Besides learning to cohabitate with a new person, merging two households into one is not an easy transition to navigate. You\u2019re sharing a closet, bedroom, kitchen and more while incorporating both of your belongings into these spaces. A happy relationship requires love, compromise and a touch of organization. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put together these organization tips to help make moving in with your partner a seamless process:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Do-a-thorough-decluttering\"><\/span>1. Do a thorough decluttering<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Moving in with your partner is a great opportunity for a decluttering session. You can separate it into two phases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Before moving in<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Start the process before you move in and sort through the items you\u2019re not using anymore, the damaged ones and others you might not use in your new household. This gives you the chance to bring fewer items into the shared household and makes organization a little easier from the get-go.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>After moving in<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Joining two households is likely to result in a lot of excess items. You might think your cotton candy machine is essential to your livelihood, but you might not have enough room for it in your new kitchen. To help guide you on this decluttering phase, ask yourself if the items are going to fit into your new home and if they\u2019re in overall good condition. This can drive the \u201ckeep,\u201d \u201ctoss\u201d or \u201cdonate\u201d decision.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Put-duplicates-in-a-storage-unit\"><\/span>2. Put duplicates in a storage unit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll also likely run into having duplicates \u2014 starting with furniture and large and small appliances such as coffee makers, blenders and more. Also, you might have too many drinking glasses, utensils and other kitchen tools coming from two separate households. Make sure to pick the most functional items when you need to choose from two options and either donate or sell the duplicates. For items that you want to keep, such as a favorite couch, family memorabilia and more, you can turn to storage.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17715\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Woman-and-man-with-big-cardboard-boxes-into-warehouse-with-self-storage-unit.jpg?w=770\" alt=\"Woman and man with big cardboard boxes into warehouse with self storage unit\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Woman-and-man-with-big-cardboard-boxes-into-warehouse-with-self-storage-unit.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Woman-and-man-with-big-cardboard-boxes-into-warehouse-with-self-storage-unit.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Woman-and-man-with-big-cardboard-boxes-into-warehouse-with-self-storage-unit.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A storage unit<\/a> is a great place to keep these items until you can have them back in the home. You might buy a house later and have room for them, but until then, a storage unit can be their home away from home. For couches and furniture from two compact bedrooms, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/10x10-storage-unit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10\u2019x10\u2019 unit<\/a> is ideal. However, if you\u2019re unsure what size you need, you can consult this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">storage unit size guide<\/a>. For a mix of various items, you can use our interactive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/storage-unit-size-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">storage unit size calculator<\/a>\u00a0to see which unit can fit the items you need to store.<\/p>\n<p>Price-wise, the service is quite inexpensive, with a storage unit renting for about $134\/month. Rates can vary based on location, with larger cities coming with higher prices. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/ca\/san-francisco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco unit<\/a> can cost about $229\/month. Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/ny\/new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York City storage<\/a> rents for $218\/month. In other cities, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/tx\/bexar-county\/san-antonio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Antonio, TX<\/a> ($128\/month), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/self-storage\/us\/ks\/overland-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Overland Park, KS<\/a> ($121\/month) and Cleveland, OH ($114\/month), storage comes with lower rates.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Work-with-the-living-space-you-have\"><\/span>3. Work with the living space you have<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Take a general-to-specific approach when organizing your home. Look at the home plan and divide it into zones to take care of when it comes to design, furniture choice and decor. Also, keep a dual design in mind for as many spaces as possible. A home office can double as a guest room if you add a fold-out desk and a Murphy bed. If you don\u2019t have separate dining and living rooms, you can use the one room to serve both functions. Keep the living room layout permanent, but add a foldout table when you need it to convert it into a dining room.