All hair products together, all paper goods together, all office supplies together, all cleaning supplies together. 2) Assign one home for each grouping of items. Spaces begin to feel cluttered when you find the same item strewn about in different areas. Rather than having hair products in your bathroom and your bedroom, try to keep them all in your bathroom. Allocate one area for each grouping and you’ll always know where to find what you’re looking for. (There’s one exception to the rule, and this is when it comes to backstock.
