Decluttering Hacks for Your Living Space

Staying in a vibrant co-living space is an amazing experience, but keeping things organised in a shared living environment can sometimes be challenging. This is where we come in with clever decluttering hacks to help you transform your Dash Living room into an organised haven!

1. Maximise the power of freestanding storage

Since floor space is precious, switch to vertical storage options instead! You can even maximise these options without harming the walls by utilising freestanding shelving units, leaning shelves, or tension rod shelving. With those, you can create storage space for books, baskets, plants, or anything that can be stored off the ground.

2. Extra storage is your friend

Living in a co-living space often means getting creative with storage. While our Dash Living properties provide thoughtfully designed spaces, you might consider investing in additional storage solutions to store your huge items! Here are a few businesses in Singapore that offer storage solutions:

Storefriendly (10 Jalan Kilang Timor #01-01 Storefriendly Bukit Merah, Singapore 159306)
Lock + Store (10C Jln Ampas #03-02, Singapore 329513)
StorHub Self Storage (26 Kallang Ave, Singapore 339417)

3. Embrace the art of categorisation

Divide your belongings into categories and assign designated storage areas. Use clear containers for easy identification and avoid the ‘mystery box’ syndrome, which is the tendency to accumulate containers that you can’t remember the contents of. By labeling your containers, it’s also easier to sort new items into the container they belong in, saving yourself time and frustration in the long run!

4. Utilise hidden storage solutions

Get creative with unused nooks and crannies! Check if your co-living space has under-the-bed storage containers, utilise over-the-door organisers, or add a hanging shoe rack for additional storage. These solutions give you more storage space without taking up more of your living space!

5. The one-year rule

Be honest to yourself when tidying up your room – have you used something in the past year? If not, consider donating, selling, or recycling it. This simple one-year rule can free up a lot of space (especially if you’re a hoarder like us!).

Lastly, remember to schedule regular decluttering sessions to prevent clutter from creeping back in. A short, dedicated 15 minutes a week to tidy up or donate unused items can help a bunch!
