Mum and professional decluttering expert Anita Birges shared her clever trick using Kmart wall hooks. TikTok
"Using a $10 wall hook from Kmart," she said before breaking down the clever tips on Instagram.
1. Use hooks. On the back of a door, the inside of a cupboard or on the wall. You want to give the kids realistic strategies they can manage with ease
2. Install solutions at their height so items are easily accessible to them. This also helps with their independence
3. Show them what you have done and why. Kids like to do the right thing and if you explain the system, eg. "Your little handbags now have these great hooks to live", they are more likely to maintain it.
"Getting the kids' rooms organised may seem like a chore but the rewards are priceless," Birges declared.

Parents loved Birges' advice, with thousands liking and commenting on the post.
"Great idea," said one.
"Love this," commented another.
Others wanted to know exactly how she secured the hooks to the wall and if the solution was suitable for rental properties.
"Yes! I put the hooks on with removable double-sided tape," Birges replied.
Birges has previously shared lots of other great advice for parents including how to organise toys and how to fold baby onesies in five seconds.
"The simplest way to gain control of TOYS is to remember that LESS is MORE," she said.
