Embrace the New Year with Clarity: Three Simple Steps to a Well-Organized Home

Eryn Donaldson • Jan 04, 2024

As we bid farewell to the old and bring in the new, it's the perfect time to refresh and declutter our living spaces. Forget overwhelming lists – we're diving into three game-changing steps to kickstart your home organization adventure.

Assess and Prioritize:

So, you're standing in the midst of your living space, wondering where to begin. Take a deep breath – we've got this! Start by identifying those trouble spots that seem to accumulate chaos and stress. Is it your overflowing closet, the chaotic kitchen counters, or perhaps your home office resembling a paper tornado?

Closets and Wardrobes: Let's tackle that closet monster first. Bid farewell to clothes that no longer spark joy (thanks, Marie Kondo!), and consider rotating your wardrobe seasonally for a breath of fresh air.

Kitchen Chaos: The kitchen – the heart of the home. Clear those countertops, declutter cabinets, and bid adieu to those forgotten, expired spices. Create order in your pantry, making it a haven for cooking inspiration.

Workspace Wonders: Working from home? Your workspace deserves some love too! Banish the chaos by organizing cables, clearing unnecessary papers, and ensuring your tools of the trade are within easy reach.



Create Functional Zones:

Now that we've assessed, it's time to conquer! Let's transform our space into functional zones that make daily life a breeze.

Bedroom Bliss: Your sanctuary should be just that – a sanctuary. Designate areas for sleeping, dressing, and storage. Invest in under-bed organizers and drawer dividers to keep the peace.

Kitchen Efficiency: Divide and conquer the kitchen chaos! Group items by function, from baking supplies to pantry staples. Consider investing in cute storage containers because, let's be honest, they make everything better.

Workspace Harmony: Whether it's a home office or a cozy nook, make it work for you. Keep essentials within arm's reach, corral those cables, and create distinct areas for different tasks. Productivity, here you come!



Sustain and Maintain:

Now that our spaces are in shipshape, let's talk longevity. How do we ensure our hard work lasts beyond January?

Daily Routines: Embrace the power of small, daily efforts. A few minutes each day to tidy up and return items to their designated spots can make all the difference.

Monthly Check-ins: Schedule monthly rendezvous with your space. Address any emerging clutter, tweak your organization systems, and stay on top of the game.

Seasonal Refresh: As the seasons change, use the opportunity to refresh your space. Rotate seasonal items, declutter, and revel in the satisfaction of a space that evolves with you.


There you have it – three simple steps to set the tone for an organized and stress-free year ahead. Embrace the new year with a sense of clarity and purpose, knowing that your home is your haven, tailored to support and enhance your unique lifestyle. Cheers to a fabulous, clutter-free year ahead!
