Winter is the season to declutter!
Winter is an ideal time to declutter your home, creating a more organized and functional living space. Professional organizer Kenika Williams recommends focusing on five key areas:
1. Under the Bathroom Sink
Start by emptying the space, discarding expired products, and cleaning up any spills. Utilize clear organizers to maximize vertical space and keep toiletries accessible.
2. Pantry and Kitchen Cabinets
Remove expired foods and items you no longer use. Organize remaining items by category, and consider using dividers for utensils and lids to enhance functionality.
3. Bedroom Closet
Rotate seasonal clothing, ensuring your winter wardrobe is easily accessible. Donate or discard items that are damaged or no longer worn to streamline your closet.
4. Desk Area
Clear out old paperwork, organize supplies, and shred confidential documents. A tidy workspace can boost productivity and help you start the new year fresh.
5. Basement or Storage Area
Declutter these spaces by sorting through stored items, discarding what you no longer need, and organizing the rest. This preparation will make it easier to access items during the spring.
By focusing on these areas, you can create a more organized and efficient home environment during the winter months.
