More Organized New Year

When the new year arrives, most people have their mind on creating new beginnings: eating healthier, exercising more, taking time to relax. The goal of each one of these resolutions is to live a life that is happier, healthier, and less stressful--in short, to lead a life in which you are in control of your own well-being.

One major contribution to stress is disorganization. Having a home with lots of clutter can be more influential on your mental state than you may think. Not only can being disorganized waste time--for example, having to search for your keys every time you leave the house--it often serves as a visual representation of things in your life that you can’t quite get a handle on. If just reading this post stresses you out because you now feel strangely uncomfortable by how close this hits home, have no fear. Bel has several furniture options that will help you stay organized in each room of your home.


Living Room

The living room is a natural place for clutter to accumulate, because it’s usually centrally located in homes and is a natural gathering place for the whole family. Before you know it, the floor becomes littered with remotes, movies, magazines, and random toys. Yet you can easily avoid this by designating a place for each and every item. Consider this 4-piece entertainment center.
With multiple drawers and shelves, it has the capacity to keep anything you need tucked away and out of sight.

Dining Room
When entertaining guests, do you find yourself pulling out bottles of wine from storage and rummaging in your cabinets for glasses? Make your life easier with a bar cart like the one pictured below. It has room for everything you need when hosting a party, from the beverages you serve to cocktail glasses and more. The flip-up top gives you a built-in serving area, and the side doors close for discreet storage.

Bedroom
The bedroom is probably the most important room to keep organized because it’s where you go at night to unwind and get rest. Kicking back becomes difficult when stray clothes are scattered on the floor or chairs and electronics, books, and other random junk are cluttering your nightstand. This 6-piece bedroom set has plenty of drawers for anything and everything. They are roomy, allowing you plenty of space to place storage bins inside to organize even the smallest items

The most important thing you can do is to develop a habit of putting things away after you’re finished using them. All of the storage in the world won’t help you unless your whole family gets on board with this new routine. Before deciding what will go where, it may be a good idea to sort through everything to see what you really need. Many of us have a habit of holding onto things for far too long. As you go through your things, make a note of the last time you used each item. If the answer is six months or longer, reevaluate whether you really need it. Unless it’s something sentimental, the answer is probably no.
