10 Best Areas of a House to Organize

10 Best Areas of a House to Organize 

The best areas of a house to begin a home organizing project are typically those that are most cluttered or disorganized. Here are 10 areas that are often good places to start. 

  1. Kitchen: Kitchens are often a hub of activity in a home and can easily become cluttered with dishes, utensils, and food. Organizing the kitchen can help make cooking and meal prep more efficient, and can make it easier to find what you need when you need it. 
  2. Bedrooms: Bedrooms can become cluttered with clothes, shoes, and other personal items. Organizing the bedrooms can help you make better use of the space and can make it easier to relax in the space. 
  3. Living Room: The living room is often a place where people gather and can become cluttered with books, magazines, and other items. Organizing the living room can help create a more inviting and comfortable space for you and your guests. 
  4. Office or Workspace: Office or workspace can become cluttered with papers, files, and other items related to work or study. It can be hard to be productive in a cluttered and disorganized space, so organizing your office or workspace can help improve your productivity. 
  5. Garage: The garage can become a catch-all for items that don't fit in other areas of the house. Organizing the garage can help you make better use of the space and can also make it easier to find what you need when you need it. 
  6. Closets: Clothes, shoes, and other items in closets can become cramped and disorganized, making it hard to find what you need. 
  7. Pantry: food items and grocery can take up a lot of space, making pantry cluttered and hard to find what you need. 
  8. Laundry Room: Laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, and other household items can make laundry room cluttered and disorganized. 
  9. Basement or Attic: These areas can become storage areas for items that are not frequently used, making it hard to find what you need when you need it. 
  10. Entryway / Mudroom: Coats, shoes, bags, and other items can make entryways and mudrooms cluttered and disorganized. 

Keep in mind that these are just some general areas that are often in need of organization. The best area to start will depend on your personal priorities and the spaces in your home that are causing you the most stress or difficulty. 

Ultimately, the best area to start depends on your personal priorities and the spaces in your home that are causing you the most stress or difficulty. Start with the area that is most important to you or where you spend most of your time.
