    Your Cardiff Home: The Ultimate Home Organisation Guide

    Is your home in Cardiff feeling cluttered, chaotic, or simply lacking in space? You're not alone. With more of us working from home and living busy lives, having an organised, functional space has become more important than ever.

    Whether you live in a compact city apartment or a spacious family home, home organisation in Cardiff is all about balance — combining style, practicality, and smart storage to suit your lifestyle.

    At RedKey, we’re local property experts who know how much value a well-organised home can bring — both for daily life and for your property's appeal. Here's your step-by-step guide to creating a stylish and functional home across every room.


    ๐Ÿงน Start with a Ruthless Declutter

    Every great home organisation project starts with a thorough declutter. Yes, it can be overwhelming — but it’s essential.

    Follow this 3-step process:

    1. Bin/Recycle – Get rid of anything broken or no longer fit for use. Don’t forget to recycle clothing at local textile drop-off points.

    2. Donate/Sell – If it’s still in good condition but no longer used, pass it on via online marketplaces or donate to a Cardiff charity shop.

    3. Keep & Organise – Only keep items you love or use regularly. These deserve a permanent home in your space.

    Repeat this process in every room before moving on to organising.


    ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ Love Your Living Room

    Your living room is where function meets comfort — and for many Cardiff homes, it's the heart of the house.

    • Shelving walls are ideal if your family has a lot of books, games, or keepsakes. Display items with personality, but keep it purposeful.

    • Wicker baskets are a stylish solution for storing miscellaneous items like chargers, remotes, or kids’ toys.

    • Cable tidies behind your TV cabinet instantly reduce visual clutter and make your home feel more polished.


    ๐Ÿ› Beautify Your Bathrooms

    The bathroom is a daily-use space — and smart organisation makes a big difference.

    • Install shelving above the toilet to make the most of vertical space.

    • Use mason jars to store essentials like cotton pads or bath salts — and label them for a Pinterest-worthy finish.

    • A tall freestanding unit is perfect for displaying towels and storing toiletries efficiently, even in small Cardiff bathrooms.


    ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Make Your Bedroom Blissful

    A well-organised bedroom promotes better sleep and a calmer start to the day.

    • Use under-bed storage boxes for seasonal clothes, spare bedding, or toys in children’s rooms.

    • Free up surface space by mounting artwork instead of crowding your sideboards or windowsills.

    • Keep wardrobes neat with storage dividers or drawer organisers.


    ๐Ÿ’ผ Organise Your Home Office

    Whether you’re working remotely full-time or part-time, a tidy workspace supports better productivity.

    • Invest in folders, racks, and paperweights to keep important documents in order.

    • Consider a quality shredder for regularly clearing paperwork and avoiding build-up.

    • Tidy as you go. A five-minute daily habit is more effective than a weekly paper purge.


    ๐Ÿก Not Enough Space in Your Current Cardiff Home?

    If you’ve tried every storage hack and still feel cramped, it may be time to consider upsizing or moving to a more functional space.

    At RedKey, we help Cardiff homeowners and renters find properties that truly fit their lifestyle — from stylish flats with built-in storage to spacious family homes with dedicated home offices.


    ๐Ÿ’ฌ Let’s Get You Moving!

    Whether you're organising to sell, stage your property for tenants, or simply want to create a more functional home, RedKey is here to help.

    5 Home Office Features That Attract Tenants in Cardiff & South Wales

    Published 25 days ago

    As more professionals embrace remote and hybrid working, demand for well-designed home office spaces is on the rise. Whether you're a landlord in Cardiff or across South Wales, understanding what makes a great home office can help boost your property's appeal, reduce void periods, and attract quality long-term tenants.

    At RedKey, your local Cardiff and Newport property experts, we know how to position your rental to meet modern tenant expectations. Here are five key features that make a home office truly desirable — and how you can use them to your advantage.


    1. ๐ŸŒž Natural Light: A Must-Have for Productivity

    Tenants value properties with plenty of natural light, and this is especially important in a home office. Natural light not only boosts productivity but is also linked to better sleep, improved mood, and fewer headaches.

    โœ… Top Tip for Landlords:
    If your rental’s home office has limited light, use mirrors to reflect brightness, opt for light-coloured furniture, and choose pale window dressings that let the sun in. Small changes can make a big impact when staging.


    2. ๐Ÿช‘ A Comfortable Desk Setup with Adequate Space

    Remote workers spend hours at their desks, so comfort and functionality matter. A desk cramped against the wall may look space-saving, but it lacks practicality.

    โœ… Top Tip for Landlords:
    If space allows, pull the desk away from the wall to give the illusion of more room and improve comfort. Legroom is a key feature tenants now look for in Cardiff rental homes with workspaces.


    3. ๐ŸŒฟ Plants: The Green Boost Tenants Love

    Adding plants to a home office doesn’t just improve the aesthetics — it also boosts health and wellbeing. Studies show greenery can reduce stress, improve air quality, and increase focus and happiness.

    โœ… Top Tip for Landlords:
    When staging your Cardiff rental, place low-maintenance plants or high-quality faux greenery in the office. It adds instant charm without requiring tenant upkeep.


    4. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Smart Storage Solutions for a Clutter-Free Office

    Clutter is a productivity killer, and tenants want tidy, organised workspaces. Office essentials like chargers, stationery, and documents quickly pile up without the right storage.

    โœ… Top Tip for Landlords:
    Install floating shelves, built-in cabinets, or stylish storage baskets to help tenants keep the space organised. Highlight these features in your rental listing for extra appeal.


    5. ๐ŸŽจ Neutral Wall Colours That Encourage Focus

    Wall colour plays a huge role in a home office environment. While tenants may personalise later, neutral shades are universally appealing and help stage the space in a way that feels calm and professional.

    โœ… Top Tip for Landlords:
    Stick to pale greens, cool blues, light greys, or off-whites. These tones help promote focus and relaxation — exactly what remote workers need.


    ๐ŸŽฏ Why Cardiff Landlords Should Care About Home Offices

    With more tenants than ever working from home at least part-time, the home office has become a major selling point. Properties that include a functional and attractive office space stand out in the competitive Cardiff rental market.

    By making just a few simple upgrades, landlords can:

    • Increase rental appeal

    • Reduce void periods

    • Attract high-quality, long-term tenants

    • Enhance rental value
