Organising tips from The Home edit
1. Edit out your belongings
Every episode of The Home Edit starts with what the tidying duo call ‘The Edit’. Rather than thinking about it as simply chucking things out, the pair explain that it is about making space for the items you love. Let go of items you know longer need, use or are past their best.
2. Organise into categories
The next big stage in The Home Edit process – categories. Each item should be housed in a specific category so it is easy to find and put things away.
However, it is also an opportunity to highlight the things you love. For example if you love a statement necklace these will be a category on there own.
3. Pick storage solutions that work for you
Getting your storage solutions right is one of the most important steps in organising your space, and keeping it that way.
When choosing storage the pair always make sure it fits the category it is housing without overspill, and that you will use it. For example, if you know you won’t use things you can’t see, opt for clear storage.
4. Don’t be afraid to move shelves
When organising a pantry or wardrobe, don’t be afraid to move shelves and rails around to fit your belongings. This might mean a little DIY, but if it doubles the space in your wardrobe, we promise the effort is worth it.
5. Colour co-ordinate in a rainbow
Not only is organising by colour aesthetically pleasing, but it is also a very effective way of keeping your home in order. Once you have sorted your belongings into categories, arrange them further – by colour.
When it’s time to put something away, either a book or T-shirt, you will easily be able to see where it belongs.
