• きちんとJLPT N3approx.Common
  adverb, suru verbThis common mimetic adverb covers 'neatly' as tidily and orderly — doing or arranging something carefully and properly, without sloppiness, as when tidying a room, dressing neatly, or putting belongings in order.
  自分じぶんの部屋へやは出来できるだけきちんとしておきたい。↗

  I want to keep my room as neat as possible.
• すっきりJLPT N2approx.Common
  adverb (with と), suru verbMatches 'neatly' in the sense of a clean, uncluttered, refined result: something shapely and well-organized with nothing extraneous. For the careful, orderly manner sense of 'neatly', this is seldom the word you want.
  コートを探さがしてます。背せが低ひくいので、丈たけは短みじかめで、なるべくすっきりしたデザインのものを。↗

  I'm looking for a coat. I'm short so the length should be on the short side, and as refined a design as possible.

Choose 「きちんと」 for 'neatly' meaning tidily, orderly, or properly done, and 「すっきり」 for 'neatly' meaning a clean, uncluttered, refined result; 「すっきり」 is the narrower and more marginal match.
