Buy furniture that rhymes with the shape of the room
Quite often there are a lot of spaces that are wasted because room shape hasn't been considered before buying the seats, table and such like. Buy furniture that ensures a corresponding portion of the living room is fully utilized. Part of the extra space created can be used to put a rack to keep books, movies, games and magazines that always litter the living space. Also, consider buying multifunctional furniture, for example, a daybed instead of a couch.

Enhance bathroom space
Space is of the essence and at a premium in the bathroom. Always be decisive and firm about getting rid of items that you don’t use or need. Toss into the garbage bin all equipment and toiletries that you rarely use. Limit yourself to only the essentials in your drug cabinet. Believe us; you can live and survive without that fourth bottle of similar nail polish remover. Besides, have you ever wondered what you're doing with an empty shampoo bottle in your bathroom? Maximize the valuable limited space on your vanity by embracing utilitarian storage containers. Shop out for one that can hold toiletries like lotion and hand soap as well as multiple toothbrushes, mouthwash and toothpaste. You can also hang a beautiful wire basket on the side of vanity to nicely hold a hair dryer and other useful gadgets.

Tidy up your bedroom
There is just too much-wasted space in the bedroom. The biggest secret to enhancing bedroom area and subsequently organizing it is by ensuring that your bed is made every day and every time. If you develop a habit of keeping your bed neat every day, then you’ll most likely develop the same habit on the rest of the room. That pile of dirty clothes in the corner will cease to exist thus creating more space for other valuable items.

Before getting out of your bedroom, also, work on your closet. Even if you're well organized, your closet will quite often tell an entirely different story. OK, try this simple trick, Hang all the clothes in your closet from back-to-front. Afterward, return any clothing you wear into the closet and turn the hanger around. After a couple of weeks consider tossing what you haven't worn to create the much-needed space. Also, consider storing the less frequently used items under the bed to create more bedroom space.

Keep it together in the kitchen
This may sound like a no-brainer, but naturally similar kitchen items should be kept together and closer to where they’re used. Keep cooking utensils like pans and pots near the stove. This help saves space, tidy up the place and gives easy access to them while cooking. Make proper use of shelf top by keeping items that are rarely used. Also, there’s a strong tendency of clogging up the kitchen unknowingly with things like pocket change, mail, shoes and keys. Send me the pocket change and impose a rule of clearing the kitchen of these items before dinner is served.
