Now that spring has officially arrived, it’s time to freshen up your space. The crisp, sunny days of the season ahead offer an idyllic time to tackle home improvement projects of all kinds, including what tops nearly every list: decluttering. To turn your chaotic space into a serene, junk-free one, incorporate these tips into your spring cleaning routine.

Top 3 Decluttering Tips

1. Try the 12-12-12 Challenge

Organizing your space begins with getting rid of junk, but that’s understandably daunting. If you’re having trouble getting started, take a cue from blogger Joshua Becker and try the 12-12-12 challenge. Find 12 items to donate, 12 items to put back in place, and 12 items to recycle or throw away. Repeat this challenge for as many consecutive days as it takes to tidy up your living area.

2. Get Creative with Storage

junkCreative storage can do wonders for organization. Use cupboard and drawer dividers, wall hooks, and high shelves to ensure everything has a proper place. If you can’t find a home for a certain item, you might not need it at all. Likewise, if you don’t use a particular item often, stash it away in the attic or high up in your closet shelves. Make sure you put it in a labeled storage container though.

3. Develop a New Mindset

Living a clean, clutter-free lifestyle doesn’t come easily for many people. After accumulating piles of accessories, gadgets, clothing, and other junk over the years, it’s challenging to combat excess. However, doing so can benefit both your mental health and the environment. When you’re in a clean, peaceful room, you will feel calmer, plus you’ll waste less time looking for items you need.

Learn to appreciate minimalism. Refrain from purchasing unnecessary items and invest in long-term pieces. In the meantime, keep your local junk removal and recycling service on speed dial. Eventually, clutter-free will become a way of life.
