- How to reduce visual clutter. Tips for easy organising and decorating.
Simplest way to reduce the clutter is is by having less. For sure it's easier to clean the surfaces with nothing on them, but it's not like the way it goes in the real life. We still have right to possess various things, on the other hand even the greatest ones splashed all over the places making not the best statement. Especially those what are regularly in use. Therefore we have to give them a permanent address in our home which has to accomplish two missions: to be easy for reach out and to rest the eye. We are using various boxes, baskets, containers or plates to organize those the most frequently used things around the house. Some we bought and the others repurposed or adjusted with a little diy and today I am sharing how exactly.

Loved it when you said that it takes the same energy whether you put the thing in the right place or wrong. Brilliant ! Hanging the saying on a wall for my kids to read 😅
Awww, Madiha, it’s so sweet of you! Just write underneath the name of somebody your kids following for even better result 😆
@@JolitaBartkus now there's an idea! 😂
Wonderful video, thank you! I also love this idea of spending the energy doing the correct thing, your future self will thank you. I live by thinking of my future self and as such always completing the cycle of any activity.
As if it matters for kids...
They are master disorganisers..only few help in organising...
Thangamani pillai, I am not a mother, but still wondering how parents are often underestimating abilities of their own children. I assume, that you also were a kid once and if you learned how to keep the things in order, I suppose you can teach your children too. Or you think, they are not able?
Omg, round tray always remains straight. Never even thought of it though obvious. Thanks for the tip.
You are more than welcome!
Like Mary Poppins ❤️❤️❤️
Aww Norma, how cute!
Great one!
Me too! I love this :)
One of my favorite little tricks is I bought a little IKEA cutting board is maybe 5 x 7. Just enough to cut up a pepper and some onions you know for sauté. You don't need the big marble one. Or the massive cutting board. And I have been using baskets and trays forever to store stuff. I think I was ahead of my time when I was young and I didn't know because now I'm old. So I'm loving what the young people are doing now. Really is cool
That's a great idea!
Just get rid of stuff. That's my solution to getting rid of clutter. The stuff that I do have I use and is hidden out of sight if it's not decorative. Love your channel.
Yes, it's a great solution! And thank you!
Yes, "reduce" is the first part of "Reduce, reuse, recycle." I wouldn't have as many containers as Jolita has. But she illustrates how containers can be helpful in different situations, so that if you do have that situation, you can see how it would look.
Exactly! Less is better. Why keep items on counter? Get rid of some items. Create space.
This video makes me want to re-organize my entire house! I like these simple tips that make a huge difference! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
True me too
Trays..baskets...hide behind doors
Less things..easy to organize...
Keep declutturing frm
Time to time...that makes it easier becoz u wont pile up things then...keep some items carefully inside..so it wont add to v.clutter😀😊
Thangamani pillai, you're right, and this is exactly what I am doing ;)
Because you first show the wrong way and the struggle of people to fix it in a wrong way and then you show the right style and idea, it helps to understand and practically use these tips and ideas. Thanks.
My pleasure, Asiya! :)
I've been watching de-clutter videos for a few years and it's great to see some new tips - thank you! My additional tips are:
- fix an extension lead into a drawer by drilling a hole through the back so that you can put all your devices in the drawer to charge them
- have no brand names visible (eg put packets that are too big for cupboards into other containers and use elegant containers for eg olive oil and washing up liquid)
- keep surfaces clear and have a single colour scheme for things you must keep out
Great tips, TiaraHelen! Thank you!
I love baskets & bins... no plastic.
I am very disciplined to put things back after using.
ABSOLUTELY LESS IS MORE ! Nice tips.
Thank you Carol! Great minds think alike!
I love this, you give great tips about how to organize stuff without just saying to get rid of it. Love it.
Thank you, sure we need the things in our life to help ourselves and to enjoy. The number of items is a different topic 😉
This is incredible. I've had some aha moments myself putting things together in containers, but this video really demonstrates the effect it can have on visual clutter. Shes adding things to a cluttered area but it feels less cluttered. Great.
KevlnKobe, great minds think alike!:)
OMG! I thought that I was organized, until I saw this! I had to do a re-do! Your way is simply wonderful without; much effort! I love the calmness in the video! Evan the cat was calm!😎
Aww, that's really sweet! Thank you Cecilie, am so glad you found it useful :)
Loving the kitty!
