The coffee table is quickly becoming the centerpiece of many family rooms, which naturally makes it a magnet for clutter. It is amazing how much junk can accumulate on a cocktail table. Here are four ideas to help you begin to control your cluttered couch table.
- Control Your Remotes. Do not let your remotes control you. Chances are one of your remotes could control all your devices, if it was properly programmed. Even if that proved to be too difficult, there are several universal remote controls on the market now that let you set them up using your computer, and are very user friendly. Eliminating the collection of remotes most people have can go a long way to clearing the clutter.
- Find Alternative Storage. Some items, like magazines or books may be able to find an alternative location in the room, such as a bookshelf, or a magazine rack. Mail should never be left on the coffee table, as important documents may get lost in the clutter. Several coffee table designs now include built in storage, and lift up tops. These table designs could be ideal to store often used items.
- Use it Properly. Your coffee table should be used for its intended purpose, which is to serve drinks or dessert in your living room. Coasters and the odd book is all that should normally be on the table, except for maybe a piece of art, such as a sculpture. Coffee tables are also not a good place to do projects or try to run a business, you should use a more appropriate place in your home for these activities.
- Keep It Up. This is usually the hardest part. Keeping your coffee table free of clutter is a daily chore. After you change your habits, it will become second nature to use your cocktail table properly.
You can win the fight against coffee table clutter. These four ideas should take you a long way in clearing off your messy couch table for good.
