Having a utility room is a great thing, but it can easily get too cluttered to find what you need when you need it. Getting this core space of your home organized will help you stay on top of other tasks around the house. If things have a place to go when you're cleaning, then it is a lot easier to keep everything in order. A utility room, big or small, is a great place to create storage for multiple types of items.

You can begin by organizing the space that you use most in your utility room. This is usually the laundry area. You need to create a system that works for you. A small counter space can be a big help. You can use it for folding clothes or as a shelf for your laundry basket. Having a space for temporarily storing things can help you keep the clutter down. Just make a point of clearing it when you're done.

Laundry baskets are cheap and can help you get your family to keep things moving in the right direction. Buy two of each color, using a different color for each family member. They can put their dirty clothes in one that is kept in their own room. Then when they bring the dirty clothes into the laundry area, they can pick up their basket of clean clothes. When they put them away, they'll have the empty basket for dirty clothes and you will have another empty basket for when the next load comes out.

Utilize as much vertical wall space as possible in your utility room. If everything is on the floor then you will quickly run out of room. Invest a little in wall organizers for things like sports equipment and cleaning tools. Install some deep shelves for storing out of season clothing in large plastic containers. Label what is in each container by writing what is inside on a piece of paper and placing it inside the container. Make sure that the sign is visible from the outside. This way, people won't pull down a lot of containers digging for something inside, and then leave the container out in the floor.

Another good idea for a utility room is to create a second coat closet. Find space for a hanging rod and stock it with clothes hangers. Hang your winter coats and suits that you don't wear very often. This will keep space clear in your regular closets. The hangers that you choose matter, too. A good coat hanger is a wood hanger. Choose one strong enough to hold heavy coats. This will help them keep their shape and keep them from ending up on the floor. Cedar hangers are a good idea for absorbing moisture that gets into the air while you are drying clothes.

Once your utility room is in order you will find it easier to keep the rest of the house clutter free.