First time watching - what a wonderful saying" just half a Song and its done ! 😀 I will say it to myself in future 🌻
Henna Gal, I am so glad you noticed it! 😊
Yes, I noticed and liked that too! :o)
@@JolitaBartkus this was the comment I was waiting to see acknowledged. Lol!
Your home is so calm and beautiful. I was inspired to make a trip to the thrift store where I found the perfect white tray for all the pottery items next to my sink which hold my dishsoap, hand soap, and cleaning brush. It never would have occurred to me, but wow, what a difference that makes. I'm already loving that those items stay put in one spot, and it is easy to clean the countertop by moving one tray rather than three items. I'm back to subscribe and say thank you from NC, USA! Looking forward to more videos.
Oh, Tricia, your comment made me so happy! I am so glad, that my video inspired you and believe you will enjoy your tray also in the future. Greetings from Luxembourg!
That's what's missing on my counter, a container for the soap and washcloths. I was looking for a metal soap bottle to replace the original plastic bottles, but really, a container would be better. I'll just have to look for one the right size.
You will like it, promise 🤞
Great tip about shopping trays and containers at thrift store!
This is such a great way to help when you are living with people with different organizing styles. These tips work for both the person who doesn't want to see clutter, and the person who needs to have their belongings easily visible and accessible.
Love, love, love these ideas! I have quite a few silverplate platters sitting unused in a buffet, which will now be pressed into service as organizing trays. And I’m always buying cute baskets at thrift stores. Many have not found their purpose yet but will now! Your video and your home are simply elegant. Thank you for this, I am today a new subscriber!
Thank you so much, Brenda! I love repurposing the things, good luck with your makeover!
Reducing visual clutter in this way is masterful. Your video has given me new ways to think about this. Thank you!
@Rosemary Carlson thank you and happy to help!
I like your idea of reducing clutter by "adding" a trays or baskets to group them. And that makes it even more decorative! Nice!
Thank you Jing S.! It’s a little bit of a paradox which actually works :)
Basically grouping everything on a large plate or a basket. Hehe.
I feel so grateful...friends have been giving me baskets, and I had no idea how to use them. 😎
@@63artemisia63 Definitely some true in your comment 👍
This is a wonderful way to hide containers and make the living space very clean and organized. Thank you so very much . I appreciate your time and energy on this video.
Thank you, Dania, you are so sweet!
Thanks for all those beautiful tips!!! What a wonderful lady you are. You have a very calm aura and it's really nice listening to you. This was the first video I watched if yours, now to watch the rest. Thank you:)
Aww Callie Rose, you are so sweet! I am happy, you liked it!
So simple and practical even I can do this. I hadn't thought of using trays to make several things have the effect of being 1 object. I do use baskets but hadn't considered using them by placing smaller containers in them. I'll definitely be using both of these tips. Now - to find the perfect round trays ...
I am so happy you enjoyed and find it useful! Good luck finding the right trays!
I love what you said about round plates or trays always being straight! So true!
I am so glad!
Thank you Jolita for showing how easy it is to achieve a tidy space simply. Loved the tip on putting shoes away in a bottom drawer. I will definitely be trying.
You're welcome, Julie! We have this dresser for the shoes only 😉
I agree! The round tray is a great idea.
It really is :)
“Life happens and we are not in the army.” 🤣😂
Isn't it, Julie? 😀
Yes, that was so cute. Love this channel. You have a valuable gift, Jolita. Thank you.
@Melissa De Soto, that's so sweet of you! Awww...
❤️ I Loved all your useful clutter free ideas, especially how you organized your kitchen knives in that ceramic jar full of wooden kabob sticks it looks modern, clean & kinda of a high end look too! I Love it!! 💕 I've been trying to look for that perfect wooden knife organizer, but I'm so happy I watched your channel❤️😊 Thanks again for all your great clutter free ideas👍
My pleasure, Olga! If you will do this kind of DIY, my tip: don't fill the canister too tide with the skewers, because it will be difficult to insert the knives. And you have to take everything out for clean time after time, because the skewers are shedding and some sort of dust is forming on the bottom of the canister. 😊
Oh god this was a simple and beautiful video. Thanks for the content. PS.: Your little 🐈 so calm in bed was the perfect final to me. Congratulations!!!
Aww, thank you for this lovely comment. Yes, I love to film our cat, it’s probably already obvious, haha!
