Have you ever walked into your house and thought “what a mess”? You are not alone for most of us, no matter how much time we spend tidying up and cleaning, when we turn around, we think the house still looks dirty and messy! Here’s what your home needs to keep it looking clutter-free, homely and clean.
Clean your cluttered house the right way
Cleaning is not just about vacuuming, mopping and sweeping. The command is not that simple and cannot be executed in any order. If you talk to a professional cleaner or housekeeper, he will tell you how to clean something and also the ways to follow.
If you don’t have the time, desire, or energy to clean, just sit back and relax, just seek help from professional home cleaning services who will do the job for you. The advantage of going to professional cleaning services is that they are trained to do the job, have the right cleaning equipment and supplies for the best results, and most importantly, they get the job done in half the time it might take!
Choosing right colours for your home
Certain paint colours are known to make your home look smaller. If your home seems small, no matter how much furniture you have, your space will also seem messy and cluttered. You need to choose the right paint colours to create the illusion of spaciousness in the house. When your home looks spacious, your furniture will look good and clutter will appear less.
It is best to get a professional home painting service as they will suggest colours that are appropriate for your home. When we say bright, we don’t mean white. The right painters can help you choose colours that will make your home bright and warm without creating a sterile atmosphere. Painting your home looks like a simple task, but to get the right look it is best to go to an expert.
Unclutter the space by setting furniture in the right place
If you want a quick, easy way to give your home a stylish look, start with simple furniture alignment and placement, door closing and pull-out. To do this, you need to carefully position the sofa, place the pillows upright and place the chairs under the table. Make sure all your furniture is not skewed and is lined up with walls, carpets, etc.
If you have large furniture, you will have to look for places to place it creatively so that it does not take up a lot of space or create clutter in your home. If you have old furniture, something as simple as closing doors and jerking it becomes an impossible task. As it ages, wood tends to sag, swell and lose shape if not properly cared for. In this case, you can turn to carpenters to help restore the look of your furniture or build something that works best for your space.
Create more storage space
Clearing clutter on countertops, beds, floors, and tables is one of the quickest ways to make your home less cluttered. Clean the surfaces, store everything in cabinets or drawers and make sure they are tightly closed. Your home will look much more elegant when everything is closed, all surfaces are clean, and you clean up all the clutter.
If you find it difficult to get rid of the clutter, then you need more storage space. Have your carpenter make cabinets, add shelves, hooks, and anything else that will help you keep your home as clean and clutter-free as possible. Things like folding tables, under-bed storage zippers and corner cabinets are great additions to any home to keep it neat and stylish.

- Keep your dining table clear. We all tend to put down anything and everything on the dining table, try to find other places for your stuff and ensure the table is kept clear.

- Get matching furniture. The more put together your room looks, the less clumsy and cluttered it will feel.
- Use incense and fragrances to keep your home smelling clean and fresh, especially by the entryway. A clean smelling home will make your home seem clean.
