\u201cI have a checklist for literally everything,\u201d Zach, one of our Shop From Home expert Design Associates, tells me when I ask how he stays so organized. His trick? \u201cI include things I actually like to do on the lists. You can have some fun while feeling accomplished!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Nadia<\/p>\n

While a checked box can help keep a mind organized, how do you keep a whole home<\/em> looking and feeling organized?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can do it with just a few simple pieces,\u201d he says. Home organization can seem like a daunting task but often, it\u2019s a few baskets, hooks or other small items that can make all the difference.”<\/p>\n

1. What are some easy\u00a0go-to solutions for an organized space?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cTrays<\/a>! Your items will immediately look and feel collected on a tray. I love clustering personal items on them and then adding a vase or candlesticks to make it feel more styled. I\u2019m loving our Nadia trays<\/a>\u00a0right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\"Three
Our Nadia trays<\/a> (also shown at the top of the post) are available in two sizes or in a set of three shapes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOur Kori bins<\/a> are also fantastic. They were made for multi-use. You can place them in any room or even underneath an end table. Mine is next to my desk at home, full of magazines I refuse to part with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\"Kori
Our Kori bin is available in three sizes and five colors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\"Kori<\/p>\n

\u201cOur wall hooks<\/a> look great anywhere and the color choices you get with Crew<\/a> are so fun. The colors are extra fun for kids and their rooms can usually use some organizing help.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2. I have so many books, coasters, magazines and tiny things in my home. I don\u2019t want to get rid of them, but how can I make them look more organized?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to layer. Layering and mixing materials or items will always enhance the feel of a home. Again, this is where I love the use of trays. All of a sudden a collection of odds and end will look curated and styled once they\u2019re on a beautiful, organic surface like a tray.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\"Meredith<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

3. What do you think about before adding pieces\u2014large or small\u2014to your home?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cI like the core of a space to be neutral. It makes it easy for personality pieces, like throw pillows<\/a>\u00a0or organizational pieces<\/a>, to highlight a space with color and personality.\u00a0I also try to make sure there\u2019s a need for everything I bring into my home. I also think how it will fit into the style of home\u2014I love pieces that are modern but have a rustic quality to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Meredith<\/p>\n

4. How do you help Room & Board customers find the best organizational solutions for their home?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll make floor plans for customers, but I also really enjoy creating mood boards. It helps both the customer and me understand what their real design style is, rather than just finding one solution for one room. So that way if they end up moving or wanting to switch items around, they\u2019ll know their style for next time.\u201d<\/p>\n
