How to keep your home tidy with young children

Keeping your home tidy can be challenging, especially when you have young children running around the place. But having a tidy home is key to creating a calm, functional environment for the whole family.

Here are some of the best tips and tricks for keeping your home shipshape with young children. Find out how our properties can give you the space and amenities you need in order to keep your home tidy and welcoming.

1. Establish routines and habits

Creating orderly routines and habits is essential to keeping things tidy at home. Set a regular schedule for meals, play, study and rest. This will help your children understand your expectations and keep to a daily pattern that will help you stay organised.

2. Assign responsibilities

Involving your children in household chores from an early age will teach them responsibility and help keep the place tidy. Assign age-appropriate tasks, such as putting away toys, making the bed or helping set the table. By encouraging everyone to take part in the housework you can make keeping the home tidy a team effort.

3. Organize the play space

Set aside a specific area for your children’s games and keep that space organised. Use storage boxes or shelving for toys and teach your children to pick up and tidy away their toys after playing. Setting limits and teaching them to keep their play space tidy  from an early age will help them develop long-term organisational skills.

4. Create efficient storage systems

Use efficient storage systems to keep everything organised. Baskets, shelves, boxes and labels will make it easier to sort things and find them when they’re needed. In Fidere homes you’ll find spaces designed with a view to functionality and order, with fitted wardrobes and integrated storage areas.

5. Get rid of anything unnecessary

With small children it’s easy to hold onto unnecessary objects and toys. Go through the things you have at regular intervals and get rid of what’s no longer being used. Donate or give away toys in good condition that your children no longer use and organise a rotation system to avoid having too many toys in use at once. Hold on only to what’s essential, so as to keep your home tidier and free from clutter.

6. Create separate areas

Set aside a specific space for study and work at home. It could be a table in the living room or a corner of the bedroom. Make sure the space is equipped with everything that’s needed, such as a desk, a comfortable chair, stationery or bookshelves. Fostering an organised study environment will help your children focus and take an orderly approach to their activities.
