Q & A

Quel est le problème principal que la plupart des gens rencontrent avec l'organisation à domicile?

Le problème principal réside dans la quantité excessive de choses et dans le manque de connaissances sur la manière de se débarrasser des objets inutiles, ainsi que sur la façon d'organiser les objets qu'ils souhaitent garder.

Quels sont les trois principes clés d'une bonne organisation à domicile selon Caroline?

Les trois principes clés sont la déclutter visuelle, la facilité d'accès et la facilité de maintenance.

Pourquoi Caroline recommande-t-elle d'utiliser des plateaux pour organiser les objets sur une surface?

Les plateaux aident à regrouper plusieurs objets individuels en un seul élément, ce qui contribue à la déclutter visuelle et facilite la perception de l'espace.

Quels types de supports Caroline suggère-t-elle pour 'corraler' les objets sur une surface?

Caroline suggère d'utiliser des livres, des planches à découper, des piles de magazines ou tout autre objet capable de regrouper plusieurs éléments en un seul.

Pourquoi les cintres en velours sont-ils, selon Caroline, essentiels pour l'organisation d'un placard?

Les cintres en velours sont recommandés car ils ne laissent jamais tomber les vêtements et facilitent la maintenance de l'organisation du placard.

Quelle est la différence entre les zones actives et les zones passives en termes d'organisation à domicile?

Les zones actives sont les endroits où l'on utilise fréquemment et où l'on déplace des objets, tandis que les zones passives sont moins fréquentées et peuvent stocker des objets utilisés moins souvent.

Quels sont les avantages d'utiliser un 'lazy susan' pour l'organisation d'un placard à linge?

Le 'lazy susan' permet une meilleure accessibilité aux articles, en particulier dans un placard à linge, en permettant de regrouper et d'accéder facilement aux toiletries, médicaments et produits de voyage.

Quels sont les critères que Caroline recommande pour créer des zones de dépôt intentionnelles dans une maison?

Les critères incluent l'observation des habitudes naturelles des occupants pour déterminer où ils laissent leurs affaires, et de placer les zones de dépôt là où les objets sont déjà laissés pour faciliter la maintenance.

Quels sont les inconvénients d'utiliser des étagères ouvertes pour le rangement?

Les étagères ouvertes peuvent nécessiter un niveau de maintenance plus élevé, car elles exposent les objets à la poussière et nécessitent un rangement soigné pour paraître esthétiques.

Quelle est la stratégie que Caroline recommande pour se débarrasser des objets inutiles dans son foyer?

Caroline recommande de se débarrasser des objets inutiles en effectuant des purges régulières, en s'engageant dans des sessions de 15 minutes de nettoyage, et en évaluant si un objet est vraiment nécessaire en se demandant à quel point on serait déçu si cet objet était endommagé ou perdu.

Quels sont les avantages de l'utilisation d'applications de remboursement comme Upside, selon Caroline?

L'application Upside permet de recevoir des remises sur des achats courants tels que l'essence, les courses et les repas, en s'inscrivant simplement et en utilisant un code promo, offrant ainsi une économie d'argent sur des dépenses habituelles.

Quels sont les outils que Caroline recommande pour maximiser l'espace sous les lavabos et comment fonctionnent-ils?

Caroline recommande l'utilisation de supports à rideaux et de barres à papier-toile pour maximiser l'espace sous les lavabos. Ces outils permettent de stocker des articles tels que des sacs poubelles et d'autres fournitures de rangement de manière organisée et accessible.

Quelle est la raison pour laquelle Caroline suggère de fermer les portes des étagères et des meubles de rangement?

Fermer les portes permet de cacher les objets et de maintenir une apparence ordonnée sans avoir à se soucier de l'esthétique de chaque objet individuellement, ce qui simplifie considérablement l'entretien de l'organisation.

Quels sont les avantages de sous-diviser les tiroirs à gants ou les tiroirs à 'junk' selon Caroline?

La sous-division aide à organiser les objets en catégories, ce qui rend la recherche et le rangement plus efficaces, même dans les tiroirs très encombrants.

Quelle est la recommandation de Caroline concernant l'achat de rangements pour tiroirs?

Caroline suggère d'éviter d'acheter des quantités excessives de contenants transparents chers de la Container Store et recommande plutôt d'utiliser des boîtes à chaussures, des boîtes cadeaux ou des étireurs de tiroirs pour une organisation moins coûteuse mais tout aussi efficace.

