As you step into this new season—back to school, seasonal outerwear, our little ones spending more time indoors—a touch of organization could be just the thing to brighten your day.
Implementing a few easy (and decorative!) practices really kick starts things, helping you feel ahead of the game and ready to tackle whatever comes next. Here are a few of my favorite design tips to help create a wonderfully organized school year for the whole family!
Small But Mighty Solutions
Practical and beautiful: decorative trays, jars, baskets and bins work wonders in disguising clutter. Choosing a few stylish storage items in your kitchen, entry, living spaces or bath counters keeps things neat and tidy— think marble, leather, glass or wicker to add texture and visual interest to your spaces.
Tucked Away
In my opinion, the more drawers, the better—especially in entryways and kids' bedrooms. Label drawers to keep things organized while still having everything easily accessible. Many modern furniture pieces feature built-in charging drawers, or you can easily install your own to any drawer to keep cords or devices out of sight when not in use.
Versatility
Multi-functional pieces are a fantastic blend of chic and practical. A plush pouf serves as both a cozy seat and a hidden storage bin. And a sleek leather ottoman is both a stylish coffee table and a storage unit. The possibilities are endless!
The key tip to remember for effortless organization is to ensure that everything has its own designated spot. If it takes just a minute to put something away, seize that minute now! I find that a lot of my clients are stuck in a mindset of where they think things should go, when in reality, we need to understand what truly works for us and our families and wholeheartedly embrace those aspects.