Your ideas are so simple yet with such a big impact! They are so clever! Thank you for such a well done video, clearly presented, you make the mundane look beautiful.
Thank you Hellen! I am so happy you found it useful.
I like the shoe storage tip in the dresser and I like the dish washing utensils caddy! Thank you!!
@Shannon Hoida, you're welcome!
Ohh!! I love what you did with the dish scrubbers. Made it look as though it is decor!
Thank you! Some practical decor;)
Love it so much! Thanks for sharing these great decluttering ideas. These will help us so much in keeping our house organized. Looking forward to seeing more of your jouse decluttering and organizing ideas. Keep posting!
@Bb Ley, my pleasure and thank you for watching!
Finally someone who doesn’t like clutter but, is realistic about having certain things out to make life less stressful. Loved your video 👍👍👍
Thank you, R R!
I just discovered your channel. It’s just beautiful! I look forward to watching more of your videos. 🌺🌸🌺🌸
@85 Litsa thank you!
I really dislike visual clutter and I like symmetry in my decor. I’m more inclined to put things in cupboards and drawers though. It works for me because I keep my cabinets organized, so it’s not hard to find what I need quickly. I really like your tip of using round trays because they’re always straight. That’s actually brilliant. I’m forever straightening things.
Me too, forever strighterener, haha!
I love the acrylic organizers they do magic. Specially the perfume stand since I always feel proud to my so many perfumes organized on only one side of my dressing
I'm definitely considering the tray next to the sink with the plant idea. And the round trays always stays straight - genius. Thanks.
You're welcome! 😊
Thank you for all the tips and your voice is so soft and calm.
Aww, it's so sweet of you!
Yes. It takes the same time to put the things in the right place as for the wrong place
Love this video! So calming. Love the way you put things like your coffee maker out. Who wants to always be digging in cabinets for things one uses all the time. Same with dishwashing stuff. Your extra blankets are very pretty. Christmas decorations look really pretty that way.
Thank you, Diana! I am so happy you enjoyed it!
I’m so glad TH-cam put you in front of me! Thank you, you are lovely and your ideas are so helpful!
Me too, I am so glad you enjoyed! 😊
Thank you, the basket/tray idea really works, I didn't discard a single item but my tables now look so much less cluttered
You are so welcome!
Hey I just discovered this video and I absolutely love it! I have a huge supply of trays and baskets that I’m not using. These tips are great. Thanks for the kitty cat at the end ❤️. Now I’m going to watch a few of your other videos before I start tidying the place.
Awww... my pleasure, S Premier! And happy tidying up 😊
This is a fantastic summary of how to make your home look appealing whilst still being practical and organised.
Thank you, Janet!
I especially like your holder for your needed cables and chargers. I had never thought of doing that. Thanks for sharing this idea as well as the many other excellent ideas in this video!
Hi Sheryl, you mean that box with dividers? We are having it for several years like this, it’s truly handy :)
Thanks for the round tray idea!!! It’s always straight! Mindblowing ❤️❤️❤️
You're welcome, Vania! 😊
Your video is beautifully put together, calming, & encouraging. Thank you. I learned what to shop for in order to help group items.
Thank you, Elizabeth, glad it was helpful!
Excellent! I also decided to have a basket ir box for objects that I need to fix, until I can actually fix them. The plants on the trays are a fantastic touch! They always make everything better. Smaller containers into bigger ones is great.
I am so glad you found it useful! Thank you 😊
These tips are simple yet effective. Can't wait to put them to good use 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
You're so welcome!
Loved your alternative knife block. Much neater and more attractive than you can buy in the shops
Thank you Liz! If you going to make one, you have to remember to remove (not need to replace) all the skewers time after time and give a good clean to container, because the knives sort of shaving the skewers and you get quite some dust on the bottom;)
I am so happy for you that your video blew up! 🤗🤗 I know my time will come too, this is so exciting to see!! 🤗
Mumma kat, thank you!!! Looking forward for your turn! 😊
It was delightful to come across your video yesterday! After enduring 6 tedious months in Lockdown, living and working from home in Melbourne (Australia), your simple, elegant ideas have provided some much-needed motivation on how to refresh our environment. Your calm, gentle voice is like a balm for the soul. Thank you!
Aww Lisa, you are so sweet! I am so glad you’ve enjoyed!
How am I just seeing this amazing video now? Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks! Well done
Better later than never 😀 Thank you too, Jen!