Quel est l'argument de Caroline pour encourager à la purge régulière des effets personnels?

Caroline soutient que la purge régulière est essentielle pour éviter la saturation d'objets inutiles et permet de maintenir une maison organisée et fluide, même si cela peut être émotionnellement difficile.

Quels sont les conseils de Caroline pour gérer l'émotion liée à la déprédation de ses effets personnels?

Caroline suggère de se demander à quel point on serait déçu ou soulagé si un objet était endommagé par accident, ce qui peut aider à identifier les objets qui ne sont conservés que par obligation ou culpabilité.

Quelle est la philosophie générale de Caroline sur l'organisation à domicile?

Caroline croit que l'organisation doit être adaptée au mode de vie des gens et faciliter leur quotidien, plutôt que de se concentrer uniquement sur une apparence parfaite pour les médias sociaux. Elle encourage de s'adapter aux changements et d'être indulgent envers soi-même.

okay don't get me wrong

i find this brand of medical grade

pantry organization to be just as

sexually satisfying as the next guy okay

i get it i like it however

this brand of home organization is never

going to give you an organized home not

only is it expensive but it usually

doesn't even fix the real problem when i

have an interior design client who has a

messy home the problem isn't usually

that their m ms aren't color coded the

problem is that we all have a ton of

stuff and we don't know how to get rid

of it we don't know what to get rid of

and we don't know how to arrange the

things we actually keep and you can

spend all the time in the world pinning

images on pinterest and trying to design

the perfect space but if your floor is

covered in clutter then it truly doesn't

make a bit of difference what rug you

end up buying i'm gonna tell you which

organization products are worth getting

which are not and more importantly the

organization design principles that will

keep your home organized and running

smoothly my name is caroline and this is

home organization from an interior

design perspective

[Music]

every home organization video on youtube

is pretty much telling you the same

thing buy this buy this buy this hack

buy this gadget buy this product consume

home organization is about more than

just products and gadgets and hacks it's

about systems that make your life work

better and great home organization has

to meet three requirements visual

declutter ease of access and ease of

maintenance and we're going to get into

all three with 10 tips to keep your home

organized

tip number one corral your crap this

blows people's mind if you're looking at

your nightstand or your kitchen counter

or your coffee table and you're like ugh

it's just a lot of stuff it's visually

busy corral it just place things on a

tray it will

it will blow your mind at how quickly it

solves the problem of visual declutter

and it doesn't have to be a tray you can

use a book you can use a cutting board

you can use a stack of magazines

something that takes a bunch of

individual items and then instead of

five items you just have one item it

sounds like semantics but it makes a

huge difference and group items in

groups of threes even without a tray

this can make a huge impact varying the

height of those items so they they kind

of become

it's kind of like uh

transformers or the power rangers or

what's the ones that they all come

together and they make a new thing yeah

you group things together in groups of

threes they become a new item a single

item and it minimizes the visual

business corral that's it that's it

tip number two is another gadget that i

fully endorse in fact i insist upon it

velvet hangers for your closet don't

talk to me about other kind of hangers

these are the only hangers i use clothes

never fall off the velvet hanger normal

hangers non-velvet hangers are just

another form of misogyny trying to

punish women for owning camisoles don't

let them stop you buy the velvet hangers

it's an investment you invest once you

keep them forever and yes it's nice to

just get all one kind of hanger in your

closet that's already like the visual

declutter satisfying you'll feel a

little bit high but the difference is

that if i fill a closet with wire

hangers or plastic hook hangers and i

fill a closet with velvet hangers only

the velvet hanger closet is gonna stay

that way okay i don't i don't have the

seconds to put the spaghetti straps into

the little hooks and the clip in the i

have a life to live i'm a busy lady make

it as easy as possible to get those

clothes put away and they'll stay put

away end of discussion end of discussion

[Music]

