Ahead, we’ve found 11 items that’ll help you declutter your living space elegantly.

Tips for organizing your home in a stylish way
If you’d like to clear clutter out of your space, use these simple tricks to do so without infringing on the room’s aesthetic appeal.
Use multifunctional furniture
One of the best ways to conceal clutter is to conceal the storage bin right along with it. Try using multifunctional furniture that has hidden storage. For example, get a coffee table that doubles as a storage bin. You can stash pillows and blankets inside. Or, try substituting a nightstand with a small chest of drawers that allows you to stow your socks and underwear.
Use baskets
A basket is essentially an aesthetically pleasing storage bin. Neutral tones will work well in nearly any space — or you can use a bright item to add an intentional pop of color. Make sure to group items by category in your baskets (dedicate one basket to blankets, another to toys and so on) to avoid a cluttered look.
Use vertical space
Your home only has so much floor space, so if you feel like you’re running out of room, think upwards. Use storage pieces that go up the wall to make use of all of your available space. For example, you can hang accessories on walls or shelves, or use a bookshelf as a room divider.
