If you can’t tell by the store shelves lined with heart-shaped boxes of chocolate and life size teddy bears, love is in the air! While you may be pulling out all the stops to show that special someone how much you love them, don’t forget to love your home too. With the simple acronym L.O.V.E., you can get a little more organized and show your space some love this Valentine’s Day.

Label

We love organizing with baskets and bins to contain and categorize various items, but if you can’t quickly identify what’s in those bins, it defeats the purpose. Add labels to know where everything is and avoid wasting time searching for things.

Optimize Space

Optimize your space by editing out what you don’t need. Then determine what you use most frequently and bring those items to the front of your space, while less-used items can be positioned more out of reach. A great hack to make the most of your real estate is to utilize furniture that serves multiple purposes, like these bunk bed stairs with built in drawers pictured above.

Vertical Storage

You’d be surprised how much space can be gained by using vertical storage. With shelves or stackable drawers, you can fit twice as much (if not more!) in tall spaces that would otherwise be wasted.

Everything Has a Home

There’s nothing worse than discovering the space you just tidied the day before is once again cluttered. How do you avoid this? Make sure everything has a home. When you know where everything belongs, it becomes a lot easier to put things away and keep your space organized.

This V-Day shouldn’t just be about the special people in your life, but also the special places in your life. With these four easy steps, you can organize your space and show your home some LOVE!
