guilty of overlooking spaces like the garden, attic, and basement. They are excellent potential storage areas. But they are often overlooked because they have become so uncluttered or badly kept that it would take time and effort to organize them first. But this could be a worthwhile investment of your time. Clean out cluttered spaces over the course of a few hours or days, and you will have a tidy area that you can use for years!
