Now that the holidays are done with, you can start to focus on the future. It’s important to reflect on the past so we can learn for the future. More succinctly, we have to think over which areas we overlooked and were found out during the holiday party this year so that next year dear Aunt Margaret will not have any ammo to throw at us.
Drawers are probably the most commonly overlooked home organization obstacles. That is why they are usually the first target for preying relatives. Sidestep disaster by getting drawer organizers to clean up that chaos. Cutlery trays are ideal for sorting silverware into neat sections, while knife drawer organizers will show everyone that you’re organized and safety-conscious. Junk drawer organizers are perfect for all those miscellaneous items such as paper clips, stamps, coins, rubber bands, coupons, change, pens and more. Junk drawer organizers come with lots of little compartments, so you can put each item into its own section, and avoid clutter and confusion in one go. Whatever your drawer disaster, kitchen drawer organizers are the first step in restoring order in your home, not to mention your pride.
Sinks are a different sort of embarrassment, but no less poignant. Tip out trays can help avoid the inevitable sideways glances from a slimy sponge or one that is just plain nowhere to be found. Tip out trays discreetly hide behind the cabinet front and tip out when needed. Not only will your sponge be easy to find at all times, but it will also have a place to hang out besides for under a pile of dishes. The next time someone offers to do the dishes, watch their face as you whip out one of these tip out trays.
Dish storage is also important because a stack of dishes, even clean ones, feels like clutter. Have a large dish rack that will hold all of your dishes, or at least most of them, and try to make space for it somewhere out of the way.
Closets have a tendency to overrun themselves, despite your best efforts. That was before closet organizers came into your life. With individualized tasks for each style, closet organizers are tailor-made home organization made easy. For example, if you have a problem keeping your ties in order, a tie rack will be your savior. If you have a surplus of small random items such as socks, kids’ toys or art supplies, basket organizers can help. Shoes always running amuck? A shoe tree or shelf shoe racks can tuck neatly into your closet and help clear away the clutter. Hanging closet organizers can give you additional storage in a space that seems limited, as can stackable drawers. When everything has a place, it is so much easier to keep things there.
Bathrooms can easily earn you “ick” points, as well. An unprepared bathroom is a boon to any hostess, so be prepared. The best thing you can do for your bathroom is keep it well stocked. Make sure you have plenty of towels, toilet paper and soap on hand and ready for use. If you have to, bring in additional bathroom storage to contain the miscellaneous items you store in your bathroom and to give yourself additional space for all the extras you want to stock up on. If you can accomplish this, then, aside from a regular cleaning the day before, all you need is a quick five-minute clean up before guests arrive. Just take a baby wipe and wipe down sink and toilet surfaces.
If you can accomplish these organizational key points, you’ll see how different your next holiday party can be. Remember, though, that if someone wants to find fault, they always will. Just keep telling yourself that nobody’s perfect, but you are pretty close to it. Even Superman has to wash his cape sometime. And isn’t that just when the doorbell rings?
