Most people today live such busy lives juggling work, family, friends and personal time. As a result their home environment can get out of control and become a stress factor instead of a nurturing place to unwind and rejuvenate. If you start to notice clutter piles slowly taking over, it is important to act immediately, finding solutions that will give you piece of mind and positive energy.
The best way to decide where to focus your efforts is to go from room to room and make a list of places where clutter has accumulated. Notice what items are causing piles to form and find these items a newly organized home.
Start in the entryway of your home. According to effective organizing principles, it is very important that this area be free of clutter and look attractive because this symbolizes good fortune coming into your life. Make a list of any items that do not belong in this area and find storage space in another room. The entryway to your home should be warm and inviting.
The living room area is critical to keep as relaxing and visually appealing as possible. This area can affect your level of relaxation if it becomes a catch-all for miscellaneous items. Attractive storage solutions can be purchased to hide clutter. For example, wood or wicker storage boxes in neutral colors can hide magazines, toys, extra blankets etc. while enhancing your overall design. Your furniture should be comfortable and have back support.
These basic storage principles can also be used in the bedroom. The most important thing to remember in the bedroom is that it should be an intimate space to rejuvenate for the next day. It should be your personal oasis away from the world. If possible keep the space under the bed free of storage, so healthy energy and air can circulate. Large wooden trunks make excellent storage solutions for the bedroom for extra clothing or books.
The kitchen is usually in the main traffic area and is a place where people want to hang out. Maximize your space by using ceramic utensil holders and clear plastic or glass storage containers. Also, hanging wire pantry shelves add more storage options. Oils and spices add warmth to a kitchen if they are placed around the stove and will free up more storage space.

Tips to Clear Clutter & Create Harmony
- Sort Outside! Set up a recycling bin near your entry so junk mail or miscellaneous papers do not get through the front door.
- Set Up Mail Slots. Each person in the household that receives mail or has incoming information to keep track of should have a designated place to keep it. Each week pencil out a time and a day to go through and act on pertinent “to do’s” and discard what is no longer needed.
- Label Storage Solutions. By labeling you have created a system that everyone is aware of and it eliminates the mental stress of having forgotten where something is stored.

Blues and greens are soothing and are great for reducing stress. Celery green can be used in the bedroom or living area. These colors help to create an optimal environment for children’s rooms because they stimulate learning and growth. Avoid blues in kitchens unless you want to suppress your appetite.
Red is best used in splashes to add for passion, drama o
r to shake things up a little. Warm reds are fabulous in the kitchen to add to fire energy. Use in small amounts in living areas. Too much red can create stress.
Orange hues similar to the fall leaves are superb in the dining room. They create an atmosphere great for free flowing conversation and digestion of savory foods.
