5 Easy Ways to Start Tidying Up Your Home Without Stressing Out

Tidying up the house can feel like one of the hardest and most overwhelming tasks, especially when the house is dirty and things are scattered everywhere—it can definitely stress you out just thinking about it! To help you stop procrastinating and avoid making the mess even worse, you can try the five methods below to start tidying up your home without the stress. What are they? Let’s take a look!

1. Use the Pomodoro Method

The Pomodoro Method is a time management technique that breaks work time into intervals with short breaks in between. You can set a timer for 25 minutes to tidy up a specific area, then take a 5-minute break to sit down, drink some water, or simply allow your body and mind to relax. This approach helps prevent fatigue or boredom from doing monotonous tasks non-stop.

2. Create a Music Playlist

To boost your motivation while tidying up, you can create a playlist to listen to while you work. Listening to music can improve your mood, making the task of tidying up more enjoyable and less stressful. Be sure to include songs that energize and motivate you!

3. Sort Out Cluttered Items

Before you start cleaning, take time to sort through the clutter. For items you no longer use, consider discarding or donating them if they're still in good condition. As for items you still use but only occasionally, you can set them aside in a designated place—such as in a Flat Storage Box from STORA. 

This box features a convenient front-opening lid, making it easy to access infrequently used items without hassle. With dimensions of 43.5 cm x 36 cm x 31 cm, it offers ample space for various belongings. It's also stackable, saving room and making it ideal for compact spaces.

4. Use Organizers to Arrange Your Items

To make your home look neater, you can use organizers to help arrange your belongings. Not only will things look more tidy and organized, but it will also be easier to find what you need. Each room can benefit from its own type of organizer, such as:

Kitchen

Use the STORA 3-Tier Kitchen Rack, which can be used to store spices neatly in removable compartments to prevent them from getting scattered. The top part can be used to place other kitchen ingredients.

For an even neater look, organize everything on the STORA Cucina Storage Rack with Wheels & Baskets. If you have larger kitchen items, you can also place them on this rack—such as jars, plates, cooking utensils, or even fruits and vegetables. Each shelf can hold up to 15 kg, making it sturdy and durable.

Workspace

To stay productive and avoid getting distracted by small scattered items, you can use the STORA Pegboard, which can be mounted on the wall to store your work essentials. This includes stationery, keys, photos, cables, sticky notes, and more. It not only helps keep things organized but also makes everything easily accessible.

Laundry Room

Don’t let dirty clothes pile up in open areas of your laundry room. Make sure you have a laundry basket to keep all your dirty laundry in one place for a neater look. Choose a basket like the STORA Concept Laundry Basket, which is designed with ventilation holes for better air circulation—so your damp clothes won’t develop a musty smell.

Vanity Table

Skincare and cosmetic products should be stored properly to reduce the risk of mold and bacteria growth and to help preserve the products’ quality. To make your vanity look more aesthetic, you can organize all your skincare and cosmetic products in the STORA Round Rotating Tiered Table Organizer. As the name suggests, this organizer can rotate 360 degrees, making it easier to access all your products. It comes in two options—two tiers and three tiers—so you can choose based on how many products you have.

5. Clean Areas That Still Look Dirty

Once everything is neatly organized, you'll have more space to clean the areas that still look dirty. To avoid stress, choose efficient cleaning tools like the APA Cordless Bended Vacuum Cleaner with Mop, which combines two functions in one device—vacuuming dust and mopping floors.

It also comes with both a brush and flat nozzle to help you clean hard-to-reach corners. Plus, you won’t need to exert much effort using this cleaning tool, as it’s very easy to operate.

Don’t put it off any longer—you can start tidying up your home with the five tips above. Not only are they simple, but they’ll also help you clean and organize without the stress!
