As the summer comes to an end, the hustle and bustle of social plans doesn’t slow down as the new school year and autumn sports roll in. We know it can be difficult to manage Back to School events, finishing homework, tryouts, practices… the list goes on. As a result, staying organized is essential to avoid feeling overwhelmed and forgetting important things. Here at FlipGive, we have partnered with Walmart to compile some strategies and tips for keeping your house organized, so you have a home base that is practical and conducive to your busy lifestyle.

Walmart has a plethora of products for improving home organization. Inexpensive and effective are two terms that you do not often hear together in relation to storage solutions. But don’t fret! Walmart changes the game with storage methods that are affordable and practical. For instance, if you have too many shoes at your front door (but you need them everyday for practice), you may be interested in a shelving unit with bins to mask the clutter, but still allow you to have easy access. Walmart also has a vast selection of organizers for your closet and drawers to amp-up your wardrobe. Just because your clothes are hidden, doesn’t mean it’s pointless to be coordinated! Or, if you are currently unable to employ under-the-bed storage, you may want to upgrade your bed frame to take advantage of the available space. Walmart has a plethora of bed frames that do not require a box spring or break the bank. Walmart has a broad range of storage solutions in all shapes and sizes for all of your home organization needs.

Another way to improve your home organization is to make use of multi-purpose decor! Adding decor increases the visual appearance and aesthetic of your home, but by incorporating decor that also provides a function, you can improve the organization of your home in style. Wall space is often overlooked, but it’s an available resource that has a lot of potential. Adding shelves to your walls not only spices up empty walls, but offers potential storage that would otherwise take up floor space. Mirrors with storage built-in are another example of decor that provides visual value as well as purpose. Furthermore, upgrading to a cute laundry hamper will conceal your pile of laundry while also adding a decorative accent to your room. Lastly, storage benches can be very effective for storing larger items, while also providing seating and embellishing your space.

It’s often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home. If your family spends a lot of time in the kitchen (especially a family full of young, hungry athletes!), you’ll want to make sure you have all the tools you need to keep on top of family meals. Walmart has everything you need to accomplish quick and healthy meals, while maintaining an organized space and affordable price. You don’t have to break the bank to simplify your kitchen routine. Appliances like air fryers, slow cookers and panini presses (and more!) allow you to create tasty and straightforward meals. When you’re super busy, uncomplicated meals are your best friend.

Walmart also has you covered for all of your everyday essentials! Running errands is the last thing you want to do after school, work, social, and extracurricular commitments, so it’s much simpler if you can accomplish your needs at one location. Good news, Walmart is here for the rescue. Whether you’re looking for groceries, clothing, toiletries, tools, sports equipment, or school supplies, Walmart has it all (and all at a reasonable price!).
