Start the New Year with a Clutter-Free Home
December 28th, 2022One of the things we love most about a new year is the great opportunity it provides to recreate your home environment. As you begin taking down your Christmas tree and holiday decorations this January, we recommend taking extra steps to ensure your home stays clutter-free throughout 2023. This will make regular cleaning easier and give you more time to relax and enjoy yourself instead of worrying about the mess on your coffee table or the stack of bills on the kitchen counter.
Donate Items You No Longer Use
Whether your kitchen cupboards are full, or your hall closet is overflowing, there are items inside that you can give away. The easiest way to reduce the amount of clutter floating around your home is by donating the things you no longer use to make space for the ones you often do. Whether you unwrapped a new set of pots and pans or a fresh set of towels this Christmas, now is the perfect time to go through your home and get rid of all the extra stuff. Not only will this help you to re-organize closets and cupboards, but it will also help local families in need!
Tidy Up Your Entryway
After a long day at work, the first thing most of us do when we get home is shed our coats, bags, and shoes. Instead of letting these items clutter your dining room table or kitchen counter, create an organized and welcoming entryway with a place for everything.
Consider installing a row of hooks for your family’s coats, mats to place wet winter boots on and a hall table to put your purse and keys on. This way, instead of cluttering up your home, all your outdoor gear will be organized near the door, ready for the next time you head out of your home.
Create New Habits
Another important part of cleaning your home is forming new habits. Instead of just organizing your home during the first few weeks of January, it is important to keep up with your de-cluttering techniques throughout the year! Even the simplest of tasks can make a huge difference, like:
- Putting kitchen gadgets back in the cupboards after you use them
- Sorting through your mail each week and putting it away on your desk
- Putting toys, games, and remotes back in their proper spots instead of leaving them on the coffee table
