1.     Rearrange Your Furniture

Your space might be prone to messiness because of the layout. Recruit your partner, family members, or roommates to move around some furniture to make your living room flow better. You can break up the main room into two seating areas to create a cozier feel.

2.     Think Multipurpose

A lot of your existing furniture or decor accents can serve two (or more!) purposes. That ottoman can double as seating or a place to stack books. Or You can use chest as a coffee table, but can also store blankets and pillows.

3.     Place a Tray

A decorative tray will spruce up your space and provide a spot to corral items like your TV remote, books, magazines, and more.

4.     Put Your Coffee Table to Work

If there's a pile-up of magazines, books, and other miscellaneous items, it's time to toss the unnecessary items and stack the remaining items neatly on your coffee table. If your coffee table has a lower shelf, use it to store books or even baskets filled with loose items.

5.     Install Smart Shelving
