We caught up with Zen Home to uncover their expert tips whether you’re working with cozy city square footage or enjoying the space of suburban life. Here are a few of their go-to tips that delve deeper into smart organization, and how it can make any home feel more open, peaceful, and polished.

Organize by Height & Face Labels Forward  

Grouping items — especially in pantries, bathroom cabinets, or on open shelves — by height with labels facing forward instantly creates a more streamlined, tidy appearance. This simple trick gives the illusion of a cleaner and more curated space.  

Color-Code Your Closet  

Hanging clothes by color not only makes your closet look neater, it also makes getting dressed feel like shopping in your own boutique. Bonus: it helps you see what you actually wear and what’s just taking up space.  

Use Vertical Space Wisely  

Maximize wall space with shelves, hooks, or hanging organizers. In smaller city apartments especially, going vertical frees up floor space and keeps clutter off surfaces.  

Keep Like with Like  

Group similar items together — whether it's cleaning supplies, office tools, or skincare products. This not only makes things easier to find but also helps you avoid overbuying duplicates.  

Clear Containers = Calm Mind

Transparent bins in the fridge, pantry, or under sinks help you see what you have at a glance — promoting better habits and reducing waste. Labeling these containers takes it to the next level.  

Create Drop Zones 

Designate small spaces for essentials like keys, mail, and bags. In both city and suburban homes, this keeps everyday clutter from spreading throughout the house.  

At Zen Home, we believe a well-organized home isn't just functional — it brings a sense of calm and clarity to everyday life.
