How to select the perfect area rug for your home    

by Blair Lewis

There is no greater time to get organized than right before a season change, and now that August is here, fall is quickly approaching, which means it is time to get your home in order.  Once fall hits, a series of holidays tends to take up most of your time, leaving little time to organize your home, so the time is now! If you cringe at the idea of organizing, cringe no more because here are a few ways to prevent organizing your home from becoming overwhelming and tedious.  You will be amazed how easy it is to organize your home and keep it that way over time with these helpful tricks.  

Reasons to get organized

If clutter does not bother you, then you might be wondering why you even need to bother organizing.  Home organization is important for several reasons, and one big reason is to save you money by preventing you from spending money on unneeded items.  The House Mix Blog also suggests that keeping your home organized can help make your everyday life simpler and more peaceful as well as help you use available space to its full potential.  Even if you think clutter does not bother you, you will be surprised how much better you feel when your home is clutter free.  If these reasons are not enough to convince you to organize your home, think of how much easier it will be for you to find items you need if everything has a

designated place where it belongs.  Desire to be organized in order to live a more convenient life.  

Where to start

Organizing becomes overwhelming when you try to organize your entire house all at once.  Instead, take it one room at a time when you have the time. This makes it a project rather than a chore.  Create a game plan so you know which rooms to start with, which organization tools you need, and what time frame you are working with.  After your plan is set, it is time to get rid of unnecessary clutter.  Everything you own should have a permanent place to be put away.  When you are shopping for organization tools, you should be able to visualize how you will use each tool and where it will go before

you purchase it so you do not end up creating more clutter instead of getting organized.  

How to stay organized

Once each room in your home is organized, make sure you show your family where items go so when it is time to clean up messes, everyone knows where everything goes.  When a home is organized, and everything has a place, it makes cleaning much easier for everyone in the home, especially kids.  If you have young kids, use kid-friendly organization tools so it is fun for them to put things away.
