10 EASY Home Organization Ideas To Live Clutter-Free (even if you're messy)

[@Christinamychas]

Let me know your best home organization tips & how you keep socks off the floor 😂

[@Poutinen]

My one tip is to have a place for everything. If you don't have place, things just drift around.

[@AkA-sw7rl]

Maybe try something like a woven basket with lid/bin with lid thing according to your taste so that the thing can be left out on the floor to double as “decorative item” to just throw the socks in as they are. Maybe it’s not optimal but still cuter than having them all over the floor? In case that was an earnest question at all 😂😂😊

[@caitpereira]

Having a pet who likes to chew holes in your socks (in our case, a bunny) is a great way to be motivated to keep things off the floor!

[@jenniferjennings8]

🏡🏠❤😊

[@lifestylemetropolis6734]

Money incentive - your partner gets paid a small amount every time he finds socks on the floor. 😎

[@ifeyhome]

There's a constant stream of clothing haul & capsule wardrobe videos on KZbin. We are living in a carousel of consumerism where more is more. Many ppl may aspire to this way of living where you just own what you need. They will firstly however need to divest from their current way of thinking where you need multiple handbags in an array of colours & sizes for different occasions. You just never get peace with that way of living because you never achieve satisfaction.

[@karenschmoutz6785]

Agree about the “haul” videos-sick to death of them & have stopped watching any. They’re just a continuous advertisement for video sponsors.

[@caitlinryder898]

I think it is so hard to "un-learn" this culture because we are constantly influenced to belong to it. The amount of advertising whether sponsored or not surrounds us.

[@aniazurek7258]

Yes!!! Couldn't agree more. I have actually unfollowed some channels because the consumerism side of things has gotten very out of hand. It's so off putting for so many reasons. Well said! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@meh5069]

I’m the first to admit that I am stuck in this loop, and you are spot on about never being satisfied. There is a major problem with contentment because advertising is really that powerful. I’m trying to claw my way out😢

[@vivio2852]

Two bikes to donate and I'm done with a year's worth of decluttering. Furniture, appliances, family heirlooms, household items, sheets, tons of vintage bits and bobs, towels,garden supplies, CDs, books, LPs, dishes, sports equipment, coats,shoes, home decor clothes, animal crates, traps and supplies - I'm sentimental and a saver so the process was often a painful one. Now at the end of December with only two bikes to donate, my life has expanded and there so much more ease and flow. It was definitely worth the pain of letting it go.

[@silverlining1379]

Good for you! Very inspiring!

[@beyourownbeliever]

I always organize my wardrobe for Autumn /winter and spring snd summer…Each season I check the clothes and declutter stuff and bring my shoes each season to the cobbler, so I have always my shoes ready for the new season. My goal for 2024 is a no buy year, I don’t want buy any clothes…I wanna see how much money I could put on the side. We all have to many stuff, and who needs every season 30 new pieces, when you got them in your wardrobe.

[@natka8181]

As a new homeowner living by myself for first time, I'm encountered numerous storage and organizational challenges which you have addressed in this video! I'mthankful and greatful for all your practical tips and suggestions on helpful products! Probably the most helpful video I've come across so far. Gratitude and blessings to you qnd your family!

[@margarethoughton6288]

I agree with using old tupperware without lids, and other cardboard containers are a great tip for keeping drawers tidy without spending x

[@DaniL-hr9xo]

Your "that's what she said " bits NEVER disappoint 😂❤

[@Christinamychas]

😂😂 can’t resist

[@pamelajezek677]

🏠 I enjoy all your videos, and this one is really useful. I lived 10 years on a boat and 20 years in a studio apartment. Those black velvet hangers, small boxes to organize drawers and one in/one out work for me even now that I live in a larger space. Thx!

[@Ori11.11]

Oh yes, i totally agree! I use that tricks too.

[@madisonostermann]

OMG that extra hanging rack to create double layers will perfectly solve a problem I’ve been trying to solve for 2 years!! I also second recommending tiered organizers for under a sink, that have the bottom shelf on a slider. Makes grabbing cleaning supplies super easy!

[@elcfiles]

🏠 appreciate that this was less of a "buy these things to better your life" and more "use your things you already have creatively". I think you also might find cool solutions for storage with Clutterbug as she has a fun system to tell you your organizing style, since you prefer tucked away things but still visable you might be a Bee or Ladybug!

[@Brooke-le5ym]

🏘 Thank you! I really needed this motivation. After a divorce, moving into a a small apartment and I won't have a dresser until I can save up for one, so the Ikea solution is great!! and everything in this video! Will be buying some stuff in the next week.

[@taxfrauddotcom]

Best of luck with the move 💖💖💖

[@maggiegreenisen8100]

🏠 I have used Legos for custom drawer organizers and small containers before. They work surprisingly well. 😁

[@Christinamychas]

Omg that’s AWESOME!

[@supernova622]

Holy crap that's genius

[@jacki838]

I was just thinking rid of the kids Legos - but now properly sized storage areas!

