When you search the internet, you will find hundreds of different articles advising you about how you can organize your life and home with just a few labels. However, these tips are not so successful for homeschooling parents who have their children at home 24/7. But there are three principles that are actually successful in conquering clutter and pursuing beauty in your house. These include:
Be a minimalist:
The less you own the less you have to organize. Ask yourself, which is the best way to simplify your house? And then make sure you rule out the rest. For example, if your child’s drawers are cramped with clothes, they will never be able to keep their drawer neat. Therefore, remove the outfits that are not needed. They will only require a week's worth of clothes in their drawers. The extra ones can be stored in the storage or simply donated.
Create themes when organizing
It is always a good idea to create positive themes around the house to direct your prayers, thinking, and creativity and turning them into reality. The theme you choose must feel satisfying and whole. Also, since you will have children around, it is best to keep it simple, especially for high traffic areas such as, the living room, kitchen, etc.
You can also create color themes for your children’s bedrooms to add some zing.
Pack what’s not needed:
In case you are a family that eats out most of the time, then you can easily put all the big pots and pans inside storage. If you only sew once every month, you can keep your supplies in the closet. However, in case you sew every day, you should make sure your supplies are handy. If experimenting is part of your homeschooling, then the extra bathroom can act as your personal family lab.
Follow this golden rule when deciding where to store a certain thing:
- Will you use the item often?