this is a big one drop zones creating

intentional drop zones where are the

keys going where's the coat going

where's the bag going sounds simple

enough but the way you create these drop

zones is extremely important and that

gets us into home organization

requirement number three

ease of maintenance and this one is the

most important because if it's not

easily maintained by everyone in the

home then it's not going to work there's

nothing more impossible than changing

human behavior it's hard to create new

habits for yourself let alone for me to

create new habits for my pretend partner

or my pretend kids and if they can't

uphold my new organization system then

i'm left doing it all alone and that's

not why i got pretend married the best

way to create drop zones is to watch how

you your roommates your family watch

where you are naturally dropping your

stuff when you come home

and then put the drop zones there and

just make it intentional if all the keys

are always going on the table put a

freaking bowl on that table if the coats

are always going in that corner put a

hook in the corner if the bag is always

being dropped there put a table put a

chair put a stool good design and good

organization systems are not about

making people adhere to your system it's

about making the system adhere to the

habits people already have

it's about making the system adhere to

the habits people already have that's

the way they get maintained so if we

don't consider ease of maintenance then

the drop zone could easily be on the

other side of the room would it take you

four steps to get there and put your

coat down easy access it's not hard to

access that but it's hard to maintain it

if it's just a little inconvenient it's

not gonna happen

tip number four is one of the very few

home organization products that you i

highly recommend you should definitely

get this there's a bunch of versions of

this tiered lazy susan that you get

online i got mine off amazon i'm using

two of these in my tiny little linen

cabinet it holds all my toiletries all

my medical stuff all my travel products

this product gets us into organization

principle number two ease of access so

yes we want to visually declutter and we

want to find a place for everything we

want everything to have a place but if

that item cannot be easily accessed when

you need it then it's never going to go

back there it's never going to go back

to that place this is why just getting a

box for everything just getting an

expensive container store container for

everything doesn't solve the problem

it's how you organize it before i bought

these lazy susans i had to pull out five

drawers and a bunch of stacked shelves

and i couldn't get to the things and

then not only by the time i'm going to

get my tube of toothpaste i'm furious

first of all i'm pissed off

and it's probably not going to get back

in that place either if it's too hard

and i have to pull everything apart to

get it out this tiered lazy susan makes

so many things so many items accessible

there's a bunch of versions of this but

this is the best version in my humble

opinion because there's no wasted space

you can adjust the shelves and the

shelves don't get too compartmentalized

it's one thing you have to look out for

sometimes this they get too divided and

it limits what products you can put in

there it's pretty enough that you can

display your makeup on it you can

display your perfumes on it i personally

i like to just leave my perfumes out on

the vanity or in the bathroom because

they're kind of they're little statues

they're little pieces of art themselves

so i don't really like to squirrel those

away this tiered lazy susan makes so

many items accessible without you having

to touch anything

do it i recommend

if you're like me and you're trying to

save money so that you can blow it all

on home decor upside is one of the

easiest ways to save money it's a cash

back app that basically sounds too good

to be true but it's not i'm a pretty

skeptical person i've used the app

myself and i'm here to spread the good

news

bless me anytime you make gas grocery

dining purchases you get cash back it's

super straightforward and that's

probably why they have a 4.8 star rating

on the apple store recently i found

myself cringing at gas prices

you may relate

and god forbid those gas prices keep me

from buying yet another vintage vase off

of etsy god forbid to get started you

just download the free upside app and

use code caroline it's me to immediately

get five dollars back on your first

purchase of ten dollars or more then

next you show up at the place that

you're doing groceries dining gas

whatever you check in at the business on

the app you pay as usual with a credit

or debit card and you get paid it is

super simple instead of losing my entire

life savings at the gas pump i've now

started using the upside app and you can

cash out at any time to your bank to

paypal to amazon gift card whatever it's

very convenient i'm gonna be buying gas

i'm gonna be buying groceries it's a

no-brainer to me to go check in on the

app and get cash back the very first

time i used it i checked in at a gas

pump i got cash back in my account the

next day it's super simple super easy to

use highly recommend checking it out

it's a no-brainer and thanks to upside

tip number five active zones versus

passive zones we gotta define them

active zones are the areas in your home

where you're moving stuff all around

you've got your entryway maybe your

living room kitchen stuff's coming in

and out we're dropping stuff we're

taking stuff we're really living in

those spaces

passive zones are maybe your guest

bedroom maybe parts of your basement

maybe that you know back closet we never

really access whatever that is for you

we got to define those areas because not

all storage areas are created equal a

lot of people make the mistake of

putting items that they only need to

access once a month or so in an active

zone don't put your spare light bulbs

that you only need to change out once

every few months in an active zone it's

just taking up space put it in a passive

zone in your bathroom let's say you got

a bunch of shelves that first shelf that

you can easily reach without standing on

your toes or pushing up on the counter

or moving much stuff that's got to be

your everyday use item that lotion that

you use every day don't make yourself

stand on your tiptoes to get it if

possible don't make yourself do that

when you're doing that every day you're

gonna be just a little bit annoyed and

it's gonna impede and slow down your

wait i was gonna say breakfast routine

that's not the word your morning routine

just a little bit more every time that

you do that all those little speed bumps

we gotta create flow so the everyday

items boom boom boom we can reach them

not only is it easy to get that lotion

down that you're gonna use first thing

every morning but it's easier to put

away if it's on that top shelf and you

have to get up on your toes to put it

away guess what it's probably gonna stay

on the bathroom sink most days

in your kitchen if you're crammed for

space

don't be putting your melon baller in

the forefront drawer or cabinet unless

you're melon balling every day

get it out of here put it away we can

use that space for something else so

it's prioritizing ease of access to find

your zones

[Music]

