there seems to be lot of things i need organized or put into right place. i am not that contented with the ways things are arranged. i wish i have the right to decide where should be kept or placed. so that i can arranged things here better. so when looking for thing it can easily be seen and things would be more beautiful in the sight. specially when there are some people visiting our home we won't make an impression that we are not neat people.

we have the same feeling. the feeling that no matter how hard i try to organize everything, it just feels like its not organized. but i learned this technique from my mom, to stuff all the similar items and put it in a white or transparent box so that you'll find it easy to grab items you are looking for. hope this helps!

good day hotsummer, it seems that your topic is almost the same what i have in mind. here in our home, no matter how i kept things on the right place, the other members of my family does not value what i am doing. that, after they used those things, they are not putting it back where it has been placed. so, i don't know what to do with them, i am tired of arranging it again and again.

Many people are experiencing this including me. I have read somewhere about the law of entropy and that it mentioned, why no matter how we keep things organized they can still get disorganized. We have many available types of organizers now for homes, to organize every items and to work as space savers too. Sometime we also need to let go and have our home disorganized for a short while because it is unavoidable, everyone seems to make some mess with any activity.

I also messy person. But once I tidy the house, I can make it clean. However, I am functional oriented rather than beauty oriented. I arrange most of the thing in a cabinet. It helps keep many small thing in one place. For esthetic sense, I rely on my wife feelings.

For being someone who considers themselves a well organized and clean person, I am CONSTANTLY fighting with a messy house. It seems that things just pile here or there and never seem to have a place. It's annoying and frustrating and sometimes I wish I had the "Monica Closet" from Friends. Actually I think if I lived alone, I would definitely have that closet. Keep the mess under lock and key and let all of my friends and family think I am the perfect house keeper :)

I think better implement the principle of 5S of good housekeeping. Hope this will help in organizing your house. Try to research on that, it will teach how you are going to arrange so that you will easily find the things you need.

i know myslef to be an unorganised person. i start the day with organizing everything , however by the evening it's all messed up again. My husband is much better in organistaion. something i tend to learn from him. I also feel at time perfection kills us. We go organizing to extreme borders and then also we are not happy

It is everyone's choice to have a completely tardy and neat house.Painting it newly to make it look good is an advantage making it more attractive.Piling stuffs and organizing it is important for easiness of ones work.Decorating with some ornaments like scented flowers,candles ,wall paintings could contribute for its embellishment furthermore daily cleaning is essential in order to maintain the orderliness of ones home.Yes it would be essential also that every person living in one's home should take part in cleaning it so that cleanliness and organization of abode could be maintain.

sometimes it all depends on the wall color. sometimes it wouldn't inspire you to decorate your home. you can also try to sell the furnitures or items that you don't like anymore, then the earnings will be used to buy new ones.
