Spring is officially here, and with it comes the urge to purge our closets and get rid of unnecessary clutter to usher in a fresh new season. Decluttering your home is great for lifting your overall mood and curating a space that feels good.

Looking to declutter your home this spring but don’t know where to start? We’ve got you. Here are the types of clutter that you should get rid of this spring.

Overlooked Corners

Start with the areas often overlooked because they’re hidden. This includes the bottom of your closets, attic spaces, under beds, and the “junk” drawers in your home. These spots become the final resting place for items we thought we might use one day but never do. Clearing them out frees up space but also reduces the mental weight of having those unfinished areas lurking in the back of your mind.

Items That No Longer Fit Your Aesthetic

It’s easy to accumulate items in your home that no longer fit the current aesthetic. Assessing each piece’s value in your life is a great way to streamline your space, allowing room for pieces that truly resonate with your personal design style.

Clothing, Shoes, and Accessories Clutter

Closets filled with unworn clothing, shoes, and accessories contribute to unnecessary clutter. Focus on what fits, flatters, and feels good to dramatically transform your closet space.

Multiples and Duplicates

From kitchen gadgets and utensils to linens and toiletries, homes tend to harbor multiples of items when you actually only need one. These duplicates take up valuable space. Consolidate these items, keeping only the ones you use, to simplify your living environment.

Paper Clutter

Despite living in the digital age, most of us have paper clutter that continues to pile up in the form of bills, magazines, flyers, and old documents. Tackling this paper trail by digitizing what you can, unsubscribing from physical subscriptions, and setting up a system for incoming mail can keep your surfaces clear and your mind at ease.

Expired Items

While cleaning out expired food should be a routine task, other areas, like medicine cabinets and makeup drawers, often get neglected. Expired medications, skincare, and cosmetics can take up considerable space and, more importantly, pose risks to your health. A thorough check of these items ensures your home is safe and spacious.
