Cluttered home? Help yourself out by using the right accessories

Keeping the house clean and tidy is a continuous job, and you don't always have the time or the strength to do it impeccably. However, it is also true that sometimes we complicate things for ourselves because we don't use the most efficient way to store objects: in fact, this is the main cause of messes happening.

Inside the kitchen or bedroom units, on work surfaces such as desks and in many other corners of the house, disorder seems to generate itself spontaneously. Therefore, it is best to have a tidying-up strategy.

Bags to use for rubbish bins, or even shopping bags: instead of crumpling them up and tossing them inside some drawer, or inside another bag, it is better to use a bag dispenser. These dispensers take up very little space, and are usually mounted on a wall.

And if we need an organic waste bag for when we cook, then place a special hook inside the door of a kitchen unit near the work surface.

Hangers, and more: there are some garments, such as trousers and scarves which we often fold up and then stack inside wardrobes. It might be useful, therefore, to invest in some hangers (or trouser rack) that can hold more than one at a time.

Stacks of papers and documents on a desk is a common sight. Maybe having a functional and beautiful document holder will be useful!

Food containers are indispensable in the kitchen, but it's a pain find place for them. However, by separating them from their lids, and inserting the latter into a dedicated box, things become much easier.

In wardrobes that have large spaces inside but no shelves or rails, there is a lot of wasted space. Use this space better by putting large storage baskets and bags into them (and which can also be folded and stored when not in use).

Under the kitchen sink we can also make more space. And you can also save time by finding a storage box that is designed specifically for this use in the kitchen!

Inside drawers we can use boxes, cardboard cutouts, baskets and much more. If you don't know what the best solution is, then expandable dividers will be your best choice for creating useful compartments.

However, when it comes to clothing, especially intimates and fashion accessories, using baskets is the best solution!