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Take-advantage-of-the-vertical-space\"><\/span>4. Take advantage of the vertical space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you live in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/trends-in-us-apartment-sizes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">city where apartments come in smaller sizes<\/a>, chances are you need to contend with a smaller living space. That\u2019s why using every inch of space at your disposal for storage is essential to helping you make your home organized. One way to do that is to go vertical with the organization. Pick modular shelving to create storage along the walls. Use baskets to store various items, and use some of the space to display decorations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Multifunctional-furniture-is-your-best-friend\"><\/span>5. Multifunctional furniture is your best friend<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your partner is your best friend in life, but when it comes to organization it\u2019s multifunctional furniture. For instance, an ottoman can work as a seating option while also providing hidden storage for magazines and throws in your living room. Similarly, a coffee table with a shelf underneath can work double duty, serving as an area for you to keep board games and more. Moreover, a storage bench can also provide hidden storage while providing extra seating in any room of your choice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17716\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Stylish-living-room-interior-with-comfortable-sofa-and-ottoman.jpg?w=770\" alt=\"Stylish living room interior with comfortable sofa and ottoman\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Stylish-living-room-interior-with-comfortable-sofa-and-ottoman.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Stylish-living-room-interior-with-comfortable-sofa-and-ottoman.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Stylish-living-room-interior-with-comfortable-sofa-and-ottoman.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Use-the-under-bed-space\"><\/span>6. Use the under-bed space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your under-bed area is basically prime real estate for your organization strategy. Now that you\u2019ve doubled your bulky winter clothing, this is a great spot to keep it to avoid cluttering the rest of the home with jackets and sweaters. After all, you and your partner won\u2019t use them in the offseason.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-Put-together-a-closet-organization-strategy\"><\/span>7. Put together a closet organization strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Make the most of your closet by installing shelving, drawers and rods to create various sections for your items, especially if you have a roomier closet. Use space-saving hangers for skirts, pants and more that take advantage of vertical storage. Also, keep tabs on the door space by adding hooks to keep accessories and more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-Pay-special-attention-to-the-bathroom\"><\/span>8. Pay special attention to the bathroom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The bathroom typically needs to work hard to keep a lot of small items organized, but when those items double, you need a clear organization system to keep them under control. Use over-the-door caddies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/best-under-sink-organizers-4154354\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">under-the-sink organizers<\/a> to maximize space. Be intentional about which bathroom essentials go into which cabinets and drawers. It\u2019s a good idea to color code organizers and containers for his and her products so that each of you can find your products when you\u2019re in a rush. This also helps to build an organized routine while keeping everything in its place.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-Make-your-kitchen-organized\"><\/span>9. Make your kitchen organized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The kitchen holds a special place for a couple \u2014 it\u2019s where you\u2019re likely to spend a lot of time cooking and enjoying delicious food. That\u2019s why going all in on an organizational system is well worth it \u2014 it can take the stress out of cooking or quick food assembly for the times when you want a snack on the go. Cabinet organizers, pantry and fridge bins as well as stackable shelves are some of the things you can work with to transform your kitchen into an organized haven that sparks joy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17717\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Modern-kitchen-Open-drawers-Set-of-cutlery-trays-in-kitchen-drawer.jpg?w=770\" alt=\"Modern kitchen, Open drawers, Set of cutlery trays in kitchen drawer\" width=\"770\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Modern-kitchen-Open-drawers-Set-of-cutlery-trays-in-kitchen-drawer.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Modern-kitchen-Open-drawers-Set-of-cutlery-trays-in-kitchen-drawer.jpg?resize=300,201 300w, https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/02\/Modern-kitchen-Open-drawers-Set-of-cutlery-trays-in-kitchen-drawer.jpg?resize=768,514 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Personalize the space by adding hooks to hang pots, pans, spoons, measuring cups and other kitchen essentials. Label bins, containers and more \u2014 your significant other is more likely to stay organized as well with a system that\u2019s streamlined. Remember to work together to decide where each item goes so that both of you can easily use the kitchen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10-Remember-the-entryway\"><\/span>10. Remember the entryway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to focus most of your organizing efforts on the main rooms of the home, but the entryway is equally important. It\u2019s the first point of entry to your home, and what you do there can set the tone for the rest of the home \u2014 at least from an organizational standpoint. Set up a small table with drawers to hold your keys, mail and other items you need on the go. You can also add a shoe cabinet to keep the entryway clear.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11-Set-up-a-cleaning-and-organizing-schedule\"><\/span>11. Set up a cleaning and organizing schedule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Each household, and for that matter, couple, should establish a schedule to allow regular upkeep. Decide how weekly cleanup occurs and who does which chores to make sure your home stays clean and tidy. Establish a decluttering schedule a few times a year \u2014 either by season or however you think it might work for you as a couple.<\/p>\n<p>To make cleaning up easier, establish ground rules for everyday functioning, such as putting things away in their designated spot instead of setting them down.<\/p>\n<p>Moving in with your significant other is a time to celebrate a new start together. Put your best foot forward in your new life by having a clear organizational system that works for both of you so that you can create a happy and organized home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving in together as a couple is an exciting part of your journey together.