Greetings for the U.S. I just found your channel and appreciate these great tips. Some of them I already do, but I also got some ideas for other areas of my home.
Thank you! I am so happy to know it’s useful :) and greetings from Luxembourg!
oh my i have never seen shoes in a drawer in my life but i kinda LOVE that idea!! Your videos are really well made Jolita!! ❤️
Thank you, Carla! I never liked those traditional shoe racks, lol. It's just one thing which is not convenient with the drawers- you can't store the shoes right away, they have to be aired before. But on the other hand, it's also a positive thing for shoes 😀
Great video! I love to corral items in trays and bins too, and find that it is easier on the eye if they are all white or cream. To me, natural fiber baskets just can’t be cleaned as well as a hard surface can, and wire baskets just give me the heebie-jeebies. Also, it is so much easier to clean your surfaces if you just move a tray out of the way, clean the surface, clean the tray and contents, and then put it back. When it looks like you made an effort at organization and beautification, others seem to not want to mess up your good work. Win-win.
True, Melissa! That's a way keep everything neat, organized, decorative and easy to clean.
Very nice tips. I have been using trays to organize and I like your ideas of using baskets too. Thank you.
Thank you Francesca, I am so glad you enjoyed!
The best video so far 🤗🤗
Love from India 🤗🙏
Oh, thank you! 😊
Thanks for stopping to my channel! Today I am sharing my recommendations on how to control visual clutter. Have you also some tips, what’s working the best for you? I would be curious to know it. Btw, Christmas decor preview is from 7:24
Thank you for this video it was very appealing visually. Some of the tips gave me good ideas. I can't use them all, especially all the ones with containers.
Putting small things in containers means they take up much more space and I have very little storage space. Also, I would have to buy many extra containers and I want to avoid buying more stuff.
So I'll make do with what I have and trying to group things together in uneven numbers, cause that is a genius tip. I also might cut out some round place mats instead of the round tray that I don't have, because round is always straight. ;-) If you have more tips like that that also help when storage space is a problem, I would be grateful. :)
@Hedera Helix, great idea with the placemats! Containers or boxes are really good solution for storing the things, especially those not possible to stack up, but I can understand that you don't want to bring even more things into your space, I am also rather removing than adding. Will think about some tips for small living spaces.
What a difference a tray or basket makes!! Looks great! TYFS. From the Southern California desert, MK 💗🌞🌵
It's true, it's like before moving into a house, when you having all the boxes in front yard. And what a difference it makes when all the boxes are in the house and the yard is clutter free:)
This video is worth a thumbs up just for your kitty alone! ❤️
I really like your channel, lovely style and clutter free tips
Thank you so much!
Thank you, love your mindfulness, just stumbled across you, but I'm staying😊
Aww, thank you, you are more than welcome!
Me too!! (✿^‿^)
You are welcome! 😊
I love these ideas! What a difference it makes to group things in a basket.
This was so helpful! Can’t wait to go sort out my visual spaces now
So glad!
Hello Jolita! I just watched your "How to Reduce Visual Clutter" video and immediately subscribed. Thank you for many useful tips! Sending sunshine from Miami. 😎
Oh, Marsha, I am so glad you did! Thank you also for the sunshine, it's exactly what I am needing right now. 😊
Yes, after watching this video, I also subscribed. :-)
Jolita, thank you for doing this video! I went and got some trays yesterday for in my kitchen and it made such a difference! I am standing in my kitchen now and am so grateful. It looks and feels amazing. Thanks again and looking forward to more 😃
Thank you, Abby! I am so happy to know it! 😊
Loved ur ideas...it s actually the visual clutter that that defeats the result of organization..I had actually felt that I had got my home organized after the tedious lockdown period when everybody was at home, but I now realize that I can still improve my home in many areas...
@Farzana Rasheed Ash, thank you! I think, organising, decorating and decluttering are never ending processes and I am so glad you found some useful ideas 😊
Good morning ☀️ I just discovered your channel while having my coffee and thinking how much “stuff” I have in my kitchen. Love your calm voice and everything about your place. Very short and to the point and amazing ideas, but mostly your clever way of saying thing. Much love from your new subscriber here in NJ 🇺🇸❤️
Welcome Zina!!
I love the baskets especially for a coffee station.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your all tips.please give some idea for organising kids crafts & lots of shoes...
