Amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life, home has become a personal
refuge. “We live in a crazy world,” said
Marc Three of March-Michaels Interior Design in Winter Park, FL. “Our home should be a sanctuary.” Disorganization takes away from the tranquility
of a space. Thee suggested two upgrades
that enhance the feeling of order:
Separate Laundry Room
A well-organized space is “the gift that keeps on giving,” Thee
said. Sellers or recent buyers can
enhance laundry room space by installing shelving and cabinetry surrounding the
washer and dryer. It doesn’t have to be
expensive; it’s the perfect DIY project.
Consider what can be stored in that place: laundry detergent, other
household cleaners, an iron and ironing board, towels, bedding, and of course,
dirty laundry. Add bins or baskets for
instant clothes sorting. A big
enhancement, if there’s room, is the addition of a rolling table for folding
laundry or doing arts and crafts projects.
Smart Storage
Thee suggested dedicated towers or cubbies for each member of the
family – even one for pets. Add names to
them and place them near a widely used entrance. They’re great for creating a convenient
system for sorting jackets, backpacks, mail, keys, and leashes.
