Check out these 25 beautifully organized spaces for inspiration on how to organize your own home. Who knew that home organization could look to good?!
Have you caught the January we-have-to-downsize-our-crap-and-get-organized bug yet?
I sure have! The bug caught up to me mid December actually, but I didn’t have time to act on anything.
However, now that the hustle and bustle of Christmas is over and the Holiday decor is down, I’m back to focusing on the everyday tasks and chores of home life. I suddenly have this organizing energy brewing inside of me that wants to tackle every square foot in our house.
And I plan to! If I can find the time, that is 😉
Inspiration and influence can go a long way when it comes to wanting to organize your home. This is why I’ve rounded up 25 beautifully organized spaces to inspire and delight any other O.C.D. homeowners out there.
Now mind you, I am not talking about labelled plastic totes or up-cycled cardboard boxes . . . although those certainly have a place in our never-to-be-seen-online spaces in our home.
Today I’m hoping to inspire a type of organization in the home that suits for display and functional purposes. The spaces where we can show everyone in sight that we are perfectly and beautifully put together, and that we have the type of home where there is a place for everything, and everything is in its place.
Sound improbable?
Well, it likely is. But that should not stop us from doing what we can to have a beautifully organized home – little by little.
If you find yourself drooling over these images, I want to point out 2 philosophies of mine that make these kinds of spaces achievable.
Home Organization Philosophy #1 – Less is Always More
“Organizing” should actually be 2 words.
“De-clutter Organizing”.
De-cluttering is some of the best advice I can give anyone who wants to get organized. You just have to get rid of things to make your spaces feel and function better. Keep the bare minimum, necessary, beautiful and meaningful items, and donate the rest.
While scaling back on possessions is one of the hardest things about organizing, it’s one of the essential steps to creating a welcoming home. Trust me, your future self will thank you!
The images below will speak for themselves in regards to this concept.
Home Organization Philosophy #2 – Keep Things in Plain Sight
I’ll admit, I’ve been criticized more times than I can count for my open shelving. But I will always always swear by the concept.
Yes, you’ll have to dust. Yes, you’ll have to keep it tidy.
But for me, the minute I have “that closet” or “that drawer”, I shove and stuff and before I know it – I’ve lost my marbles.
But if you choose to organize things in open shelves, open closets, antique cupboards, you not only add a lovely cottage feel to your home, but you’ll be forced to keep things organized and you’ll resist collecting more clutter you don’t need – because there is no where to put it! Unless you get rid of something, which is always a good thing.

Personally, I have a kid’s craft closet that is beginning to look like it might spill out on you if you open the door.

Love your storage ideas Cami pretty and very useful
So glad you enjoyed!
I enjoy your website so much!! It’s interesting how every email I get from you follows my very thoughts! Like yesterday I was de cluttering and thinking how I needed less things, than I get your email on the very subject. We think alike!
( by the way, I’ve watched every show that you recommended. I told my husband that if you said it’s good, than it’s good! You’ve been right every time!) thanks for all the great advice!! ( Mom of 7, housewife )
Your comment filled me to the tippy top! Maybe you should let me know what you are thinking first, then I’ll write something 😉 . That makes me feel so relieved that you like my movie suggestions! It’s a hit and miss and I’m so careful to recommend what I really enjoyed, and so pleased when others feel the same. Thank you for letting me know your thoughts and for sharing such kind words for me! Hugs!
I LOVE your bathroom cabinet! I have been looking for something similar for the last year. 🙂
I LOVE the visible kitchen storage ideas you shared! I’m an organized person by nature so these are perfect for my new kitchen. We are looking to buy a home & these are some REALLY GREAT ideas. I can hardly WAIT to get started on the designing & decorating. Thank you for researching & sharing the ideas!
At 79 I have way too much stuff–some mine, some my mother’s and some my mother-in-law’s, so I’m scaling down. The hard part is that there is no place to put stuff as I sort and weed out.
I love many of these ideas, however, #1 JULIE BLANNER’S LINEN CLOSET has way too much empty space, unless she is a newlywed. As for #14, that grain is just waiting for bugs! Yuck. Now, back to my sorting and tossing!
OMG!! I seriously have the Bug! I need to super duper de-clutter! The thing driving me crazy right now is that I can’t tackle my garage until Spring. In other words, when j can go into my garage and not turn into s popsicle! Very Brrr…here in Michigan!
In the meanwhile, there is PLENTY to keep
me busy de/cluttering inside. First I think
I need a cup of hot hazelnut cocoa. ☕️
