The Popularity of Home Organization in 2023

If there is one thing that spending more time at home has taught us is that we have way too much stuff. Or maybe we have more stuff because we were forced to spend more time at home for almost two years. Home organization is a trend in 2023 that most furniture retailers have noted. We’re not only going to discuss why this is a popular trend, but we’re also going to give you a few suggestions about how to get your home organized. 

Why is Home Organization Popular This Year

Without polling individual homeowners and renters, it would be impossible to provide an accurate answer, but we can create a few sound hypotheses about the subject.

Increased Online Shopping

It doesn’t take a team of statisticians and market researchers to tell you that online shopping has been on the rise. When people can’t dine out, go to shows, or attend sporting events, their discretionary money goes into buying home consumer goods. People need space to store their gaming systems and home gym equipment. 

The Price of Real Estate

Skyrocketing housing prices have forced people to reconsider the size of the space they need to be comfortable. Moving one's belongings to a smaller place makes one ponder the question, “Where am I going to put all of these things?”

The Popularity of Decorating Trends on Social Media

There was a time when most people were only exposed to professionally decorated homes when they were watching television or standing in front of decorating magazines while waiting to check out at the grocery store. Trendy platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, and, more recently, TikTok have piqued our collective interest in interior decorating by steering us to content that shows gorgeous living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, dining rooms, etc. 

How to Get Organized in 2023

If you’re reading this article, it’s probably because you really want to organize your space. You’ve probably already cleared out your CD towers and gotten rid of obsolete VHS players, but what remains, you want to keep. Here are some tips for organizing your space. 

Credenzas, Side Boards, and Closed TV Consoles 

There are few things more beneficial when you’re trying to create hidden storage than a cabinet — even better when that cabinet includes features like adjustable shelves and cable management. Introducing a closed console to your living room or a sideboard to your dining room gives you the spare storage you need to stow items that don’t need to be out every day. 

Additionally, it provides surface area for more displayable items. The Axiom Contemporary Buffet by Bernhardt is a beautiful two-toned piece with textured surfaces, adjustable shelves, and two hidden drawers in the center compartment. It also comes with a serving tray, as you can see here under the wine service.

The layout of this piece will give you numerous organizational options. 

Shelving Units For Vertical Storage 

Shelving units can be extremely helpful when you’re trying to get organized. Additionally, you can find relatively narrow bookcases and shelving units that mount to the wall for enhanced stability. You can put an attractive piece in your bedroom, living room, hallway, home office, or any nook in the home where it will fit. 

We love multipurpose shelving units like the Sligh Greystone Octavia File Chest and Deck, which has deep drawers that can accommodate standard and legal files and an LED-lit hutch with elegant glass shelves. This is perfect for an upscale home office. The top drawer even locks to ensure your security and privacy.

Curio Cabinets for Displayable Items

If you love to accumulate collectibles or you have objets d’art scattered about your space, a curio cabinet may be the answer to your organizational woes. Curio cabinets allow you to display items in a well-lit, confined space. They have the additional benefit of preventing people from picking up delicate items to examine them. If you have expensive china, it’s nice to be able to put it on display even when you’re not serving dinner. 

Look at how amazing this china looks in the Arch Salvage Gwynn Curio Cabinet by A.R.T. Furniture. There’s even a touch-lit chandelier inside!

Final Tips for Home Organization

If you’re serious about putting your home in order, here are a few tips to help you stick the landing:

• Decluttering is a must
• Do a deep cleaning once you’re done
• Buy fewer small items and save your money for high-quality impact pieces
• If you’re replacing furniture, shop at a high-quality furniture retailer near you.
