The living room is arguably one of the most important rooms in your house and therefore needs special attention. Guests will likely spend the bulk of their time in the living room when visiting and a neat, organized room will give them a positive impression. Here are some tips to keep your living room organized and clutter-free.

Use a wastebasket

Add a small wastebasket to your living room to help keep it tidy and clean. The more convenient it is to dispose of waste properly, the more likely it will be, by both guests and family members.

Keep tables clutter-free

A cluttered table makes an entire room look disorganized so it’s important to keep tables free of clutter for a presentable and organized-looking room. And, it’s a good idea to keep a minimal number of items on the dining room table in order to leave ample room for food and drinks.

Hide cords whenever possible

Cords running along the floor and walls of a room are an eyesore that can fairly easily be hidden under carpets or even behind large objects such as a television set. The best solution, however, is to build them into walls or opt for wireless devices.

Keep the floor clear of items

Is your living room floor cluttered with toys, magazines, video games and DVDs? Solve this with specific storage suited to these items, like custom cabinets by California Space Organizers. This will help to keep things organized and objects like toys and movies from taking up valuable floor space.
