First of all, in fact, it is good to have separate rooms such as the laundry room or the closet, to have enough space to store everything you need and to give each type of object its place.To have an organized home, in fact, you don’t need to spend a lot of time to tidy up, rather it is preferable to always have the situation under control , choose a fixed moment of the day in which to take care of the cleaning and make every corner functional.
But let’s see together which are the best solutions to avoid having to chase after objects out of place or dust that settles everywhere. What furniture to choose to have an organized home
The clutter in the house could be due to the fact that there is not enough furniture to store all the objects we need in our daily life.
In this case, the first thing to do is healthy decluttering, that is the analysis of everything that is in our wardrobes, sideboards and closets to understand if it is still useful or if we can throw it away, give it away or sell it.
Once we have dedicated the right time to this activity, our home will be free of useless objects and we will be able to choose the right furniture and shelves to store everything in a functional and orderly way.
In the bedroom, for example, the container bed is the right solution for blankets and sheets that we don’t use . You can choose the classic sommier beds, more compact, saving space, or opt for a bed with a headboard, much more appreciated by those who love comfort.
To hang bags, jackets but also scarves and hats that often remain outside the wardrobe, however, a column hanger or knobs to be fixed to the wall is recommended. In this way we will always have everything at hand without leaving anything in plain sight, perhaps on chairs and sofas.
A room where clutter often accumulates and the bathroom : we sometimes use it in a hurry, leaving bottles and other objects that do not have the right place out of place. In this case, providing many shelves and matching boxes , in raffia or plastic, according to the style of the bathroom, could be an excellent solution for tidying up quickly and without too much effort.
And in the kitchen
Green light to everyday objects placed in plain sight on the kitchen counter, especially if this is large enough. Glass containers for pasta, metal hooks for ladles, wooden blocks for knives will make the kitchen more lively and help to have a well-organized home. The materials that help keep the house clean
Keeping the house clean is another fundamental point to be able to enjoy every space to the fullest.
Obviously the furniture also has a great influence on the cleaning of the house which can become simpler or more difficult depending on the choices we make both as regards the arrangement and as regards the material of the furniture.
Smooth surfaces are the easiest to clean, thereforegreen light for laminate or lacquered furniture, especially if light -colored , easy to clean with a cloth without too much effort. Dark colors could attract more dust, so beware: if we love this type of shade we should prepare to clean more frequently. Solid and beautiful wood , solid and valuable furniture are essential to create a classy furniture, but it must be kept in mind that they must be treated with great care , using waxes and ad hoc products. The raw wood, then, can represent a real obstacle to keep the house clean.
Furthermore, wherever possible, it is always preferable to choose furniture raised above the floor, so that it is easier to clean underneath without having to move them. In the kitchen, the easiest to clean materials are metal , perfect for hobs, but also porcelain stoneware which, in addition to being easy to handle, is also particularly resistant and, therefore, less prone to unsightly scratches. As for upholstered sofas or beds, certainly the easiest material to treat is eco-leather : if you choose a resistant one in a not too light color you will be surprised at how easy it will be to keep it clean.
Alternatively, for lovers of fabric covers, it is better to choose seats that are removable and can be easily washed in the washing machine. How to clean porcelain stoneware and other surfacesCleaning and sanitizing floors and walls every day is essential for having an organized, clean and safe home . To facilitate this operation, the ideal is to choose resistant materials that are easy to clean.
For kitchen and bathroom floors and walls, for example, porcelain stoneware is ideal: this material is very versatile, resistant and practical for this reason it adapts to many situations. For example, opaque porcelain stoneware is perfect for the floor of a large house decorated in an industrial style, and must be treated with a cloth to remove dust and a non-invasive detergent, which does not damage the surface .
If, on the other hand, you want to find outhow to clean polished porcelain stoneware keep in mind that the ideal is a neutral detergent. Wood-effect porcelain stoneware can also be polished with special products to make it always shiny.
If you have chosen other materials for your home, it is important to know which are the best solutions to keep them clean without damaging them.
One of the most beautiful but also delicate floors is certainly the parquet which, however, can be easily kept in good condition with a careful periodic cleaning that also includes the appropriate wax to be applied in sufficient quantity to make it shine and cover the slightest damage but without exaggerating to avoid the risk of slipping. The importance of the laundry area
In addition to all the tricks we have just seen, it is ideal for having an organized home and having service rooms that are practical and functional.
The main one is certainly the laundry area which can be organized in a fairly large bathroom or in a real dedicated room. The essential characteristics of a laundry area are certainly :
- Isolation from the rest of the house so that washing machines and dryers can be used at any time of the day
- Ease of management and cleaning thanks to specially designed furniture, appliances and materials
- Sufficient and well-organized space for storing dirty clothes, clothes to dry and, possibly, the corner for ironing
To organize an essential laundry area, 3 square meters are enough , just the right amount to accommodate stacked washing machines and dryers, a sink and a large drying rack, if you have a larger size available, you can also set up a space for ironing. Whether the laundry area is autonomous or organized inside the bathroom, the important thing is that there is a window through which to ventilate the room and let the steam that inevitably forms out. The laundry area will allow you to manage the washing and drying of clothes without clutter in the rest of the house but it will have to be organized in turn to be kept clean and tidy easily.
Go ahead, therefore, tospacious cabinets in which to store detergents and various utensils, preferably raised from the ground so as to be able to comfortably pass vacuum cleaners and scrubbers.
The sink must be large enough and comfortable for hand washing and preferably ceramic to be easily cleaned.
As for floors and walls, the ideal is that they are resistant and with clear and shiny surfaces so that excessive traces of dirt are not deposited.
Finally, to drain the water that could accumulate on the floor, it is better to arrange a sloping drain in the center of the room.
