We’re spending more time at home than ever before and the more we do so, the more problems we identify. Reimagining our rooms, and the contents inside, create a happier home that is cleaner, easier to navigate and more efficient.
Interested in discovering our top five home hacks? Read on to learn how to grow your own food, repurpose wine boxes and switch your bulbs.
Reuse Wine Boxes
Wine boxes are useful for transporting the drink, but is there a use for them after successful delivery? Introducing the wine box shoe rack.
Shoes are neglected in most homes – thrown into wardrobes, piled up by the front door or scattered across the bedroom floor.
Using a wine box to organise your shoes is a great solution – helping you to avoid cardboard waste and clutter. Wine boxes make perfect shoe racks because they allow pairs to sit neatly together.
You’ll save yourself lots of wasted time searching every room for a matching boot.
Grow Your Own Food
With grocery costs on the rise, there’s never been a better time to grow your own food. Fruits, vegetables and herbs are cheap to grow and the weather in the US is suitable for growing lots of different types.
From lettuces to beets and peppers to apples, there are so many foods you can grow at home. You can even make some money selling your products to neighbours.
Impress your family and friends with delicious home cooked meals using fresh, local food straight from your garden.
Clean With Tongs
This is a quirky one, but we assure you it works. When doing your cleaning chores, it’s common to forget to dust your blinds. These areas collect a lot of dust, which can affect your health.
To combat this challenge, wrap a cleaning cloth around a pair of kitchen tongs, secure with elastic bands and start moving along the slats.
You’ll be amazed how effective cleaning with tongs can be.
Prioritise Better Security
Your home is one of the safest places you can be, providing a fortress from which you can keep the outside world at bay. Nevertheless, you can’t ignore the risk of being robbed.
Inadequate security systems, poor locks and open windows make it easier for burglars to invade your home and steal your precious belongings.
Companies like CLK Supplies offer all the tools you need to safely secure your home.
Avoid Clutter
Failing to put things away after you’ve used them causes clutter to build up. Living in cluttered spaces has a negative impact on your mental health, causing anxiety. The task of tidying up can be overwhelming.
After a long day, it feels easier to put things down on the side than to put them back where they live. But by taking the time to put things away immediately after using them, you’ll know where to look next time you need it – saving you lots of time and avoiding your home becoming untidy and hard to navigate.
