Suggestions for a Safer, Even more Organized Home

October 13, 2016 by Nick & Cindy Davis

Ergonomics is a major trend in the working world. Small changes in the ergonomics of the workplace decrease the risk of serious falls, back pain, and joint injuries. The same is true in your own home, especially in three common home ergonomic warning zones: the kitchen, bathroom, and garage or attic. Here are some organization suggestions to extend exactly the same degree of health safety into your home life, whether you’re a senior citizen or a senior in college.

Suggestions for a Safer, Even more Organized Home

Suggestions for a Safer, Even more Organized Home

Kitchen
Your kitchen is loaded with shelves and cabinets that happen to be just waiting to be organized. Your cooking prep will be easier and safer and never having to search through drawers or take heavy items off of shelves.Use a Lazy Susan. Positioned in corner cabinets, Lazy Susans can utilize those hard-to-reach areas. Put one in your fridge and you can spin what you need to the front where you can easily grab it.
Use a step stool and grab claw. When living alone, don’t take the risk of climbing on your counters. Using a step stool and a grab claw, everything is going to be available.
Organize your cabinets. Only use your gravy boat once per year? There’s no reason to have it front and center. Store it off to the side or in a cabinet with other less-frequently used items. Place the things you use daily right up front instead.
Use floating storage. Attach magnets to small jars and attach them to your fridge. Fill with spices and snacks for beautiful and convenient storage.

Bathroom

It’s tempting to stuff your toiletries and extra bathroom supplies into hard-to-reach cabinets. But include a wet, slippery floor to the mix, and reaching for more toilet paper turns into a dangerous activity.

With a little creativity, you may create easier accessible space for storage.

Hang tension rods in cabinets. For extra storage space, hang your spray bottles on tension rods set up inside cabinets. This will reduce the need to stuff your cabinets or shelves full of supplies.
Place a shower caddy inside the bathroom. A shower caddy hanging from the shower-head will help keep all your toiletries in one location and then leave the floor clear.
Use back-of-door space. A hanging shoe organizer may be used for more than merely shoes. They are perfect to keep toiletries and cleaning supplies.
Rearrange often-used items. Do you use it regularly? Put it front and center on the counter top. You should be able to reach the items you utilize all the time easily. Items used less often should go in your medicine cabinet.

Garage or attic

Garages and attics are notorious for being the most disorganized rooms of the home. Getting supplies from your attic usually requires lifting and digging through heavy boxes.

Decrease your risk of back strain with these reorganization tips.

Use clear bins with descriptive labels. With once glance you will be able to see what exactly you need and where it truly is. Forget about digging through every single box.
Organize by season. You would like to be able to access your winter decorations, but you only have to use them once a year. As soon as the holidays are over, group everything together and place them behind other seasonal things that you’ll use first.
Use toilet paper rolls. Need to store wrapping paper or unused power cords? Slide them in a toilet paper roll to keep them from tangling.
File important documents. Rather than stacking documents in boxes, use a filing cabinet or folder to maintain your important documents. Be sure to neatly order and label each folder.

Organized and safe

An arranged, ergonomic home reduces your chance of back strain, falls, and joint pain.

Your home really should be your sanctuary, not a danger to your health. You deserve to have everything that you need within safe and convenient reach. Let us know if we forgot anything. To leave us your suggestions simply click here
