Why we Should Organize by Color-Coding
Everyone likes to be organized, or at least try to be, but sometimes being organized gets a little hard. We don't always have time to organize our books by genre or our shirts by size. We want our belongings and our spaces to look clean and thought-out, but what is a simple way to achieve this feel? Color-coding!
For starters, color-coding any type of collection automatically has an obvious, visible sense of organization. This simple method of organization doesn't require too much thought and establishes a sense of cohesiveness throughout an otherwise cluttered space. The look can be taken to another level by strategically placing complementary tones together and breaking away from the classic gradient color-coding look. Displaying a monochrome collection instills a continuous flow within the decor of a space. This simple organizational method is also very easy to maintain!
Color-coding brings an aesthetically-pleasing essence to a space with minimal effort, perfect for a little change up in your everyday spaces.
I agree with this post; color coding creates an automatic sense of organization. It takes a little thought to coordinate this way but makes a big difference. I don't think this method works for every situation but done the right way in the correct situation it is a great method of organization.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this post....color coding is my favorite! I agree that it's an easy way to keep things organized as well as keeping it looking good. I think it has something to do with the way that the eye and brain like to organize and sort the world around us...and it definitely works!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting idea! I really like the idea of categorizing objects by color. It creates a really unique and eclectic design feature.
ReplyDeleteThis was done so well! The picture posted with it, is perfect example of color coding! It's a concept that is gaining more popularity to differentiate and organize objects and even different levels of flooring as well. Where i currently live, each floor is color coded and helps with finding the right floor!
ReplyDeleteI color-code my closet, so I can relate to this post. As an interior designer, I am such a visual person (as most of us are). I comprehend things so much better when there is visual difference or method. I never thought to color-code when designing, too.
ReplyDeleteI love this post Emily! I am huge into organization and I color code everything because it really just creates a quick visual cue about where to find something or what something is about. I think that using this concept to help organize a space as well is a great, easy solution to clutter and adds some wonderful aesthetic appeal.
ReplyDeleteI can completely relate to this post as I have am obsessed with color coding my closet at home. It's such an easy method to implement into a space, but the end results have such a great impact.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone too that this is a simple organization method. I myself have used it a few time with my closet or my bookshelves, but I have never thought about thinking about the adjacencies of the colors. So your point about placing complementary colors next to each other is great food for thought!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know that I am not the only one who color codes things. I agree that it is a great way to organize and simplify your life.
ReplyDeleteAll of my closet's are sorted by color. Actually, I pretty much sort everything by color. I love the picture you posted - I wonder if they had to create covers for some of the books?
ReplyDeleteIt's so encouraging I'm not the only person who utilizes color as a way to organize, especially my closet. Although a visually obvious way to organize, I have found it is the best way to maintain order and simplify my life.
