The first step in organizing the family room is to stop and think about what you do in this space.
- Who uses the space?
- How often?
- What activities do you do there?
- What do you need to STORE here?
- Do you still watch DVDs or do you stream your entertainment?
When can you realistically move the kids’ toys out of the family room?
- If your youngest child is in 2nd grade, it is OK to move all the toys out of the family room.
- If your youngest child is in middle school, all their toys can be in their bedroom. 🙂
Steps to Organizing The Family Room
1. Pick up all trash.
2. Collect all food, dishes, and dirty laundry.
3. Scan the room and fill a bag with any easily identifiable items.
4. Go through all the storage spaces and declutter.
5. Have each family member pick ONE hobby to have in the family room. {The rest need to go into their bedrooms.}
6. On Sunday, clean up ALL hobbies and go back to ONE per family member.
