Flats and small spaces
Renting, no drilling, and not much floor. Small-space advice usually assumes you can mount things to a wall, and most people cannot.
What usually goes wrong here
Buying storage that eats the floor
In a small room, floor space is the scarce thing. Go up the walls or under existing furniture.
Ignoring vertical space you are allowed to use
Tension rods, over-door hooks and adhesive rails need no holes and come off cleanly.
Keeping duplicates for a bigger home
Storing for a house you do not live in yet costs you the flat you live in now.

Other rooms
Whole house
The routines and resets that are not about one room: what to do weekly, how often things actually need doing, and how to start when all of it feels like too much.
Kitchen
The room that decides how the whole house feels. A kitchen left overnight sets the tone for the next morning, which is why almost every workable routine starts here rather than anywhere more satisfying.
Bathroom
Small, damp, and full of bottles with nothing left in them. Bathrooms need less cleaning than people think and far more culling.
Bedroom and wardrobe
The room guests never see, so it is the room that absorbs everything else. It is also the one where a ten-minute difference is most obvious.
