Having small items organised in containers has many benefits:
- It’s easier to find and put our stuff away
- Keeps everything neat and tidy
- we can clean with less hassle
And it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money!
This is a photo of under my bathroom sink. The containers I use were repurposed from different areas in my home, all mismatched shapes and colours, but they do their job.
I was recently reminded of another benefit of having stuff organised in containers….
Yipes, a water pipe under my bathroom sink suddenly burst!
It was all very dramatic with water gushing out and careening towards my wooden floorboards. I had to act quickly!
Luckily it was easy to pick up the containers and place them into my bath safely away from the water and the risk of getting ruined.
After running and shutting off the water mains, I could concentrate on mopping up and organising the plumber.
Quickly scanning through our belongings and weeding out stuff we no longer need on a regular basis really helps keep our spaces clear.
Keeping things tidy isn’t just about the aesthetics
It makes dealing with unexpected surprises so much easier—and quicker!
And…decluttering can be a quick job too when done often – got to love that 🙂
Don’t delay, start today!
