Organize Small Living Spaces In A Trailer Home

Storage and organization


It can be difficult living in a trailer home when you have a lot of things because of the tendency for the home to become cluttered. You may even keep a tidy home but still never achieve a clean feeling because you have so much clutter lying around and not enough space. There are ways to cut down on clutter and make your items more manageable. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Get rid of everything that you do not absolutely need. You must learn live simply and not be a hoarder when you live in a trailer home or small house. A lot of people have a problem getting rid of items that they believe they may need in the future. But if you are not using an item now and it can be replaced, get rid of it. You can hold a garage sale or even donate the items.


2. Install shelving in closets to keep towels and clothing neat and organized. Local home improvement stores will have the necessary materials, and they are typically inexpensive. You can do this on your own, and you need only a few basic tools to get the job done. This will help you keep your bedroom and bathroom closets neat.


3. Use over-the-door hangers to free up more space in your rooms. You can get shoe organizers and mirrors to hang over a door to keep your things even more organized. These can also be found in your local home improvement store and require little or no assembly.


4. Purchase plastic containers with lids to fit beneath your bed. This will allow you to keep items that you may use only a couple of times a year tucked neatly out of sight. Some good things to store under the bed in plastic containers would be wrapping paper and holiday decorations.


5. Use wire baskets to organize food and pantry items in the kitchen. You can neatly store a large number of items in the baskets, and they can easily be pulled out when you need something. You're also less likely to forget about a can of beans that was in the back of a cupboard, as you will be pulling out the baskets more often and will be able to see all the stored items.
