Labels to keep the house organized

Order gurus have taken a step further in organizing home spaces. If with methods like KonMari or FlyLady we learned to classify, arrange, and optimize everything we had at home, now we will also label it. Because if we organize our homes and want to maintain that order over time, it is essential to know where we keep each thing.

With this goal in mind, the trend of labeling is increasingly expanding to household objects to help us be more organized. It makes a lot of sense. If storage spaces, in addition to being well-organized, have a label reminding us that everything has its place, the chances of success in terms of orderliness increase.

Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest are a true showcase of inspiration, and behind hashtags like #personalization #customlabels or #jarlabels, a multitude of proposals and ideas are hidden that can help us if we want to take the step and start labeling the different spaces in our home. We leave you with some of the most popular ideas and uses, although when it comes to labels, imagination will be your best ally:

• In the kitchen: If you have already organized your pantry with practical glass jars to store flour, rice, pasta, legumes, or cereals, it's time to label them, so you can distinguish each product more easily and make it accessible to everyone.
• In the bathroom we can also apply labels to our vanities, organizers, glass jars for cosmetics... the idea is to have each product and space well identified.
• Office: Another good idea is to label folders, notebooks, even binders and drawers; this way, we will have practical information at hand that will help us keep order in this area of the house and quickly find materials or documents we need.
• Storage areas: Clothes cabinets, toy boxes, shoe racks, etc. Anything goes! Place labels that allow you to know, at a glance, what you keep in each space. You will undoubtedly save time opening and closing boxes and, moreover, you will help the little ones in the house to improve their independence.

But it's not just about labeling sorting objects. Labels have earned their own place among the most innovative decoration options, which suggest also marking chairs, hooks, coat racks, or towel racks with the names of each family member. The idea is to enhance order, but also to give the home an extra touch of personalization, a trend that is making its way strongly inside and outside of homes. By customizing each label to taste, in addition to promoting order and organization at home, we will be adding a touch of design.

Now, the classic dymo labels are not the only option. We can make our own labels or buy them pre-made. In any case, the choices are endless: custom vinyls, reusable stickers with a chalkboard effect, stamping seals, kraft labels... And for the most creative, there are also multiple lettering options to customize signs and labels.

But if you haven't yet taken the first step, which is to effectively organize your home, here are some tips that will help you get started here.
