Now that you have decluttered and done some deep cleaning, it’s time for the fun: organization! This is the final step in our three-part series on Spring cleaning in 2021, and will really give your home a welcoming feel.
You don’t need fancy containers or labels in order to organize, though they can be helpful for grouping items that are alike and keeping them from becoming a mess later on.
Rank Items
This might seem unusual, but ranking your items by how often they are needed is an important step in organizing your home. Items that get used a lot should be placed in easy to access areas, whereas items that are seasonal or aren’t used frequently can be placed in locations that are more out of reach.
Consider Dividing Areas
This is particularly important with clothing, but can be applied to other items as well. If you are using shelving, a dresser, or a sophisticated closet system, make sure that there isn’t too much space available to stack things. Too much space can lead to stacking, and eventually, another mess that you’ve worked so hard to eliminate.
Use Bins to Keep Similar Items Together
Bins, baskets, or containers are useful when grouping items together. Clear storage is useful for finding what you’re looking for, and color-coded bins are useful for helping children to learn how to tidy up after playing. Whatever you decide, know that this isn’t a one size fits all solution. Take time to figure out a system that works best for you and your family and let it evolve over time.
Be Patient with Yourself
Remember that you’ve made a lot of changes lately – and not all of them are Spring cleaning related. With the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is learning and doing ordinary things differently. So be patient with yourself as you work to put your home in order. You can do this by doing one section, one item at a time.
Reward Yourself
As you finish up the process started in parts one and two, take the time to reward yourself! Maybe this means curling up with a good book for a few hours or ordering pizza for a movie night, but whatever you choose, make sure that you take time to sit back and enjoy your hard work.
