How important is the order to live. Especially in the living room. Because there is nothing more terrible than entering through the front door, looking into the living room, and seeing everything messy. Or being on the sofa resting at night, and having everything messed up.
Situations that probably sound familiar to you and that put more than one (me among them) on edge. To solve this problem, today we bring you a compilation of tricks and ideas so that your living room is always tidy and don’t waste time looking for things Shall we start?
Bet on the baskets
They are cozy, they allow us to put a natural touch to our home since they are usually made of sustainable materials, and also, they allow us to keep blankets, magazines, remote controls inside … Although there are experts in order who advise against the use of Baskets for being a bottomless pit that invites disorder, I highly recommend them because you have to be practical. If a blanket has its place in the basket, better there than lying on the sofa.
Beware of showcases and cabinets full of things
Solid pine display cabinet, ALVINA
There are showcases that are like the trunk of memories. Souvenirs, figurines, coffee sets … all mixed without order or concert. Empty those shelves, choose which things are useful, which ones you want to keep, and the rest, sell or give them away. And of course, get rid of all those things you keep for commitment.
Free up space and leave the display case to expose only those objects that you are really proud of. Of course, if you are unable to have a tidy closet, perhaps you should skip that type of storage furniture and opt for furniture with opaque doors. The heart that does not see heart that does not feel is the maxim of this advice.
Provide a tray or paper drawer
It is very common that the living room table accumulates letters, propaganda, documents … we get home, and all those papers they go directly to this table, falling on her in a disorderly way. Take the routine of directly recycling advertising or commercial mail that reaches us. The rest, leave it in a tray or a drawer for the paper. And of course, review and archive all those letters and documents that you leave there from time to time so that not too many accumulate.

The cushions, always placed
It may seem silly, but the cushions thrown away in any way give a feeling of disorder. If you spend half a minute putting them up at night or first thing in the morning, the room will seem much more secluded. And if placing cushions is not your thing, go for the most drastic solution: just put cushions on.

The controls, in place
No more leaving the TV controls on the coffee table or on a shelf. These kinds of things in the end generate a feeling of disorder. So get hold of boxes to store them, or accessories and baskets that hang from the sofa to keep them always stored, and also located.

Well ordered drawers
Are you horrified at opening drawers because disorder reigns in them? One day take out everything you have stored inside, throw away, recycle, donate or give away everything you are not going to use, classifies the rest, and proceeds to save everything. Before doing so, distribute the spaces and buy drawer organizers. Candles, lighters, stationery, napkins … everything must have its place.

Sofas and poufs with storage underneath
If you have little space, or if you have too many things to remove from the middle, do not hesitate to buy a sofa or a pouf with storage space underneath to store blankets, magazines, decorative objects that you want to remove from sight.

Coffee tables with storage underneath
If you’re having trouble keeping order at a table, maybe you should get a coffee table with storage underneath. There you can keep books or magazines. It is best to order them by size and in small piles, or you can even put a box. Also, think about size. If the coffee table is too big, you will have a constant invitation to leave things on top. If the table is smaller, surely you have more collection.

Use trays to group objects
Sometimes the trays can help us to group objects and that there is a feeling of chaos or disorder. If instead of putting a couple of pots, or a set of loose candles on a shelf, you put everything on a tray, it will increase the sense of order.
Bet on straight lines
When you buy furniture, go for straight lines, since they provide a greater sense of order in any room. This same rule applies to the order of books, magazines, etc.
