Ready to truly enjoy the stunning summer weather this month? Don’t let unnecessary clutter get in the way of your relaxation this season, and embrace a well-organized home. A clutter-free home can drastically improve your quality of life and transform your space into a pristine destination for summer hangouts, monthly parties, and a personal oasis.
Here are some tips to keep your home clear of clutter this summer!
Start Small And Be Specific
Oftentimes the idea of summer cleaning can be daunting when you’re looking at the project as a whole, but breaking it down into smaller, specific tasks will make it that much easier to complete! Besides, who really wants to spend an afternoon cleaning inside when the sunny weather is calling you outdoors? So start with a concise summer cleaning checklist and ensure that even the big tasks won’t take more than fifteen minutes!
Make A List Of What Belongs, And What Doesn’t
Each room will have appliances, furniture pieces, and even necessary clutter that lives in that space, but what about that stack of magazines that’s found a temporary home on your bedside table? Or the scattered school supplies and kids’ homework that have found their way into every crevice of your home? Before jumping into decluttering, make a list of what clutter belongs in each space and what has a place in the garbage or stored away in the closet. This will help you keep each task in mind and stay focused!
Trim Your ‘Keep’ Pile
We all know the tried-and-true organization tactic of separating clutter into keep, donate, and toss piles to ensure everything has a place and doesn’t find its way back to cluttering your home. However, more often than not, we tend to leave a lot of wiggle room in our keep pile when we don’t want to commit to decluttering some items. Take a microscope to your clutter this summer and embrace a stress-free home that’s free of mess.
