Organize Your Home Inventory - Now is the Time!

In this time of fires, natural disasters and burglaries it is never to soon to document your home's belongings. You will have to know this information if you ever plan to file an insurance claim. The normal thought is that "it won't happen to me". That is what the victims of Katrina, the tornados in Oklahoma, Kansas & Tennessee, fires in Florida and the flooding in North Dakota & Minnesota thought.

You have heard the old saying, "it is better to be safe than sorry" and it holds true in these instances. Do you have records that you can grab in case of a fire or natural disaster? I will guarantee you that between 60% and 90% will say 'no'. Organizing your records can be done by you, but do you know where to start. Do you have the time? There are small businesses that perform these services for consumers.

Don't wait until disaster affects you, Prepare Today!

  2. Reduce the clutter! This is a typical problem with small spaces and the quickest to fix. Move everything out of the room and start bringing them back in one at a time until it's perfect for you.
  3. Use large scale items in a small room. Using a few larger pieces helps reduce clutter. The same goes for the artwork. Hang one big painting instead of small collections.
  4. Keep your windows and slick surfaces sparkling clean. the clean reflection will make a room look brighter, fresher and larger.
  5. Paint one wall a deep rich color to add depth to your room. Leave the other walls all the same color. For example all white or a much lighter version of the color used on your wall of focal point.
  6. Finally, remember to use double duty items in the room. If you have a chest of drawers this can hold a TV and your magazines or games. A futon sofa can double as a guest room, and a pine chest can be used as a coffee table and also storage for linens.

Another option is the select a painting is to choose art that has muted colors, black and white art or artwork that is framed that mutes its color impact on the decor.
