Decluttering the Catch-All Room

Sep 21, 2017 | Organization, Uncategorized

You know that room that used to be a child’s bedroom but now you barely recognize it? They left and it became a little of everything – guest bedroom, office, exercise room, craft area. With too many purposes, the room becomes a space that is not functional – a dumping ground where you stash things you don’t know what to do with. Follow these three steps to begin to enjoy this space again.

  • Define the space. How do you want to use this space? What is realistic? Once you have a purpose for the space, you can begin to make it a functional space.
  • Sort out the contents of the room. Donate or discard anything you no longer need. Put like items you are keeping together. Some items that no longer belong in this space can be stored elsewhere.
  • Organize the space. Decide where to store the items you are keeping in this room based on the purpose. Have an area for sleeping and one for an office or crafting. In spaces like the closet, purchase containers that will organize what you are storing and label the containers so that you can easily use the space.
