Home + Sort Top 5 Tips for An Organized 2022

5 Easy Steps to an Organized New Year

The New Year is the perfect time for fresh starts and new habits, like organizing your living space. At mDesign, we’ve teamed up with Brandie and Ryan of the Home + Sort to give you solutions for your home organization resolutions. Professional organizers (and sisters!), Brandie and Ryan have collaborated with our team to create a collection of products that’ll help you control your space and order your life in 2022.

Here are the Home + Sort’s top 5 tips for an organized New Year:

1. Edit what you have. Do a strong purge of the items in your space to be sure that what you have are things you actually need, want + use.
   
   

   Getting rid of things you don’t need or use not only makes your living space more enjoyable, according to Psychology Today, it can also help reduce anxiety and stress.



2. Be realistic about your space. As you prepare to organize, plan for the space you have, NOT the giant space you wish you had!
   
   

   After an accurate assessment of your kitchen area, try these products—they’re designed to maximize typically underutilized spaces.
   

   These Small Metal Kitchen Cabinet Pantry Storage Shelving Units create additional space in cabinets and cupboards, allowing you to stack cups, glassware, and coffee cups on top of the shelf while storing dinner dishes and serving bowls underneath.
   
   
   

   These Stackable Plastic Pantry Storage Organizer Drawers provide instant storage, giving you the flexibility to stack and make the most of space inside cabinets, on shelves, or on countertops.



3. Pick your look. Most spaces need product, so pick the look that you like. Do you prefer clean and clear? Or would you like color and texture?
   
   

   Nature-inspired décor is definitely on-trend for 2022 and bamboo accents are a great way to get that look. Bamboo is versatile, durable, and eco-friendly, so these Bamboo Organizers and Storage Bins from the Home + Sort Collection are as stylish as they are sturdy.
   
   
   

   If sleek and chic is more your style, the Home + Sort Collection includes clear solutions for reaching your organization goals. The collection’s 2 Tier Lazy Susan and Stackable Plastic Countertop Storage Organizers are made of tough, shatter-resistant plastic that lets you see what you’ve stored and access it easily.



4. Measure. Don’t hop online to shop just yet! Measure your space and pick products that fit just right.
   
   

   Once you know the size of the space you’re working with, try the Home + Sort Collection’s expandable organizers, like the 4 Compartment Expandable Plastic Kitchen Drawer Cutlery Tray, for a customizable storage solution that meets your specific needs.





5. Pick a date + make it a party. Organizing can be a lot of work and overwhelming. To avoid quitting halfway through, invite some friends or family to help. Many hands really do make light work!
   
   

   Making organization a family activity gives each member a vested interest in maintaining a clutter-free home and holding each other accountable for putting things in their proper place. Also, try hosting a shop-your-closet party with friends; it’s easy — just clean out your closets, do a clothes swap with friends, and donate what’s left to charity.

Hope 2022 is just the start of a happier, healthier, more organized you!
