Color Coding and Why We Love It

If you’ve seen our Instagram or even have searched Pinterest for organization tips, you’ve probably noticed a theme: we love a good ROYGBIV moment. 

What’s going on with this, you might ask? Well, here are three reasons why transforming your organization method to this pattern will help you!

Putting away new purchases just got a lot easier! From closet to cabinet, we all have that one drawer that gets filled with junk left and right. When we color-code our items, it holds us a little more accountable when putting things away. New orange shirt? No problem. There’s a spot for it that you don’t even have to think twice about where it goes. 

It saves you time while looking for things! Most items that we use are recognizable by the label. Companies intentionally use corresponding colors to their productions when designing. When they are grouped by color, we are able to easily go to the section that each item is in. Next time you are thinking about where that tomato sauce is, think about how tomatoes are red and walk over to your red section of cans! 

Your space just got a lot prettier! Our eyes appreciate patterns and this pattern is one that instantly makes most people happy. The flow of colors isn’t just easy on the eye, it’s calming to the mind. There is no reason to be stressed while looking at the pantry - so let the colors calm your mind. 

Next time you go to the grocery store and start to organize your purchases, take a look at how you group them in your pantry. Need some help with getting your color coding started? Drop us a note below and we would love to help!