[@Christinamychas]

@@jacki838 get them to build it! Haha so fun

[@carolstewart1704]

Brilliant!

[@erintannehill]

Only on the first tip and OMGoodness! YES! I am obsessed with how different my closet looks with just this one change. Small change >> huge impact

[@Christinamychas]

Yessss!!

[@winromeo]

I had just moved after being in a slightly bigger place for 23 years. Also inherited some of mom’s items after losing her 1.5 yrs ago…needless to say this move was emotionally and physically stressful yet much needed for a new beginning. I first made a big decision to use my dresser as a TV console in the living room, which means I’ll need to relocate all my t-shirts to the closet! I purged so much of everything but still have a lot! I try to keep an open yet sensible mind when I re-organize my belongings, I constantly thanking for their services when I had to purge any items….it’s an on-going daily life lessons!! 🏠 😊

[@bunnyguia]

Glad I stumbled upon on your video. Out of hundreds of videos I've seen, only a very few of you are like this who is not overwhelmingly so many unnecessary items just for aesthetic. I like how you style your home with things you actually need on a daily and that is something I am actually hoping to see when Im searching clutter free organizational videos.

[@hokusai41]

🏚 I'm in the midst of a full declutter of 50 odd years worth of accumulation. I heartily agree with less "storage" and more decluttering.

[@mansoor3159]

I love love lovee your consistency with making vlogs!!!Keep going we love you Christina🥺💗✨

[@Christinamychas]

Love you back! Xo

[@jamesbriggs5740]

I love shelf stackers. Cardboard shoe boxes and sock boxes make my drawers organized. Kathy B Now I've got to declutter the piles of papers.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Omg “this thing” had one for years and lost it in the move but it is life changing!

[@lasdamaichon]

I love that you’ve focused on inspiring creative reuse as well as on inexpensive and free options while advertising a good product. My preferences are always to either buy nothing and get creative, or, if that’s not working well enough, eventually buy something so versatile, durable, aesthetic, and good that I’ll love it, use it, and transform it endlessly. The one reason I haven’t used Tr uEarth strips is that I read that all such products so far contain microplastic films that end up in the water supply. I trust the source a good deal so haven’t gotten around to looking into it further. Is it true?

[@livewire3976]

Both The Simple Environmentalist and Gittemary Johansen did really good videos here on youtube about laundry sheets I'd recommend! But yeah, one of the ingredients is PVA which is a type of plastic. It can be broken down but only with the right conditions so it's questionable. Unfortunate because the concept is good, but I wouldn't buy them myself.

[@wandguardnoodle]

I keep a small laundry basket next to the place where I get un/dressed, so I can just drop things like socks right in there.

[@livoda.h]

I’m genuinely surprised by how useful this video was. I’ve watched so many videos with similar titles that I just clicked on this video since I watch everything you upload. Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks! And thank you for showing alternatives to buying even more stuff. I’m going to spend the evening tidying and organising with a smile on my face and that’s rare! Ah, I just love your videos.

[@ros8986]

we store pots in oven - we only use the oven every few months to bake blondies for parties. I am using stainless steel roasting pans to store pantry small items (I can stack them). I switched to ikea 365 food square and rectagular storage containers, they stack, very economical on space. I use packing cubes to store many things, am still working on the arrangement.

[@k.l.8804]

Great tips, thank you 😊 🙏 Me and my hubby are about to move to another country & we will have a smaller house with only a very small closet for us to share. Kitchen is also very small. There isnt even a broom closet for vaccum/cleaning supplies, nothing! So.. we’ll need all the advice we can get! Personally I prefer Ikeas wodden hangers. They are very flat/not as bulky as most wodden hangers but still has a bit more width than those velveen ones, witch I prefer, otherwise they feel like they cut into the fabric of the garments, but maybe thats just the case with heavier garments? Just a tip for those who want to land somewhere in between you and your boyfriend? 😅 I also want to give a tip to everyone out there that have Kon Maried their homes and used old shoe boxes as dresser organisers for clothes: dont… Its a great tip she gives, but me and hubby were abroad for two months (scouting for a new home in the new country) and came back to a home semi-destroyed by mice! 😰🤢 They did not only settle for gordging on the pantry but went into every bed and closet and wardrobe space we have, defacating, peeing - and chewing up garments and matresses 😩 And - they just looove cardboard 🙄 And from ecperience in previous homes, different sorts of bugs (moths etc) love cardboard too… so, it might be a good idea to actually shop for bins and boxes in hard plastic were neither bugs nor rodents can enter… especially if its a space you dont use that much or are away for some time. Decluttering/minimizing of course always the first step like you say, but regardless of how much or little things we have we might want to keep it out of t the way of destructive forces… 😐 I have just ordered vacuum bags now to put extra bedding and towels etc, both for the move but also to be able to store away under the bed in the new storage-less home. I also hope they will keep bugs away… No more cardoaed boxes for storage for us in the future 🙄 Those kitchen solutions you show look interesting, will have to look into those once we have moved into the new place 🙂 But for now, I have to continue decluttering/minimizing for the move! 😅

[@MsAngieNightmare]

🏠 thanks for keeping me company as I tidy up.

