LIVE: 7 Areas to Organize For The Holidays
Friday, November 17, 2017
If you’re entertaining this holiday season, there are some areas in the home you’ll want to focus on getting organized. Kristin MacRae of Organizing in RI says tackle it now and you’ll never have to tear those spaces apart again.
Here are seven areas to declutter and organize:
- Entryway. MacRae says you’ll want the entryway to be aesthetically pleasing because it’s the first impression of your home.
- Guest bedrooms. Your guests don’t want to be surrounded by clutter as they sleep. MacRae says try making this room peaceful and serene with just essentials stored here.
- Sitting areas. Toss out piles of magazines, books with dust on them, unfinished projects, and clutter.
- Kitchen. Clean out and organize your fridge and freezer to make room and maximize space for your holiday items.
- Bathrooms. The guest bathroom will get some heavy traffic if you’re entertaining this season, so MacRae says re-organize and make sure you’re stocked with toiletries.
- Dining Room. If the dining room has become your home office, it’s time to declutter. If the dining room is a catch-all, MacRae says it’s time to find “a home” for those items.
- Clean out and organize your car.
