Spring is in the air and why not use the change of season as a reason to clean out all the winter clutter that has accumulated in your home over the past few months? With the weather getting warmer and the sun shining, it's time to get rid of all those items which are cluttering up your rooms, so that you can welcome spring into your home.
With spring cleaning fever in the air, we've put together some handy tips to help you declutter your home:
Cupboard decluttering:
One of the biggest changes you'll be making as we move from winter into spring is in your bedroom cupboard. You'll need to say goodbye to and store away your winter clothes, so that you can make space for your summer wardrobe.
Top tip: If you are storing away your winter clothes and shoes, consider using plastic or cardboard storage containers to help you save space.
Playroom decluttering:
Warmer weather means your kids will spend more time playing outside and less time indoors with all their toys. This makes it the perfect opportunity to do some decluttering.
Top tip: Baskets, stationery drawers and toy boxes are a great way for storing away toys, crafts and other playroom essentials.
Bathroom decluttering:
When it comes to bathrooms, you'll often find an old shampoo bottle or two, empty shower gels and other bathroom clutter lying around.
Top tip: Medicine cabinets are often overlooked when it comes to de-cluttering but in anticipation of all the allergy medication that we'll need for spring, it's time to go through your medication and throw out old/expired ones to make space for new ones.
Office decluttering:
It's so easy for things to get out of hand when it comes to papers and files in your office. Use this time to finally get on top of your office clutter.
Top tip: when it comes to your bookshelf, consider donating old books that your children have outgrown or that you no longer want, to those who are less fortunate and love to read.
Kitchen decluttering:
We all have those ancient spices that we never use but that have never been thrown away. Well, there's no better time than now to get rid of those ancient products.
Top tip: check for duplicates as we often have more than one of a particular kitchen item when we only use or need one. Having duplicates can cause items to pile up and become unnecessary kitchen clutter. Donate or sell any duplicate kitchen items that you aren't using, to free up some space.
With these handy tips on how to declutter your home, there's no better time than now to tackle that winter clutter to make room for spring!
