  • Try to keep counter tops free of unnecessary clutter. This will also help with daily clean-up and maintenance.
  • You can use a shower caddy to keep your frequently used bath and shower products handy.
  • It is nice to coordinate a few pretty counter top vanity accessories, such as a toothbrush holder, soap container, etc.
  • Drawer dividers may come in handy for organizing cosmetics or hair supplies inside drawers in the bathroom.
  • Plastic containers may be used inside bathroom cabinets to store "like" or similar categories and supplies. You could have an individual container designated for dental care supplies, and another container for skin care items, etc.
  • It is helpful to have any first aid items or supplies contained in one local area, so they will be easy to find if necessary.

You may decide to select a few different zones for your room when developing your organizing plan. One specific room in your home may need to be multifunctional for your family. A family room is a good example of this type of room.

It is a common practice for many people to actually incorporate a little office space into their main living area. A nice office desk and a few coordinating shelves may easily blend into a family room environment. 

The advances in today's technology make it conducive for moms, dads and teenagers to want a little office space of their own at home. The family room is a common place to organize a small corner area dedicated for a desk, chair, and a few shelves.

1. Television/Movie/Gaming Zone
2. Home Office Zone
3. Reading Zone
