Neat Things to Keep Your Home Organized; Saves Time & Space

How many of us would like stepping into our homes and find things messy and laying around; needing to navigate through the tiny space available for us to walk just to get to the couch and relax after a long, hard day of work? I can pretty much assume that not much of us would like it. And I can also presume that no teenagers would enjoy having their moms shouting at them to get their rooms cleaned up and properly organized!

We often face problems with keeping our house tidy and the need to create the wide space we crave in our homes. More often than not, these spaces are taken up by unnecessary things or things that are there just for one single function. So how about we start making our homes a tad bit tidier and a bit spacier with the help of a few innovative objects?

I’m pretty sure many of us know that IKEA has always been singing the praises of multifunctional furniture, so here is one that doubles up its function – the 2 Tier Shoe Storage Bench, by HappyHome.

Normally, a shoe rack is just a shoe rack, while a bench is just a bench by itself. This product, however, combines the two features together into a single innovative product, thus eliminating the need for two separate objects taking up your space. So with this, you can keep your shoes away while also using it as a bench when you put your shoes on (I doubt there’s a need for a stool anymore, yes?).

This is available in two different colours as shown in the picture above: dark brown and beige. It’s currently available for sale on Groupon starting from RM 159!  Ladies, if you’re in need of a place to store your shoes, go for this multifunctional one!

This is a neat innovation, the Steam Iron by OEM Malaysia. With this, it only makes the original heavy and bulky iron obsolete, so does the ironing board that takes up your space at home. This steam iron, just like its namesake, uses hot steam to iron your clothes. Although you may encounter some difficulties while using it the first few times, but in the long run its compact design and gradual ease of usage will definitely make you nod in agreement with its ability to help you save space, and also time without needing to set up your ironing board and the likes. It takes only seconds to heat up and with just a hanger and a place to hook your hanger, you’re good to go in removing those wrinkles off your clothes.

This product is available and currently on sale at Lazada, and is one of the selected items that gives CIMB card members an additional 10% off every weekend until 31^st December 2015. If you are agreeing that the bulky iron and ironing board takes up your place, then it’s about time you consider this! Good news: priced at RM 59.90 instead of RM90!

When you are at home and you just don’t have the mood to go out and eat, so you decide to stay home and cook. But there comes the troublesome part if your dish involves chopping some garlic or vegetables.

For me, and I suppose for many people out there, this SST Speedy Chopper is a real big kitchen helper. It saves you the time and hassle for not needing a knife and chopping board ready just to slowly and carefully chop those little garlic, or chives. With this, you just need to dump everything in, and start pulling on the white handle to let your kitchen assistant start its magic. In a couple of seconds or a minute tops, your garlic would have been chopped to tiny bits, and you can now start heating your cooking ware and start cooking. Done cooking? Enjoy your less-hassle dish!

Also available on Lazada, and CIMB card members are entitled to get additional 10% this item too! Priced only at RM 29.90 now, grab it and make it your handy kitchen assistant.

Who agrees that a bunch of tangled up wires and cables is an unsightly messy sight? I think it’s safe to assume that there are more raised hands or nodding heads than the opposite. Be it teenagers or adults, most of us are now using tons of electronic gadgets that come with wired charging plugs. Imagine having separate charging wires or cables for your smart phone, tablet, computer, and some other electronic gadgets, wouldn’t that be such a mess if you pile all of those cables or wires together at the same place? It does not only look unorganized, it is also time consuming figuring out which wire belongs to which device. Such a hassle, isn’t it?

So here’s another creative innovation created to solve the problems of messy, tangled cables – Cable Drop Clips, which is also produced by OEM Malaysia. As seen in the picture, the clip secures your cables firmly in place and prevents them from tangling together, thus leaving you with a tidier sight and less time wasted untangling and searching for the right wire. Also, its tiny design does not take up much space on desks. Another way would be to make use of the empty space on your wall by sticking these clips against the wall.

These adorable and useful clips are available on Lazada, do check them out if tangled cables pose a problem to you! For only RM 13.49, you get to solve that problem that has been bothering you.

When we fold our clothes, many of us must have thought of this: Sigh, so troublesome and tiring. It’s tiring in the sense that we need to move our arms so much to fold the clothes, and when we are fast, the clothes aren’t folded properly and end up looking ugly. When we fold slowly to make it look like they are on sale in some clothing retailers like Uniqlo, it is just so time consuming. What’s more important is that some of us just don’t have the skills in folding clothes neatly.

Is there a way to be fast and yet make the clothes look like they belong in retail stores as we fold? Yep, there certainly is a way, and it involves a handy tool. The Clothes Folder here does the trick of neatly folded clothes for you in a fast manner, just 4 steps and you’re done folding the piece of clothing in seconds. It helps save you time and convenience of folding clothes, and neatly at that. For a lot of youngsters needing to help their moms fold clothes or moms needing to fold clothes, this is quite an ideal solution to be fast yet hassle free while consuming less energy.

This nice handy house chore helper is available for sale on Lelong Malaysia, tons of sellers are selling these there, and you can certainly pick one that suits your desire.

Hopefully these products in this post can be the answers to your head-scratching problems of saving time, space, and keeping your home tidier.
