Place Things Casually: No Need to Tidy Up Means No Mess

A casual apartment where there's a place for everything. A small side table next to the sofa is just right for a drink, a large tray on the coffee table groups remote controls and odds and ends, a narrow, long console behind the sofa can hold a phone and books, and a woven basket on the floor contains blankets. Because every item that's casually put down has a designated spot, the space doesn't get messy even without deliberate tidying. Avoid: clearing all surfaces so nothing can be temporarily placed, letting items scatter on the floor and sofa, using colorful plastic storage boxes, having no temporary surfaces reserved at all.

一個到處都有地方放東西的休閒公寓。沙發旁一張小邊几剛好放一杯飲料、矮几上一個大托盤把遙控器與雜物收成一組、沙發背後一道窄長的檯面可以放手機與書、地上一個編織籃裝著毯子。因為每一種隨手產生的東西都有落腳處,空間不用刻意整理也不會亂。避免:把所有平面都清空到無法暫放、讓物品散落在地板與沙發上、使用彩色塑膠收納盒、完全沒有預留暫放的檯面。
