•A big room can serve multiple functions. Breaking the room into zones can help you keep each of the areas clean.

•When redoing a room, remember to keep its main purpose in mind. Design is important, but if it doesn’t serve the room's principal function, you'll end up with a waste of space.

•If you have shoes or accessories that go with a certain outfit, keep them in a bag and tie it to the hanger the outfit is on. You’ll never waste time looking for those shoes again.

•Don’t try to hide clutter on high shelves or behind a door; get your own Clean Sweep going, and send the mess out of your house for good.
