Declutter to sell your home

Are you planning to sell your house? Professional Organizer Houston will declutter your house.

In real estate, buyers buy space. The more space you're able to show, whether it be living or storage space, the more you'll be able to sell for. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. Most people are pack rats. Rooms have too much furniture and you'll find stuff overflowing in every nook and cranny. There's little space for walking sometimes, much less for living.

De-cluttering is the process of reclaiming the space in your house from years of collecting and storing. Don't expect the buyers to ignore all this and imagine your house in its clutter-free state. Buyers sometimes see dozens of houses in one day and their brains are overtaxed. 

De-clutter so the buyers can see your house, not your mess.

Organize your kitchen

Professional Organizer Houston can help to organize your kitchen, and make your family life flow more smoothly when it comes to meal preparation.

The kitchen is an area of your home that gets used more often than most other areas. So it stands to reason that if your kitchen were more organized and simple to use, your life would feel easier.

Organize Appliances
Frequently used small appliances, such as a toaster and coffeemaker, should be stored on the counter; ones seldom needed on a lower cabinet. Install a drawer onto a deep lower shelf for appliances used occasionally, such as a rice cooker and blender.

Keep Like With Like

Store all bakeware in the same cupboard, all wooden spoons in the same ceramic crock, all spices in the same drawer.

 























Store Smart
Store your most frequently used items in the most accessible places. Keep things you use most often at eye level; store heavy items below waist level; and infrequently-used items on high shelves or in another area of the house.

De-clutter Yearly

Take an inventory of all utensils, cookware, and dishware and get rid of unnecessary duplicates, items damaged beyond repair, or things no longer used.

Use See-Through Bins

Keep small kitchen items in containers -- see-through bins if possible -- with neat, easy-to-read labels.

Use Dollar Tree store finds

Basic containers become way more adorable when you add teal labels on the front. Even better: They'll create a cohesive style for a space that's usually an abyss of neutral colors and Campbell Soup Company labels.

These storage baskets are perfect for organizing your home, business, classroom, or day care center. The convenient handles make them great for storing food or spices in your fridge or pantry, or as easy-access baskets for your little ones in their playroom

Invest in pretty containers

The easiest way to keep your pantry tidy? Buy some pretty containers and labels that make you want to keep your space in order.

Organize your bake ware dishes

Instead of stacking heavy baking dishes on top of each other, stack them vertically or horizontally with the help of narrow wire organizers usually found in offices.

Organizing a Teen's Bedroom

Do you have a teenager's room full of clutter and want to get organized? Contact European Professional Organizer Houston

My clients are ready to de-clutter but many begin to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and defeated around the idea of decluttering  their teenager's  room.  If you have a teenager, you know it can often be a challenge for them to keep their bedroom clean and organized!  I hear "I've TRIED to tackle this mess a hundred times!! But I just end up frustrated beyond belief!"  
Teenagers often struggle with balancing social life, studies and extracurricular activities. Add screen time, sleep deprivation and too much other stuff, and it is no wonder many students experience disorganization. 

Below are some tips and ideas that will help your teen get their bedroom organized and hopefully encourage them to keep it that way!

 How to help a teenager get organized:

1. Make the bed. This instantly makes the room look better and should be a daily habit.

2. Open the blinds or drapes to let the natural sunshine in so you can see what you are doing :)2.Take all of your dirty clothes and put them in your hamper or basket.
2. Hang up all of your clean clothes in your closet (Remember to hang most of your clothes up so you can always see the choices you have. You can organize them by color, style, or season).
3. Give away anything you don't need, want, etc. This "stuff" wastes a ton of space that you can use. Go through your clothes and get rid of anything that doesn't fit or that you haven't worn in the past few months. (Get rid of any worn-out clothes, move any items that are out of season to another storage area in your home and donate any gently used clothing your teen doesn't wear anymore to charity.)
-Do not leave trash around. Place a small trash can near your nightstand to keep tissues, receipts, and price tags from littering your dresser, bedside table, and other surfaces.
6. Hang your necklaces.  You don't need a fancy hanger to keep jewelry from tangling. All you need are colorful push pins to create a stylish (and easy!) organization station.

Owning fewer possessions: less to clean, less to organize, less stress, more money and energy for their greatest passions.

• Vacuum any rugs or carpets, or sweep the hardwood.

• Empty the garbage and recycle bins

Storage solutions

• Give your teen his or her own laundry basket for their room.

• If space allows, set up a desk for homework or other projects, and be sure to add a recycle bin underneath.

• Use under-the-bed storage for such items as extra bedding, clothes or keepsakes.

Fold and put away or hang up all clean clothes (Have your teen get into the habit of putting away clothes fresh from the laundry)
3.Pick up everything from the floor, including what's under the bed, desk, etc



4. Sort by categories. Get some containers, they can be from The Container store or just old  boxes you already have. Separate your stuff in the containers such as maybe one container for hair stuff,  one for pencils or one for photos.

• The key to a clean room is organization. Here are some ideas:
  • Give your teen his or her own laundry basket for their room.
  • If space allows, set up a desk for homework or other projects, and be sure to add a recycle bin underneath.
  • Use under-the-bed storage for such items as extra bedding, clothes or keepsakes.

Teenagers should also purge and organize their rooms once a month instead of once a year. It is amazing how quickly candy wrappers, crumpled papers, used tissues, old magazines and outgrown clothes can accumulate in a short period of time.

Providing your teenagers with the skills and tools to get organized is one of the most valuable gifts you can give your child.

Who better to help our teenager—and us—get organized than a professional organizer?
