Make sure you have a fixed place for everything
Create permanent storage spaces
Giving everything a fixed place is the trick to keeping your living room tidy. That way you always know where your things belong and tidying up is a piece of cake. Whether it's books, remote controls or blankets: giving everything a fixed place makes life easier.
Use storage boxes and baskets
Storage boxes and baskets are lifesavers. They keep things like remote controls, magazines or toys neatly stored. This way, nothing is lying around and your living room always looks organised. Bonus points for beautiful, stylish baskets that match your interior!
Provide sufficient storage space
Not enough space to store everything? Add extra cabinets, drawers or shelves. Not only handy for your stuff, but it also gives your living room a neat, organized look. Win-win!
Make cleaning easier with the right cleaning products
Vacuum regularly
Dust and dirt can make your living room look messy. Regular vacuuming will keep your floor clean and your living room looking tidy. A good vacuum cleaner is your best friend!
Use handy cleaning wipes
Microfiber cloths such as the iZi-Clean Miracle Wipes are perfect for quick cleaning. These cloths are ideal for daily wiping of tables and cabinets without losing much time.
Clean the floor quickly with a mop set
Do you have pets or children that cause extra dirt? A mop set like the iZi-Clean Turbo Twin Mop Set or izi-click mop helps you to keep the floor clean easily and quickly. Handy and time-saving!
Minimize the number of items in the living room
Decluttering
Decluttering is key. Ask yourself: do I really use this? Often there are a lot of things lying around that you no longer use. By regularly getting rid of things, you prevent clutter from piling up. You will be amazed at how much peace it gives you!
Only keep what you really use
Focus on items that you use daily or weekly. Unnecessary items will quickly make your living room look cluttered. Keep only items that are practical or decorative. The rest you can store or throw away.
Make use of the 'de-clutter box'
Are you unsure about certain items? Set up a 'declutter box'. Put everything you are unsure about in there, and look at it again after a few weeks. If you haven't missed it, feel free to throw it away. This way you can get rid of unnecessary clutter without regret.
Keep surfaces free of clutter
Clean the surfaces daily
Coffee tables, side tables and cabinets can quickly become cluttered. Make sure you clean the surfaces daily and keep them free of items that don’t belong there. This will give an instant tidy effect and keep your living room neat.
Limit the number of decorations
Decorations create atmosphere, but too much stuff can make your living room cluttered. Choose a few beautiful items that you really like, and avoid overcrowded tables or shelves. Less is more!
Use storage space for small items
Small items like pens, chargers and keys can quickly get scattered around. Use baskets or drawers to neatly store these items and keep them out of sight. This will keep everything organised and tidy.
Use smart storage solutions
Multifunctional furniture
Furniture with storage space is ideal! Think of a coffee table with drawers or a bench with storage space underneath. This way you have everything within reach without it being in the way.
Open versus closed storage space
Open shelves are great for decorations, but they can get cluttered quickly. Keep a balance between open and closed storage. Closed cabinets and drawers are great for keeping things out of sight.
Use baskets for quick cleanup
Baskets are not only beautiful, but also super handy! Are you short on time? Quickly throw some stuff in a basket when you have visitors. This way your living room will look neat in no time.
Create a daily tidying routine
Cleaning up at the end of the day
Make it a habit to quickly go through the living room at the end of the day and put everything back in its place. This only takes five minutes and ensures that your living room always stays tidy. No stress!
Tidy up things immediately
Instead of leaving things lying around, it is best to put them away immediately after you use them. This prevents clutter from piling up and keeps your living room tidy at all times.
Keep track of what often causes clutter
Identify the areas in your living room where clutter tends to accumulate, such as the countertop, coffee table, or side tables. Knowing where clutter tends to accumulate will help you keep an eye on those areas and prevent them from filling up quickly.
Clean up any items lying around immediately
Put back things you have used
Make sure that you put used items, such as books, pillows or blankets, back in their proper place immediately. By adopting this habit, your living room will stay tidy without having to do major cleaning rounds.
Use a laundry basket
Do you have clothes, blankets or other fabrics lying around your living room? Make sure you have a laundry basket handy to quickly put them away.This prevents clothes from being left on the couch and contributes to a tidy appearance.
Make a pact with yourself to immediately tackle any items lying around
See something lying around that is out of place? Clean it up immediately. By doing this small action over and over again, you prevent small messes from turning into big chaos. Consistency is key!
