Declutter Now for a Fresh Start This Spring

Spring cleaning season is right around the corner, and starting with decluttering now can make it much easier. Clearing out unused items helps your home feel lighter, more organized, and less stressful.

Why Declutter Before Spring?

Starting early saves time and energy later. When spring arrives, you’ll be able to focus on cleaning instead of sorting through clutter. Even small efforts—15 to 30 minutes at a time—can add up quickly.

Start Small

Avoid trying to do everything at once. Focus on one drawer, closet, or cabinet. Short, focused sessions make decluttering more manageable and easier to stick with.

Tackle High-Impact Areas First

If time is limited, prioritize spaces that make the biggest difference:

1. Entryways
2. Kitchen counters and pantries
3. Bedroom closets
4. Bathroom cabinets

Use the “Keep, Donate, Toss” Rule

Keep items you use and love, donate what’s still useful, and toss anything broken or expired. If you haven’t used it in a year, it may be time to let it go.

A Bonus for Homeowners

Decluttering can also help homes feel larger and more inviting—especially for homeowners thinking about selling this year.

The Bottomline

A little decluttering now can lead to a calmer, cleaner home this spring and make whatever comes next feel easier.