Thank you! Unfortunately we haven't children, so I am not qualified in giving advice on this, but sure you can find some great mom's or dad's here on TH-cam with their tips and tricks. The best of luck to you and your family!
@@JolitaBartkus Thanks a lot...🙂
Love the ideas in this video. So workable.
Love all ideas! And your sense! So beautiful and comfortable!
I am so glad you enjoyed!
Now I want a round tray for my coffee table!
Could it be an idea for Christmas?
@@JolitaBartkus If I hadn't already bought myself a few Christmas presents already, then yes, haha :D
Then put it on a wish list ;)
Some great ideas. Thank you. I think your cat needs to be in a basket or on a tray rather than cluttering up the bed 😉
Haha, Sarah, thank you! I’ll talk to cat ;)
😅
Haha ,you are funny . I like that 😀 .
😀
OMG... your tip that the round tray always remains straight was such an eyeopener! Thank you! Going to get add a couple round trays to my Amazon cart! Thank you, Jolita!!!
You're welcome!
I just loved your Coffee station. So neatly arranged & visually appealing too.
Thank you!
I just leave the house or go to sleep. Clutter gone.
Ha!
Until you get back into the living room 🤣
What is the name of the table lamp you are displaying? Love it!
Hi Maria, the lamp is called Setago, mushroom to go, I've linked it in the description box of this video: th-cam.com/video/plJLfb3wZFQ/w-d-xo.html
Great video! Thanks for sharing your streamlined decluttering ideas.
You are so welcome!
Ahhh very calming.Once our kitchen is done...I promise I will tidy up like this.
I am happy to help!
even if you live in a modern house with minimalist look, if your mind is a mess, you will never feel great.
Yes, a great point. But also other way around. Order at home helps a lot keeping clear mind.
I think the color palett is important.
No loud colors or big patterns . If the colors are "soft" , just a few and as "natural" as possible It calms the eyes.
Good an fitting lighting is also important.
Thank you! It’s very useful tip!
This was amazingly helpful and made so much sense in such a fresh and new way for me!
Thank you Tammy, I am so glad you enjoyed!
What a collection of lovely ideas. They are so simple too.
Thanks so much 😊
Just half a song and its done, love that phrase, I enjoyed so much your video, watching from Mexico.
Thank you so much Guadalupe, I am so glad you enjoyed!
Take 3 items, put on a platter and now it looks visually as 1 item....our minds are crazy. I have got to use this trick more. I have so many small things I love but my home looks like a curio shop. Thanks for reiterating this important decluttering idea. Need to get more cool platters, plates and trays. Awesome video!
Our minds are wonderful just we have to help them sometimes 😊 Have fun with regrouping your favourite items!
Jolita beautiful video, thank you so much for the great ideas!
Thank you!! You're welcome!
Thanks so much for those ideas, it's amazing how you used the right baskets and a neutral shade, to reduce visible clutter.
You're welcome, Usha!
I love this video! Your tips are so practical. Thank you!
Thank you, Jeannette!
I really struggle with reducing visual noise but also keeping things available where others can find them and not having my home look empty and sterile. The trays and baskets with item of varying heights and then a little piece of decor or a plant really makes a huge difference!
Becca, it really does!
This is very clever. Thank you!
I keep going back to this video, I love it so much ❤
Aw maecalle, this is really so sweet of you! 😊
Such amazing advice ❤️ thanks for sharing (and helping me!) 😁
You are welcome, Shelby!
What a difference putting items in a basket or container. Enjoyed this video. Creative way you put it together and you have a beautiful voice. Easy on the ears. Thanks and hello from Tennessee in US.
Aww, you are so sweet! Greetings from Luxembourg!
Love these ideas
Cables. Finally someone who hinges cables! So agree with your examples. Even if you don’t have place to hind shoes away - having them be one spot tidily by the door makes it “appear organized. Everything with the grouping.....thank you for saying it. Going to have my family watch this to understand what is running around in my brain.
Oh thank you! I hope, your family also will find it helpful:)
Really love this
Very helpful ideas, thanks!
Actual good tips for visual clutter..Thanks!
You're welcome, Taja!
Loved this video and your tray idea! My way to reduce visual clutter is to put away everything I can or use infrequently. I have a coffee maker on the counter, plant and olive oil. I will try your nice round tray idea tomorrow! Thanks again
Thank you Sandra! And great attitude!