maximize your weirdo spaces if you're

living in especially like a small

apartment like i am and you're looking

at some weird little corner alcove and

you're like that's a weird space guess

what that space is going to be for one

of two things you're either going to

make it into a cute little designed

vignette

or it's going to be storage and to

capitalize on your weirdo spaces you are

going to want a couple great

organization gadgets for example in my

own apartment in my bedroom there is

this bizarre like

10 inches of space to the side of my

closet

feels like that could have been more

closet space but okay

i decided that space is gonna hang my

purses it's gonna hang my backpacks and

all the bags i have this is one of my

favorite tools you can buy it's pretty

heavy duty it's like very nice quality i

got mine offline you can get a chrome

version you can get a white version not

only is it a wall hook that can go into

your wall but you can

lift it up and out to tilt it this way

and extend out this way these are

actually intended to go in your closet

like a little extend a hook i think

they're called um

i don't know you can put this in your

closet to hold belts to hold purses and

then you can extend it out in your

packing or you're trying to like look

through a bunch of items hang a bunch of

hangers here it's very helpful what is

the word

what is the word

closet

um

pull

out

rod

a valet rod it's called a valet rod when

people do really fancy custom closets

they get these valet rods built in

oftentimes but what's nice is that i can

fit like a bunch of purses on here if

you just have the small wall hook it's

kind of hard you know they just start

piling up this way anyway love this

product i'm linking everything in the

video description okay another weirdo

space in my apartment is my little

laundry closet it's also the only closet

space in my entire apartment it's the

only like storage closet

so i need to make the most of it there's

about a one foot eight inches of space

that's where i'm putting my broom my

vacuum my

what's it called dustpan that space is

gonna be chock full of these little

dingle dangles it attaches to the wall

with a command strip and then you can

hold your broom just like that and it

like clamps it everything is being held

up it's getting up and off the floor um

in those tight little spaces it's made

it so much tidier so much easier to

access stuff these are a must for me

another weirdo space under your sink

what a weird chaos of a world that

always is it's organization hell

maximize that weirdo space there's some

great products i like to do just an over

the cabinet door i found this specific

combination of this paper towel holder

and this over the door

rack that can stack together i have them

on two separate doors you can put your

paper towels on this

holder but you can also put a roll of

your trash bags put all your storage

stuff in the door maximize that space

these ones very worth it side note i

also keep my magic eraser in there the

magic eraser

if there's nothing else you buy the

magic eraser i mean

i don't want to over hype the magic

eraser but there's nothing else that i

believe in as much as this product

it gets all of those fingerprints off

your wall all those scuff marks i clean

my white sneakers with them i have

removed stains from marble this is not

sponsored i can't

tell you

i hope the guy who invented this the

magic eraser is living a good life i

wish him

all the happiness in the world for the

way that he has changed my life if i

have something that is scuffed up before

i get rid of it try the magic eraser on

it i don't care what the damage is it

probably helps

it's amazing

it's amazing okay the end that's the end

i'm not i'm no association with the

magic eraser lobby i'm just a very big

fan

[Music]

