Even though we technically have a few more weeks of winter, spring-cleaning season will be here before you know it. There is nothing better than a fresh and organized home, wouldn\u2019t you agree? But sometimes time slips away, papers start piling up and next thing you know, you\u2019re coming home to a mess. Between waiting out winter and anticipating spring, now is the perfect time to pick yourself back up and get your home back in order.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Tips to a Clutter-Free Home:<\/h2>\n

1. Embrace the fact that accomplishing a clutter-free home will take time. You’ve heard the age-old saying, “Rome was not built in a day,\u201d the same is true for a clean home.<\/p>\n

2. Focus on one area or room at a time. If you start in the kitchen, finish cleaning and organizing the kitchen before moving to a bedroom.<\/p>\n

3. When you go through your things, sort them into one of these five categories: trash, recycle, fix, donate and store.<\/p>\n

4. Make a \u201cone in, one out\u201d rule. So if you buy a new shirt, consider donating a shirt.<\/p>\n

5. Arrange the items you use most often at eye level.<\/p>\n

6. Routinely check expiration dates to avoid seeing (or smelling) unfortunate surprises later.<\/p>\n

7. Always make your bed. It\u2019s one of the first things you do every day and will encourage you to keep the rest of your room clean.<\/p>\n

8. Keep only what you use every day on your countertop. Items like your keys should be accessible and not crowded by clutter.<\/p>\n

9. Designate storage spaces or solutions for items such as remote controls, magazines, blankets, chargers, gadgets and gaming consoles.<\/p>\n

10. Regularly de-clutter your home to prevent things from piling up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thinking about how this can apply to interior design? Minimalist home design style<\/a> is all about intention and restraint. So when you choose furniture and d\u00e9cor, every piece has style and function. Remember, cleaning and de-cluttering your home will not take a day\u2026it might take a lot of days, but you\u2019ll get there. And you\u2019ll be happy you did.<\/p>\n
