Spring Clean Your Habits for a Fresh Start

Spring isn’t just about refreshing your home—it’s also the perfect time to reset your habits.

While most of us think of spring cleaning as scrubbing floors or decluttering closets, it goes much deeper than that. The clutter in our homes is often a reflection of the clutter in our routines. Refining your daily habits can lead to a more organised, peaceful, and functional living space.

Spring Clean Your Daily Habits

A cluttered home doesn’t happen overnight—it’s often the result of accumulated habits. By making small, intentional changes in your daily routine, you can prevent clutter from building up and enjoy a more organised space without the stress of a major overhaul. Here are a few simple yet effective habits to incorporate into your everyday life:

• Tidy As You Go: Instead of waiting for the weekend, tackle clutter throughout the day. As you finish a task, take a moment to tidy the space around you. This keeps things manageable and prevents the buildup of mess.
• Clear Surfaces Nightly: Before you go to bed, take five minutes to clear kitchen counters, coffee tables, or any surface that collects items during the day. A clear space in the evening sets the tone for a productive, calm morning.
• Donate or Store: If you find yourself holding onto items you haven’t used in months, it’s time to declutter. Donate what you don’t need and organise the rest with space-saving options like our under-bed storage solutions, perfect for seasonal clothing or extra linens.

Expert Tips from Our Home Storage and Organisation Specialists

We reached out to our home organisation experts for their top tips on how to refine your habits and create a clean, clear routine. Here's what they had to say:

"Start small, start simple." – Don't get overwhelmed by trying to clean the whole house at once. Just focus on one room at a time, and you'll see progress faster than you think.

"Five minutes a day is all it takes!" – Every evening, I do a quick five-minute pickup. You’d be surprised how much mess you can prevent by just staying on top of it daily.

"Mark it on the calendar!" – Choose a decluttering date every season. It gives you the chance to regularly assess what you need and what you can donate or recycle.

"Less is more." – My go-to advice is to invest in multi-purpose products. They save space, reduce clutter, and help you stay organised without adding extra items to your home.