closed storage

closed storage this is so important when

you're buying piece of furniture you're

buying storage items for yourself just

give yourself a break you make your life

a little bit easier i usually opt for

the clothes storage now there's some

open shelving it's really beautiful and

nice and it looks great on the instagram

photo but it's not usually actually

great for storing stuff we end up

putting like the wooden beads on there

or we buy a vase just to go on the shelf

because there's nothing we already own

that we would be visually happy with

storing on the shelves i don't know it's

a weird thing that being said open

shelving can be really nice sometimes in

your kitchen to break up too much

cabinetry to give the eye a break but

usually if you have open storage open

shelving

and you're really using it to store a

lot of stuff if i can if i can afford to

go the closed storage route i do the

clothes storage give yourself a break

put your batteries and your electronics

and all that stuff in organized baskets

but then close the door so you don't

have to think about it i think that like

the open shelving is great for storing

things that are easy to look pretty your

glassware your dishes your books but if

you're getting a credenza you're getting

a sideboard or something i would just go

the closed storage route as much as you

can just give yourself a break yeah

you know i don't have time to make home

organization my entire identity i don't

have time to make storage containers my

whole personality

so if you feel the same way remember to

like the video subscribe for more stuff

like this it's a good time on here i'm

all about making organization or design

accessible and realistic to real people

living real chaotic lives

all right

tip number eight you want to subdivide

this is especially important for junk

drawers where there's just like a ton of

stuff being held

and i will say the organization product

you probably don't need to invest in is

a million of those clear containers from

the container store they're nice but

dude they're super expensive even

getting a bunch of them from goodwill or

a bargain store like it's a lot of stuff

and it's not necessary in my home i'm

using shoe boxes gift boxes to organize

and compartmentalize you can do the

fancy containers you can also get um

like the drawer expanders whichever way

you want to do it you do want to

subdivide it will make a world of

difference especially in those really

cluttered storage areas where you gotta

keep a ton of stuff

[Music]

tip number nine is probably the most

important one

purge purge your stuff declutter it

doesn't matter how much you organize if

at the end of

motorcycle okay

thank you

it doesn't matter how much you organize

if you just have too much stuff and if

you're anything like me you do most

likely the things that are over

cluttering your home you don't need

purging your home is not just something

you need to do once a spring it needs to

be an easy light lift that you can do a

little bit every week every month here's

some easy tips to help accomplish a

declutter a purge that's not going to

overwhelm you declutter for 15 minutes

set a timer and do what you can do in 15

minutes put stuff in the donation pile

in the throwaway pile 15 minutes that's

all you got to do i heard this from

another organization youtuber do it on a

dime check out her stuff she's wonderful

if it takes me more than five minutes to

tidy up any room i need to start getting

rid of some stuff five minutes it

shouldn't take more than that if it's

taking you more than that you gotta get

rid of some stuff in that house another

tip set your day of the week where

you're doing that intentional home

organization on sundays sundays are the

day i take out the trash i vacuum i

sweep i pick one thing to try and

organize or declutter just have it built

into your schedule you can have your

kids kids freaking like cleaning stuff i

don't know what's wrong with them you

give them a spray bottle you give them

some fancy gloves a cool broom they're

into it

okay so we know what decluttering and

purging looks like but sometimes it's

still so hard to do because it's

extremely emotional for a lot of us we

have sentimental attachment to items or

we just feel obligated to hold on to

them or even guilt over letting them go

so here are some tips for managing the

emotional endeavor of decluttering i

think marie kondo's you know concept of

what sparks joy and what doesn't you

hold on to things that sparks joy you

let go of things that don't it's super

helpful and that's lovely but sometimes

for me personally it's hard to

distinguish even

something that sparks joy or something

that the idea of letting it go just

sparks fear and i feel obligated to hold

on to it or i feel guilty if i don't

hold on to it it's hard to distinguish

those things so here's a different tip

that helps me when deciding what to keep

and what to get rid of if this item was

covered in red wine

how hard would i work to save it how

hard would i work to revive it if it's

something that you're like oh man if

that got covered in red wine i would be

so relieved to be able to say yeah got

ruined sorry i couldn't hold on to it

that helps me to really distinguish what

items i'm only holding on to for

obligation it's easier said than done

but let go of the guilt of letting go

when that idea clicked it was a huge and

life-changing lesson for me

i'm not an organization freak i haven't

made it my whole personality but it

affects interior design which i love

good organization should let all the

beautiful items in your home shine let's

let them shine let's hype them up our

homes are full of real people living

real lives you can build systems that

make your life run more smoothly it's

not just about the image you can post

online it's about bringing ease to your

day

to your roommates to yourself to your

family don't be beating up on yourself

if things aren't perfect all the time

remember that photos from the internet

instagram pinterest wherever they cannot

be our standard for happiness let

yourself live and give yourself a leg up

by giving yourself a couple good systems

that support the way you already live

your life that's all it's also important

to remember that no system is gonna work

forever your habits change your family's

habits change your home changes the

systems you build it's important to

check in with them and be open to the

fact that they will have to adapt and

change so everybody just take a deep

breath and let's just say we're doing a

good job okay we're doing our most and
