My Go-To Decor Hack for a Cozy, Clutter-Free Home
As moms, we wear so many hats. On any given day, we’re cleaning up messes, managing schedules, and doing our best to create a safe, peaceful space for our families to thrive. But let’s be honest, homemaking can get overwhelming, especially when clutter starts creeping into every corner of the house. That’s why finding a simple, effective decor hack can make all the difference.
That’s why I’m so excited to share that I was recently featured in a Rent.com article about must-have home essentials from real people who understand what it takes to make a house feel like home. The piece includes helpful ideas from creators and bloggers all over the country, and I was honored to be one of the contributors!
So, what’s my go-to home decor item?
Woven baskets. Simple. Stylish. Practical. And one of my secret weapons for keeping things cute and clutter-free.
Why Woven Baskets Are a Busy Mom’s Best Friend
Let me paint you a picture: It’s been one of those days. There are toys under the couch, mail piling up on the kitchen island, and somehow your toddler has lost yet another sock. You’re just trying to make it to bedtime with your sanity intact. Sound familiar?
Woven baskets have saved my space, and my peace of mind, more times than I can count. I’ve got them in almost every room of my house, and they serve as stylish little catch-alls for everything from library books to Barbie dolls. They’re the kind of low-effort, high-impact item that helps keep things feeling organized without actually having to be perfect.
Even better, they blend right into your decor. I love baskets with natural textures because they bring warmth to a space without making it feel cluttered. Whether I’m tossing in throw blankets, toys, or even random chargers, baskets help me stay on top of the mess without losing my mind.
The Heart Behind My Home
For me, homemaking means more than a Pinterest-perfect house. It’s creating a space where my family can truly breathe. A space that says, “You’re safe here. You’re loved here. Come as you are.” That’s why I love decor that’s functional and beautiful, because it supports the kind of home I’m trying to build: one filled with peace, not pressure.
When I contributed to this Rent.com article, I wanted to be real. I didn’t want to talk about expensive designer pieces or unrealistic aesthetics. I wanted to share something that has actually made my life easier (and prettier) in the chaos of motherhood. Baskets were an easy pick.
Honoring the Everyday
I know I’m not the only one trying to balance style with real life. Whether you’re living in a cozy apartment, a fixer-upper, or a bustling family home like mine, we all deserve to feel good in the spaces we live in. That might look like fresh flowers on the table, a candle in your favorite scent, or that one cozy corner you retreat to after bedtime routines are done.
Whatever it looks like for you, I want to encourage you to create spaces that feel good for your family. Homemaking doesn’t have to be fancy. It just needs to be thoughtful.
