Does your living room always feel like a wild jungle? No matter how often you tidy up, does everything seem to be in disarray within a week?
It’s time to find a lasting solution by creating designated spaces for everything and learning the tricks to keep it all in order.
Having enough space is crucial, but knowing how to use it effectively is just as important.
Sure, furniture with doors can hide the clutter inside, but there’s nothing more satisfying than opening a closet and finding everything neatly in its place.
When it comes to display cabinets, cupboards, or bookshelves, everything is out in the open—there’s no hiding the mess. This is where boxes and baskets come in handy for storing smaller items.
Plus, these boxes are perfect for holding books on shelves, making them an excellent pair for maintaining order in your living room.
Customized solutions or built-in furniture can maximize your space and create versatile storage options.
For instance, a bench with storage underneath is a fantastic way to utilize space effectively.
However, the absence of custom furniture shouldn’t be an excuse to let chaos reign.
You can easily place fiber or textile baskets under any bench, coffee table, or side table to make use of that valuable space and keep things tidy.
Then there are the tricks that enhance a sense of order, which aren’t necessarily linked to the capacity of the furniture itself.
These are often visual elements that influence our perception of neatness. This is what we call visual order.
What tricks are there to get
visual order?
- Keep surfaces clear of things
- Decorate with fewer large objects instead of many smaller details
- Play with symmetries or repetitions. Gives balance and sense of order
- Straight lines are more balanced and tidy
- Respect the passage areas
