We all have battles with clutter and staying organized. And in the springtime, people seem to be the most interested in getting organized and getting rid of clutter. However, window film can help you stay organized and clutter-free. Before you start yelling that it isn’t so, take a look at some ideas that have helped our clients maintain their sanity.
Hide kitchen clutter
Someday in the distant future your life won’t be filled with mismatched coffee cups, sippy cups, and that weird Christmas set your auntie gave you and you have to haul out during the holidays. Perhaps you are even praying for that day. But guess what? You can hide all that stuff now with window film! Fix that clutter problem instantly! By the way, we’ve discussed clutter before: Fight Clutter.
Replace curtains with window film
Aren’t curtains a little bit 1995? Why not simply replace those outdated eyesores with window film? There is less to clean and window film won’t collect dust like curtains or shutters do. Less is more, right? Also, there’s one less decision to make if you don’t have to pick out the colors, textures, etc., of the curtains.
Use gradient window film
Gradient window film is great if you want to block part of a view–maybe the part with the clutter? Your friends and neighbors don’t ever have to know what you’ve got going on in that storage room if you cover the glass wall with window film! Gradient window film can transition from opaque to completely transparent, in case you want to keep some of the view. See our recent post about gradient window film.
Soften the light
No matter how much clutter you have or don’t have, softening the light coming in through your windows will help. We recommend an opaque window film to soften the light. We also have beautiful decorative window film that you will absolutely love! 3M has a window film simulator so you can see how different window films might look in your home or office.
Colorful window film adds an element of fun
Did you know that window film now comes in a variety of colors? In fact, you might want to try color blocking. You could go with warm or cool tones in window film. You could also add both, but since this article is about having less clutter, we’ll leave that idea for another day.
Combine curation with window film
If you can pare down your belongings plus add window film, that’s the best combination of all. Of course, you might need to hire a professional organizer, but you’ll have so much less clutter! You might like this article about Open Shelving Mistakes from Homes and Gardens, too.
