These rules are simple and practical. Organizing Your Space Is Easier Than You Think
Ever been to a luxurious home and wondered how the residents keep it that way?
Japanese organizational and minimalist maven Marie Kondo may have gained worldwide fame with her first book, life changing magic of cleaning, and encouraged everyone to try their KonMari method for keeping homes clean and sparkling happiness, but there’s an easier way to go about things! This involves making cleaning a part of the everyday rather than devoting specific hours or days to not getting away from these tasks.
People are the same all over the world; It is just their habits that keep their house clean and free of clutter. Give them a try, and you’ll see.

they take off the shoes at the door
The most hygienic of them all is to break the age-old Indian habit of taking off the shoes before entering the house. No dirt tracking, no mud falling. A shoe rack near the door ensures that you put the shoes in their place sooner rather than later.
they don’t throw their clothes everywhere
Sure, it’s your own room, but tossing your clothes on the chair every time you change turns into a mountain of clothes. Why not hang them in the air or fold them? A set of hooks on the back of bedroom and bathroom doors make things easy to stow away.

They don’t look for extra storage space
Instead of buying new racks or baskets, we suggest you look for ways to downsize the things in your home. The less you have, the less clutter there will be. Edit, edit, edit ruthlessly until you only have what you need and use; Not things that are labeled “someday”.
They edit their repertoire with constant regularity.
All designers worth their salt know that creating is often the best way to make the most of a room or space. Hence the advice to purify what is not visible. A minimalist look often does more for your spaces than a stuffed-to-the-gills setting.

they don’t have a special cleaning day
People whose house is always clean, they are doing small cleaning work on the go. As you move, put things in their place, wipe down a drawer if empty or arrange a bathroom shelf while you brush.
They Never Neglect the Kitchen Sink
This is where you clean your dishes, so shouldn’t you just make sure the sink is clean? Spray an antibacterial solution (Dettol will also do) every night and scrub until the steel shines. Don’t forget the tap.

They see how to add value to their rooms
It could be a small bud vase on the entryway table or a floor lamp in the corner that’s going blank—a small touch can make a huge difference. Personal touches like books, photos and souvenirs work better than store-bought props.
They organize their kitchen for maximum efficiency
Be it tapping the kitchen triangle or placing their condiments/condiments, properly organizing a kitchen is an art. Which is well known to those who lead a clutter-free life. Organize your kitchen so you know where everything is and you can have on hand that jar you need even in your sleep. It won’t be easy, but it will make life so much easier.
They don’t wait for Diwali to clean the house
If you don’t clean up in small installments, clutter piles up into a monumental existence—one that overwhelms you. Simple daily chores take care of cleanliness. And it makes sure you don’t have to wait for the festival of lights to arrive at the end of next year.
