Spring is in the air, and it’s a perfect time to organize your home. Organization can help to alleviate stress levels by creating a calm and functional interior. When a space is organized and tidy, it can be used to its full potential, adding to the overall enjoyment and efficiency of your home. How better to accomplish this, than to follow the old adage “A place for everything and everything in its place.” I am the owner of Re:imagine Spaces and I am here to help you with some spring cleaning tips. The sun is shining and your motivation is building; but where to start? The first thing you’ll need to do is to set realistic goals for yourself otherwise frustration will take over and your spring cleaning project will be over before it even starts.

CREATING ORGANIZED

To make it easier on yourself, I recommend you choose one area in the house that you would like to start with; closet, pantry, kitchen, bedroom, garage?

Living for Everyone

Wherever you start, the process will be the same. Take a moment and identify your goals and long term hopes for each space. The next step is to remove everything from the space, which will allow you to see what you actually have accumulated. It may look like you have created a huge mess but this is part of the process. Make your piles: keep, relocate, toss and donate. Once you have decided on the items you are going to keep, you are ready to restore order and categorize. Take time to look around the house for items that you can repurpose to help you organize the space, for example decorative baskets and containers, or a piece of furniture. I like to do this before I go out and spend money on articles I don’t really need. In conclusion, remember to set realistic goals for yourself. Make a “to do list” and focus on just one project at a time, this way you will feel a sense of accomplishment each time you complete a space.
