A new year means new beginnings, and starting fresh can be challenging when clutter clogs up your home. Bluebird Self Storage has all the tips you need to organize your home for your next trip around the sun, including maintaining a productive living space moving forward.
Benefits of Organizing Your Home
Keeping a clean living space probably stacks up behind exercising, reading, and eating healthy on the New Year’s resolution hierarchy. If you’re looking to improve your overall quality of life, however, a deep clean is a great place to start.
Living in a cluttered environment increases stress levels, making focusing more challenging. It’s also associated with less engagement in physical activity. To boost your mood, fitness, and overall lease on life, there’s no better way to start the year than in a tidy space.
Tips for Organizing Your Home
Every home and homeowner has different needs and preferences, so don’t be afraid to mix and match organizational systems to find what works best for you! We’ve gathered some of our favorite organizing tips to help you take the first step.
1. Start Fresh
Who says spring cleaning can’t happen on January 1? If you’re dealing with excess belongings, take a minute to sort through everything and decide what you’ll take with you into the new year.
There are likely garments, decorations, and exercise equipment that never saw the light of day—bid them farewell to make room for new memories and possessions. Also, check your pantry and bathroom closet for expired products.
2. Set Aside a Time To Organize
To give yourself a blank canvas to organize, pick a designated day to organize an event for deep cleaning your home. As you plan your day of decluttering, here are some overarching tips to keep in mind:
- Make time. Set dedicated blocks of time for tidying and organizing.
- Start in one spot. Tackle one area or room before moving to the next, and break down tasks for each space to make everything more manageable.
- Create categories. Sort belongings into groups based on type.
3. Create an Organized Living Space
Making your home clean and orderly can seem easier said than done. Here are some organizing your home ideas to remember as you reinvent your space:
- Use storage products. Bins, dividers, baskets, and carousels can organize your items and enhance the aesthetic of your home.
- Store vertically. Maximize storage space by going vertical with shelves or wall hooks. You can also use over-the-door storage organizers in closets.
- Declutter your storage. Just because it’s out of sight doesn’t mean it should be out of mind. Clear out your garage, basement, and attic of excess storage to make more room. If you need additional space, consider a personal storage unit.
