Disorganized space starts from small clutter. Little things randomly left on the floor such as bags, magazines, toys can gradually pile up and take space.

In this article, we will elucidate the blowback of leaving things on the floor, the benefits of keeping things tidy and helpful tips to living a more fulfilling life by reducing housekeeping-related stress.

Ideas for practicing a life without clutter on the floor

And so, what exactly do we need to do to achieve a life without things disarray on the floor? Here are three tips.

Tip 1: Lay out interior furnishings with blank spaces

Maintain a home that is not over-furnished by leaving an empty space in the room. By doing this, the room will look open and clean. Subsequently, the residents will hesitate to leave things laying around the floor. Why does this happen? The Broken Window theory explains it all.

In the Broken Window theory, it is said that 60-70% of the flooring should be visible without being shadowed by furniture.

This is because it is said that the ideal ratio of furniture covering the floor surface is about 1/3 of the entire room. By creating a blank space around the furniture, the design and the beauty of the furniture itself will look even more distinguishable.

In addition, we recommend the use of furniture with legs. They look lighter than heavy furniture. Furniture with legs also increase the visible area of the floor and make the room look larger without being oppressive.

Tip 2: Keep things off the floor, designated a fixed storage area

Similar to a person with a home address, objects also need a designated storage space for them to go back after being used. By mind setting that your belongings have addresses, you will get rid of the habit of leaving them unwittingly on the floor.

Here, it is important to be mindful of the storage of frequently used items such as work bags and jackets. These items are commonly left on the floor with the excuse that they are there for the time being and will be used later. In such cases, set up a temporary storage area that works like a parking space.

For example, if you have a habit of leaving your bag on the floor when you get home, we recommend putting a stool to temporarily keep your bag as a solution. This will help you avoid leaving things on the floor while keeping your bag within easy reach.

Tip 3: Use wall storage! An ingenious idea for home storage with limited space.

Wall storage is a storage style that does not take up as much space. It does not cover the floor compared to stationary storage furniture. With good use of wall storage, you can store things in place while making effective use of room space.

As a result, you will be closer to achieving a life without mishmash of things on the floor.

For example, when storing cleaning supplies in the utility room, wall storage is more functional in terms of space utilization and to make the room look larger as opposed to placing them on the floor.

Another advantage of wall storage is that all the tools can be seen at a glance.
