During the festive season , homes tend to get busier. There are decorations to bring out, extra cookware to find, gifts to put away and, of course, more guests coming in. A little planning around storage can make it easier to keep things organised without making the home feel crowded. Ganesen Viswanathan, Vice President of MagickHome, shared tips to keep your home clutter-free.
3. Declutter before decorating
Before bringing out the festive decor , put away things that you don’t need every day. Clear countertops, tables and other surfaces of everyday items so there is more room for decorations. It also makes the home easier to manage when guests arrive. Ganesen Viswanathan highlighted that festivals often mean bringing out cookware, serving dishes and other items that aren’t used regularly. Pull-outs, corner units and drawer organisers can make these easier to access while keeping the kitchen in order. Grouping similar items together can also save time when you’re cooking or serving.
From multifunctional furniture to overlooked corners, these practical storage ideas will help keep your home clutter-free while you enjoy the festivities. Keep lights, candles, decorations and other festive accessories together in one cabinet or a few labelled boxes. This makes them easier to find when the next festive season comes around and saves you from having to search through different parts of the house. Good storage doesn’t always mean adding more furniture. It is about making the space you already have work better for you. During the festive season, that bit of planning can go a long way towards keeping the home comfortable, organised and ready for guests.
