5 Easy Ways to Organize Your Living Space

Not only does going vertical in your home clear up some counter space, expanding your storage to higher levels can make your home feel and look bigger!

• Use renter-friendly adhesive hooks to hang plants.
• Find tall stand alone shelves to store miscellaneous objects, incorporating taller (but not heavier) items near the top rows.

Find a home for those knick-knacks and important items that are cluttering up your counters. 

• Use a tray on your entryway table for keys, mail, and other things that keep your hands full.
• In your living room, use a tray on your coffee table for coasters and electronic devices, that way you'll never wonder where you put the remote again! 
• In the bedroom, use a tray on your dresser for jewelry, perfumes, and items still left in your jean pockets from throughout the day. 

Although we might not always have the luxury of curling up with a good book, try to show off your reading material with style instead of stacked up on your floor or desk. 

• Group your library by theme, color or size for a more cohesive look.
• Pair your book collection with other items and use them as risers for plants, photo frames or figurines.

The easiest way to make your space sing in harmony is to collect items that are similar in shade and display them together. 

• Pair bright color objects with warm neutrals to bring a cozier vibe to your home. 

In the right environment, opposites do attract. However, when it comes to interior decorating, it can appear as cluttered and unkempt. 

• Make similar items look like a collection and group them on the same shelf.
• Use the rule of three if working with different sized objects according to scale.

A simple step to cleaning up your clutter while not spending too much time on it is to stock up on storage bins and baskets to keep around the home. 

• Keep baskets under commonly underused spaces like coffee tables and on the bottom of bookshelves.
• Fold up and throw blankets in baskets when not in use.
• Keep an empty basket handy in each room for quick cleanups when unexpected company comes by!