[@heatherframpton9693]

Thank you, Christina! 🏡 😊❤ Much needed content for this girl here...getting more done this year & feeling accomplished with each space, closet, area in our home.❤

[@kathrynp7595]

I wish you had had some tips for your bathroom, maybe in another video 😉. The tips you gave were really helpful 👍🏼

[@Christinamychas]

I’ll have a dedicated vid!

[@kathrynp7595]

Great!

[@johncampbell5741]

This isn’t a solution for every bathroom depending on space and layout, but a couple years ago I finally got (secondhand purchase) one of those wooden boat shelving units for the master bathroom and used it to store towels and toiletries right next to the vanity. Instantly the vanity and sinks looked like a hotel and they are so much faster to clean than when all our stuff was on those surfaces. I also use some trays and bins on the boat shelf to keep things organized and tidy. I still have the same quantity of items readily accessible, but it somehow looks better and is much easier to deal with.

[@barbarahenn-pander5872]

Thank you for your practical tips. Also, you are articulate with a beautiful voice. I enjoyed many of the ideas. In my humid climate, some kind of desiccant (bamboo charcoal, Lee Valley, or Bentonite clay), and possibly cedar essential oil in some format, in any closed plastic container will keep things fresh. Relaxing watch. Thank you.

[@AnnaAliyeva]

I needed this video so much cause I recently moved from a house in Massachusetts to an apartment in California and it’s been a struggle with organizing my place especially with a family of 5. Thank you 🤍

[@oliaziabrieva8662]

Wow I love this video! These rules are simple and easy to apply yet make such a big difference ! Huge thanks, going to do this asap !

[@livewire3976]

🏡 that bread tag cord clip idea is genius...might have to try that!

[@akamiss99]

🏠 Lovely, simple, achievable tips for anybody. There are a few here I will be implementing. Thanks, Christina! ❤

[@hazelmeldrum5860]

In your pan cupboard consider fitting a shelve about 7 inches from the top the height of your frying pan ,then you can slip it in and out easily

[@ShortStef]

🏠. I have the same shoe storage boxes. And I use them to store my flat sandals by colors. And then the extras I have sweatpant sets in- so I don’t have to fumble to find the color I want and the matching top. They are already together!!!

[@joannecarnevale7737]

🏠 I have those stacking shoe boxes, too. Indeed, they're tricky to assemble, but so worth it.

[@jennyjenkins877]

Haha the infomercial reference is so good!

[@bbellebe]

Thank you 😍 great tips! The more I focus on decluttering the more I appreciate what I have 😃 and also discover 🎁 many things I forgot about.🏠

[@AMY-ml7yc]

This video came at such a great time lol I’m working on getting more organized (and decluttering). Do you mind sharing which plastic containers you recommend for under the bed storage? I don’t want bugs getting in either.

[@elisabeth2223]

Love your sense of humor 🏠

[@grumblesmanga]

This was so helpful, especially with the shoe storage solution. My shoes are in their boxes but it totally makes sense to have a see through box so you do remember what you have lol

[@oksanamelnyk7588]

🏠 Thanks for these advices! Actually, I already use some of them. I use small cardboard boxes to create order in the drawers

[@sashalexia]

“It’s amazing! Wow!” ❤😂🏡

[@mschunkymonkey1334]

Thank you so much for posting! I love your channel! ❤

[@arizonashopper5095]

I got a big box of hangers off the local Buy Nothing group from someone who was switching to velvet hangers. You def don't have to buy anything to get this done. I prefer the thin coated wire hangers, but hey, free trumps preferences.

[@greenfoodcrush2602]

Love your ideas and calm voice :)

[@destintides9223]

Love your jeans. Do you mind sharing the brand and style of these? They look great on you!

[@Secretgardenvintageapartment]

Wow. Seeing the pictures of the hangers side by side. I always walk into my closet feeling like that is always an eye sore but I didn’t really understand the space I was wasting w the plastic ones and it doesn’t as look put together.

[@teaisfortania]

🏠 love it! I need to consider how to use the tray idea for my beverage nook, which looks SO cluttered with my sodastream, tea pot and kettle, teas, coffee grinder and french press... Oh yeah and syrups 😂

[@kgsherwood7950]

[@acminkus]

🏠 cool. I use a lot of these hacks as well. Organized is a nice space to be in…

[@lindamirarchi8535]

No I use a combination the velvets are too flimsy for heavier items coats jackets and do not fill the shoulders and break.

[@eggnukes]

Vertical storage is nice, but I intentionally chose to have all wall units small and accessible without needing something to step on in the kitchen. There really shouldn't be any items in your kitchen so far out of reach. However, I am utilizing most of vertical space in the living room because I can store all the powertools (living in a house with a garden but no heated shed) there - I will not be using the circular saw often, but I don't want to donate/sell it. Obviously this depends on the space - if you have more, you have the luxury of having some empty walls.

[@SandraParker-sn8wo]
