It begins with daily tidying up and ends with a last-minute cleaning scramble before guests come over. Maintaining a neat home seems an impossible feat, but you don\u2019t have to be a minimalist to keep it clean. These space-saving solutions can help:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Be Open<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Consider an open floorplan if you are planning to build or renovate. Open layouts are highly popular for home builders and buyers because they make a house seem larger than it is and offer many functional benefits as well. This popular home design often features a bright and airy great room that serves multiple purposes. Perfect for entertaining and everyday family life, open layouts give you more space to maneuver through high-traffic areas.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Downsize<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Take a cue from the tiny-house movement. That doesn\u2019t mean you have to live in a compact home. Instead, choose modular furniture that folds, bends, stacks, and expands as you need it. Purchase drop leaf tables, storage cubes, and folding benches, or add a pullout couch to make a room double as an office and guest accommodations.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Strategize<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Make the space work for you with built-in storage and nooks. Instead of a large freestanding entertainment center, hide a wall-mounted flat screen tv in a built-in cabinet. Incorporate a wine rack and glass display cabinets in the dining room wall instead of a bulky hutch. Here are some other strategic home organization ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drawers or cabinets under the stairs.<\/li>\n<li>A fireplace surround in the living room.<\/li>\n<li>Mudroom lockers in the garage.<\/li>\n<li>A built-in garage toolbox or craft room cubbies.<\/li>\n<li>Shoe storage, compartments, and a built-in ironing table in the closet.<\/li>\n<li>Recessed shower shelves and niches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Hire a Professional <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In home design, there are nuances that only a trained professional can recognize and solve.
