The kitchen is a one of the busiest areas in any home. Proper organization and storage solutions become extremely important to make it look its best. Here are some tips to use available cabinet space creatively.

Kid Friendly Living Room

Babies and toddlers spend a lot of time with the rest of the family. The living area is where parents usually watch their children while they are busy cooking, reading, watching TV, or just relaxing. As a result, living rooms can get cluttered with toys, crayons, books etc. In order to keep it from getting messy with colors, spills, or little toys, try to include a kids’ activity center depending on the layout of your living area.  Here is an example.

Make A Command Center

A command center that uses a wall space as shown in the picture saves space. You could have a calendar with all the events marked on it and also important phone numbers, family schedules, quotes. Be as creative as possible using it like a bulletin board.

Bedroom

A bedroom is not only a peaceful retreat but also a room where most of us organize our clothes, medicines, makeup, and many other household items.

First and foremost, a bedroom usually is a cozy bed-time reading place for most people. It just makes sense to have a little book shelf with your favorite books next to the bed. This will avoid clutter on the side tables and the bed.

If side tables aren’t serving any purpose, try to replace them with tables that have shelves. This will help you store necessities like magazines or extra blankets within your reach.
