We all want to love our homes, don’t we? And I do! On most days, I am so happy and grateful for my little white house.

But sometimes it is hard to feel good about my home, especially when it is a big mess. When there are no clear surfaces, when I have trouble closing my junk drawer, when stuff starts to fall out of my closet, then I become an irritable, grouchy, not-at-all fun person to live with.

I strongly believe in good old sayings like “for everything a place and everything in its place”, because I know that when the mess around me accumulates so does the stuffiness and moodiness in my head. To feel bright, happy, and energetic, and to have a clear head, it helps so much to have my surroundings in order, my house clean and organized, and the stuff around me in its place.

Declutter before you Organize

Just a friendly neighborhood reminder before we dive into creating lots of original and useful organizing solutions, it’s important to make sure we are not organizing our clutter. What’s trash is trash and needs to leave. What’s no longer useful, and no longer loved, can go. And be honest, we really don’t need duplicates of duplicates ‘just-in-case’, so let’s get rid of it.

I guess that’s why I go on a cleaning and organizing streak regularly. I am by no means a minimalist, and I do have my hoarding tendencies (especially in my craft room), but in general, I do not have a problem with throwing out what is no longer used or loved.

If you want some tips on how to get in the decluttering mood and to do it fast and efficiently, you will like my post on my five favorite ways to declutter and organize my home.

Well now that we are done decluttering and getting rid of the obvious mess in our homes. Let’s get to the fun part! I’ve gathered a lot of inspiration for organizing all the important rooms in your house. I have selected fun DIY organizing projects you can make yourself. A lot of them are straightforward and easy and can be finished in a couple of hours. There are also some projects for the more advanced DIY-er. And if upcycling and thrift store hunting is your thing you will be pleased to find some fun repurposed organizing projects too.

And my absolute favorite storage projects? Those that add some lovely touch to my home decor as well as being an organizing hack. You’ll find examples of those projects too.

DIY Hallway Organizing Projects

Your hallway or entryway is the first thing you see when you enter the house. It should be inviting, set the mood, and be a happy place. At the same time, hallways are usually also clutter magnets. It’s where the coats, hats, and shoes come off, where toys are lost and it’s where we need to store lots of stuff and at the same time most hallways aren’t that big and a lot of them do not have a lot of built-in storage space.

So let’s create some hallway organizing first.

Kitchen Organisation Ideas

The kitchen is certainly a high-traffic and hard-working room. It needs to hold a lot of tools, appliances, and kitchen utensils. Even if you are lucky to have a kitchen with lots of storage space in the form of cabinets, drawers, a lot of counter space, and a pantry, things can still get out of hand quickly. And if you have a small kitchen then you will need good storage ideas even more. Let me help you with some useful DIY kitchen organizing ideas.

Why is a one-purpose room like the bathroom always so messy? Maybe because we tend to use the bathroom when we are in a hurry.

Let’s no longer waste time searching for our makeup in the crevices of our vanity. Please enjoy these DIY bathroom organizing and storage solutions.
