Keep in mind the existing storage available

This way you would know how and where you can put things and if you decide to invest on something, is it really required or would it fit in your home.

Disposing away things you don’t require

Cleaning the house is totally incomplete if you don’t get rid of things that are now redundant for you. Sometimes you won’t even realize how much clutter was lying around you and making your house shabby when it wasn’t even needed in your house in the first place.

If it is the kitchen, you should stick to organizing it first. (You can get some help organizing your kitchen with some more storage solutions here.) While if it is the living room, maybe a mini revamp is required or if it is the bedroom maybe a wardrobe re-organisation could help.
