5 THINGS THAT MAKE YOUR HOUSE LOOK MESSY
So you started your journey to declutter your house, no matter how much your pack and declutter your house, it still does not give you that clean and minimalist vibe. You feel discouraged about your efforts and are considering just falling back into your old patterns. Well don’t give up just yet! Here are some less obvious things that may be the reason why your house still looks messy after cleaning.
1. Different Bottles and Containers
This tip may seem insignificant but trust us, it really upgrades your home to give it that hotel vibe. Transfer items like shampoos and soaps out of their original packaging and into a set of consistent bottles that match the aesthetic of your bathroom. You could also store items like cereals and pasta in clear glass jars to upgrade the look of your kitchen too.
2. Your Fridge Door
This is an area where people tend to overlook. Many people like to display photos or notes on the fridge because it is such a prominent and frequently used area in the house. When things start to accumulate on the door, it tends to look messy and cluttered even if the rest of the environment is clean and tidy. Be sure to only display your absolute favourite pieces in a neat manner to prevent your house from looking messy.
3. Mismatch of Storage Boxes
Everyone loves a good storage box, but few make the effort to ensure that their storage boxes actually look good. When it comes to storage boxes, people tend to prioritize functionality over how it looks, as a result, they own storage boxes that don’t match each other. A quick fix that you can use to solve this problem would be to spray paint your boxes so that they are all in the same colour.
4. Wires and Cords
This is an unavoidable problem because many appliances need to be plugged into a socket in order for it to function. As a result, the cords are left shrewd all over the place, making the space look messy and cluttered. To make these cords look a bit better, you could bundle the items up using velcro and wire ties, or even spray paint wires to match the colour of the wall.
5. Remote Controls
Every household is bound to own a few remotes for different items such as the television, play stations and more. People often leave it at easily accessible areas such as on the coffee table or on the couch, but this makes the space look messy and cluttered. Instead, try having a storage box for all your remotes to keep them out of sight until you need them.
That’s it! These are some of the details that people tend to overlook when they are trying to achieve a minimalist interior design. Try these out and we promise that your space will look so much better.
