The living room is the room where everyone mechanically puts their things. As a result, we are quickly invaded… unless we adopt this clever method of operation, tested and approved by a mother.
Between the belongings of adults and those of little ones, the living room is often a real station hall with objects lying around. And no matter how much we tell everyone that they have to put their things in their room, nothing helps. There is resistance. So, maybe you tried blackmail? The reward? Or the punishment? Did it work? Otherwise, we have something else to offer you.
Karen LB from @shabbykaren found another very crafty organization with only upsides. It’s very pretty, it lightens the mental load and saves the whole family precious minutes every day. Do you want to find out what this miracle recipe is? We’ll explain it to you. On a section of post in the living room, she hung four beautiful baskets on the wall for each person in the family.
“It’s a magical solution for dealing with small items found here and there. Every time I tidy up, I put everyone’s things in their respective baskets” she explains. She says that this way the children no longer come to ask her where their canteen card is, they look directly in their basket.
She also established a weekly rule to prevent the baskets from ending up overflowing. “At the end of the week, everyone must empty their baskets and put their things away.” she adds. This method makes children responsible and avoids “the endless searches“. No more “mom, do you know where…? Or darling, I don’t know where are…? “. Finally, the expert had the brilliant idea of using Lego characters as hangers, at the level of their feet. Thus, it personalizes the storage and gives a very discreet.
And if you don’t have a wall available, you can also vary this method by putting baskets on the ground with a lid for each person in the family. So smart, right? This is definitely the organization to adopt in 2025!
