How to Declutter and Organise Every Room in Your Home
Bags on the floor, utensils crowding the counter, towels draped over every chair—clutter tends to build up in the same places. The good news is that small changes can make a big difference. By moving everyday items off floors and benchtops and making better use of your walls, you can create a home that feels calmer, tidier, and easier to live in. Whether you’re rearranging your entryway or organising your kitchen, Command™ products can help you make the most of every space.
Organise your entryway
Create a warmer and more welcoming entryway by ensuring it is organised and free of clutter. Keep the mess under control by assigning a spot for bags, caps, scarves, coats, or keys.
What to hang and how
Bags, coats, scarves, keys, caps. Hang them using Command™ General Purpose Hooks or Command™ Metal Hooks beside the door or on the back of the door.
Heavy bags and backpacks. Use the Command™ X-Large Utility Hook for heavier items.
Organise your kitchen
When kitchen surfaces are clear, cooking feels far less stressful. Storing frequently used items on the wall—rather than stuffing them into drawers or leaving them on the counter—makes your kitchen easier to cook in.
Hanging your kitchen towels
Keep your kitchen towels off the surface and within easy reach using Command™ General Purpose Hooks or Command™ Wet Area Towel Hooks. Place them inside cabinet doors, on the side of your kitchen island, or even near the sink.

Clearing your counter and pantry space
Maximising your vertical space is the fastest way to declutter your kitchen and clear counter space. Wall hooks can hang the following:
- Utensils, ladles, and tongs
- Chopping boards
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Pot holders and oven mitts
- Aprons
- Reusable shopping bags
Organise your bedroom
Minimise the mess in your bedroom. Items left on the floor or draped over furniture disrupt the sense of calm a bedroom should have. Wall hooks can keep things organised without adding extra furniture or a new layout. Learn more about organising your bedroom.
What to hang in the bedroom
Jewellery, belts, caps, and small accessories. Place Command™ General Purpose Hooks inside wardrobe doors to keep them visible and tangle-free.
Decorative items. Use wall hooks to display string lights, floral garlands, and other ornaments.
Heavy bags and backpacks. Use the Command™ X-Large Utility Hook, which can hold up to 4.5 kg.

Organise your home office
Tangled cords, cluttered desks, and disorganised files? It’s hard to work and stay productive when there’s mess around you. A few simple changes can make your home office more organised:
Cables and cords. Command™ Cord Organisers route cables neatly along walls and desk edges to prevent tangles behind the desk.
Bags and gear. Reduce desk clutter by hanging work bags, headphones, and tech accessories on wall hooks rather than placing them on the desk or floor.
Documents and mail. A small caddy or letter holder mounted on a Command™ hook keeps documents off the desk and easy to find.

Organise your laundry room and garage
Storage areas, garages, or laundry rooms often get overlooked as they’re typically out of sight. However, you can still make these spaces more organised. Some tips:
Brooms and mops. The Command™ Broom Gripper mounts to the wall and holds brooms and mops vertically, freeing up the floor and making them easier to grab when needed.
Laundry bags and cleaning supplies. Hang a laundry bag using heavy-duty hooks to keep it off the floor and easy to fill. You can also use Command™ General Purpose Hooks for aprons and utility gloves.

- Store your soap with the Command™ Satin Nickel Soap Dish, which can be positioned at different heights and can stick to glass, tile, and painted surfaces.
- Free up your countertop and floor space by storing your toiletries on the wall using the Command™ Adhesive Bath Caddy Holder. You can also keep toothbrushes and razors organised with the Command™ Toothbrush/Razor Holder.
