Brianna Ancheta, @briannaancheta (3.4M followers)
Who? Brianna is a Sacramento, California–based TikToker who has been creating home organization content since March of 2020. Her videos show the entire process of organizing. “It’s not about a completed, perfectly organized cabinet,” she says. “It’s about a journey, [bringing] something that is unorganized to organized.”
#1 Tip: Label, Label, Label
A big part of spring-cleaning is concealing clutter and placing items in bins, baskets, and drawers. But, because you can’t see what’s inside, it can be hard to find what you’re looking for when you need it most. To solve this problem, Brianna advises placing similar items together and adding labels to the bins. “To keep things tidy throughout usage, I love to add labels,” she shares, “It’s so much easier on the eye when items are grouped into categories.”
Jessica Haizman, @jessicahaizman (1.2M followers)
Who? Jessica joined TikTok in May of 2020. Her content is focused on giving anyone who feels like they’re disorganized the tools and tricks they need to organize their home and make changes that work with their daily routine.
#1 Tip: Contain Your Cords
“The right containers can take a dreadful space and make it beautiful and functional in minutes,” she explains. If you’re storing cords loosely in drawers, she recommends neatly storing any loose cords in a cord organizer. Just take five minutes to gather all of them up and place them inside. This quick and affordable solution “will change the [organization] game,” she says, and keep cords from floating around your space.
Miyaeva Irish, @miyaevarenae (5.7M followers)
Who? In October 2019, Miyaeva began creating ASMR-style cleaning and organization videos on TikTok. This style of video creates calm energy, she says: “It relaxes me and others, and I think I love that part the most.”
