We've all been there, a few hectic days at work, deadlines, family responsibilities and we just haven't had the time to declutter and organise our homes. But, with the help of homify, you can now tidy your interior in 15 minutes or less. Granted, this is just to clean your home from simple clutter, although we all need to begin somewhere. Let's take a look at these 10 tips and tricks.

1. Storage

Plan your kitchen drawers to be stylish, utilising those hidden corners to ensure its efficiently organised.

2. Make up your bed

Your mom was right, make up your bed and tidy your room before your leave every morning. This will allow you to come home to a neat and comfortable room after work.

3. Empty the bins

Those bills and papers piled up in your bin will definitely let your office look untidy and disorganised. Be sure to empty them every morning, so you aren't reminded of your binge on sweets and chips throughout the day.

4. Put them away

 Place your books back where they belong, do this at the end of every day.

5. Kitchen counters

Clean and clear kitchen counters are essential for a tidier home. Work on old newspaper to make it easier to dispose of dirt and then wipe down your counters after preparing a meal.

6. No dirty dishes

Wash those dirty dishes after a meal. Don't let them pile up at the end over two or three days, it's a bad habit.

7. Bespoke furniture

Get furniture that fits your space, even if it means the bespoke option.

8. Closet

Store your clothing in an unused room and create your own fancy walk-in closet.

9. Fix your pillows

Fix or pillows after you get up, your living room will remain tidy and inviting, perfect for those days when you get unexpected visitors.

10. Clean out the cupboard
