Of course we would be happy to come by and offer a free consultation if you happen to be looking for a Realtor in St Johns Florida.

Organizing Your Home Better and Faster

Here is a carefully-curated list of ways you can organize your home better and faster, prepared by our team of St Johns realtors. 

1. Take one room at a time. 

It is easy to get overwhelmed when trying to organize your entire St Johns homes for sale, especially if you have not done that in a long time.  The best way to avoid this is to go about it gradually. Instead of pulling the entire contents of your home out at once, focus on one area for a start, complete it, and move to the next. This will save you time and reduce the stress of the process. 

2. Start with decluttering. 

Jacksonville realtors often advise homeowners to start their reorganization process by decluttering the space. Once you have chosen that spot in your house to begin with, go through the content and sieve out the items you no longer need. You want to ensure you are reorganizing only the essential components of your home rather than the entire bunch. As a rule of thumb, anything you have not used in the last two years should go out. 

3. Take inventory. 

Assess the remaining items with the old and unimportant things out of the way. The goal is to determine what you have and where best to put them. This is where you decide if the current location of an item is right or if you can find somewhere better. For example, your old notes are better off in your study or attic than at your bedside. Similarly, your mixer has no business in your closet when there is enough space in your kitchen. 

4. Maximize existing space. 

Do not be quick to create new space in your home to put things. In most cases, you can maximize the existing space by going up. For example, adding a few lines to your shelves can help to maximize the vertical space. You can now store things, especially those you hardly need, in the higher spaces. 

5. Create more space. 

Some situations warrant creating more spaces in your Ponte Vedra Beach homes for sale. You can achieve this by converting any wasted space into functional space. For example, underneath your beds and above your doors are excellent real estate spaces in your Ponte Verda homes for sale.  We tend to overlook them, but they can house more items. 

6. Keep everything flexible, visible, and accessible. 

The primary goals of reorganizing your space are flexibility, accessibility, and visibility. Your everyday items must be placed in areas where you can see them easily and pick them out when the need arises. The things you hardly use can go into places like higher shelves where you can easily see and access them when the time comes. 

7. Keep it organized. 

More than organizing your home, you must find practical ways to keep it organized. That is why you must create basic and easy-to-use organizational systems. Ensure things go back to where they came from once you are done using them. Do not postpone or place them in a makeshift spot. Doing these will only clutter your Oceanfront homes in St Johns, FL, for sale.
