Lay all the items in front of you to see what you have. Separate them into piles of what you can keep, throw away, repurpose or donate – or even, what can be put elsewhere. Just don’t overstuff drawers with folded bulky items – file them folded instead. Avoid rolling items and line drawers with non-skid grip mats.

This is all about your lifestyle convenience. If you’re at your office desk and need a pen, keep your pencil case close by. If you’re in the kitchen and need a peeler, your peeler will be more convenient in the cutlery drawer rather than your bathroom one. Divide items into categories that match the area they are used in.

Set your drawers up in a way that is simple and convenient to you. Order is key: Invest in clear jars, containers and stackable mesh or bamboo utensil trays, boxes, drawer organisers, dividers, bins, baskets and drawer separators with multi-section inserts and labels for the ultimate in compartmentalising.

A tidy nightstand promotes better sleep by reducing visual distractions and allowing you to focus on the essentials, like a good book, a soothing glass of water, or your favourite bedside lamp. Additionally, it simplifies your morning routine, making it easier to find what you need to start the day.

Beautifying the bathroom is a wonderful way to transform a functional space into a soothing and elegant oasis. Adding soft, plush towels and stylish storage solutions makes it aesthetic and organised. Including potted plants or tasteful artwork can breathe life and personality into the room, making it feel welcoming and inviting.

Bulky items such as huge bath towels or clunky kitchen tools take up a lot of space from inside a drawer. Keep the small stuff for drawers while looking for alternatives for storing big things such as in the closet, wardrobe, cupboards or under the bed.

Drawer organisers are great for compartmentalising and optimising drawer space. Drawer organisers help divide your drawer space equally while keeping small or easily tangled items together. Repurpose small trays, boxes, cartons and tins as drawer trays and dividers for great drawer organisation.

Decluttering drawers every 3 months is a smart and efficient habit that can help maintain an organised and stress-free living space. By doing this quarterly, you prevent clutter from becoming overwhelming, and it becomes a manageable task that contributes to a more streamlined and harmonious living environment.
