You need to start thinking of reorganising your home. Why? Because a positive change in scenery often leads to higher productivity and boosted mood. Also, after the long winter months, there’s a lot of clutter that might be sitting in all areas of your home. Perfect opportunity to get rid of it! Here are a few spring home organisation ideas.

Make Sure Everything Has Its Place

The first step towards organising your home for spring is finding a place for all your items. If you can’t find a place for it and you don’t use it often enough, you don’t need it. Throw it away, sell it or give it to charity. The rest of your items should have a clearly allocated space in your home minimising the opportunity for creating more clutter. If it helps, create a chart with the different areas and the items that belong there.

Make the Most of Your Vertical Space

If you don’t have much space in your property, try to utilise as much of the doors and walls as possible. You can install wall mounted shelves and cupboards or Door System hangers. The former you can use to store books and magazines, as well as some sentimental gifts and family pictures. The latter is perfect for hanging your jackets and coats, scarves, bags and so on. You can even install a vertical shoe holder on your bedroom or closet door. These, however, would work mainly for flat shoes. Heels would be a challenge.

Give Special Attention to Your Closet

The general rule of closet organisation is that if you add one you need to take one out. So, if there’re items you haven’t worn for over a year they need to go. Same applies to clothes with some defects due to excessive wearing and pieces you simply stopped liking for some reason. It’s your choice what you want to do with these items. You can safely dispose of them as per waste collection guidelines of your council. If your clothes are in a condition, you may choose to sell them or give them to charity.

There are a lot of ways in which to organise your closet. Firstly, put the winter clothes to the back and bring the lighter, more colourful clothes to the front. Utilise the vertical space in your closet to store scarves, belts, shoes, jewellery and other accessories. Drawer dividers are also a good idea to maximise and organise the space for your lingerie and socks.

Don’t forget your Garden, Shed and Garage

Nice weather means you will be spending more time outside. So, if you have a garden, you need to make it look more welcoming. If you love flowers, now is the right time to plant some, trim the grass and fix any damage caused by the recent storms.

Your shed probably needs a touch or two. It may be full of clutter you were trying to not store in the house over the winter. That clutter shouldn’t be sitting in your garden shed either!

The situation with the garage is maybe very similar to the one in the shed. Allocate a space for every tool and item you have in the garage, perform a deep clean and enjoy a clean space where you can find anything you need with no more than two looks.
