Reorganize Your Closets In 3 Easy Steps

If your closets are overflowing and you no longer have enough room to store your essentials, then it is time for an overhaul. While the task may initially sound daunting, it can be achieved with the three easy steps below.

Step 1 Pull Everything Out, Sorting As You Go

I know, the last thing you want to do is pile everything in your overflowing closet into the nearby room, but it is the only way to determine what is really in there. Remember, that things will get worse before they get better—and the larger the closet, the larger the mess. As you pull things out of your jam-packed closet, sort them into four relevant piles: Keep, Donate, Trash, and Sell. If you know you will have a lot in the “trash” pile, identify a garbage disposal specialist before you get started.
 
Step 2 Take Inventory

As you sort through your closet, you may find that not everything in the “keep” pile will be returned to this same closet. This means that you may need to create a secondary keep pile for items that you are keeping in the closet, and for items that need to be stored in a new location in your home.

Step 3 Reorganize

Once you see all that will be returning to the closet, including items that were not originally in the closet—you will need to rethink your method of organization. This will require you to make a few investments in organizational supplies designed to maximize space. With the right tools, you can more than double your space. A few organizational tools to consider include:

Dresser or plastic drawers
Item specific and/or space-saving hangers
Storage containers for photos, sweaters, shoes and more
Hooks
Additional shelves
Hanging closet organizers

The tips above will also work for organizing your attic, garage, and other storage areas. If you will be cleaning out a large closet, or multiple closets—consider a garbage bin rental from Core Mini Bins.

Is Your Hobby Taking Over Your Home?

Hobbies are one of our greatest joys in life. They are an outlet we turn to for inspiration and fun, and to break the monotony of everyday life. As much joy as your hobby might bring, the more you get into your hobby—the more it can take over your home. The tips below will help you to maintain a fully functioning home, without sacrificing your hobby.

Invest In The Right Organizational Tools

An excellent place to begin is to invest in the right organizational tools for your hobby. Every art, craft, or hobby has tools that are designed specifically to keep your tools and supplies neat and organized. In most cases, this will maximize your space and increase your efficiency.

Clean Out An Underutilized Space

If you have a guest bedroom or home office that you rarely use, clean it out and turn it into a hobby space. You can even keep a futon or convertible chair in the room for the occasional overnight guest. If you can’t give up one of your primary rooms, consider repurposing your attic, basement, work shed, or even a small section of your garage. If the excess will be more than your standard garbage disposable bin can handle—simply rent a mini bin.

Sort Your Hobby Items

When it comes to hobbies, especially arts and crafts, it is tempting to hold on to absolutely everything—because you might want or need it at some point down the road. However, there are sure to be a few items that you genuinely don’t need anymore. Sort through these to downsize, and donate items to someone who will enjoy them. For example, next time you invest in an upgraded tool—donate your older tool to a local GTA non-profit.

The tips above will help you to keep your current hobby’s organized in your home. If you have an abandoned hobby, donate what you can and rent a garbage disposal bin from Core Mini Bins to remove the rest.
