Easy Ways To Declutter and Organize Your Home and Garden

If your home and garden are starting to look less like a retreat and more like a storage disaster, you’re in the right spot. Make your space more enjoyable and relaxing without any extra stuff in the way you don’t need. Here are some easy ways to declutter and organize your home and garden with tips that are actually doable—and maybe a few laughs along the way.

Kick Indoor Clutter to the Curb

Before you organize, you’ve got to ditch the stuff you don’t need. Grab a trash bag, queue your favourite playlist, and let’s get ruthless!

The Four-Box Method

Grab four boxes, one for each of these, Keep, Donate, Trash, and Relocate, and hit each room. Pick up every item and give it fate, no need to overthink. If you’re debating for more than ten seconds, it probably needs to go.

• Keep: You love it, you use it, it brings you joy or is truly sentimental.

• Donate: It’s in good shape, but you haven’t touched it in a year.

• Trash: It’s damaged or expired and you can’t repair it.

• Relocate: These are items that have homes; they just aren’t in their homes.

Do this in every section of your home, including bathrooms, the kitchen, and garage for an overall organized home.

Taming the Great Outdoors

With your home finally breathing easy, it’s time to wrangle the wild outdoors and organize your garden and shed areas.

DIY Your Way to an Organized Oasis

Upcycling is your wallet’s best friend. Use old crates, jars, and random furniture or grab a shipping pallet to create storage solutions. Just make sure the pallet is safe to use by checking for damaged wood and rusty or loose nails. With a little creativity, you can organize all kinds of things with these items.

Don’t Forget About Extra Spaces

Sheds are clutter magnets as many homeowners just drop off items and close the doors to the mess! But organizing the shedcan allow you to reclaim more space, and who knows you may find something you forgot you had. Step one, drag everything out onto the lawn, so you can see everything you have.

Group everything into piles, such as tools, toys, and camping gear. Hang up rakes, peg smaller gadgets, pop pots on shelves, and voilà: you can actually walk in your shed.

Habits for a Happy, Tidy Home

Now that your place looks amazing, let’s keep it that way. Remember these simple ideas when you are accumulating more things and organizing your space will be that much easier. First, use a one-in, one-out rule, which means if you buy a new one, the old one goes. Second, spend ten minutes every day tidying up, making it all manageable. Lastly, make sure everything has a home, and put it back when you are no longer using it.

Decluttering and organizing your home and garden allows you to feel good in your space. So, tackle that mess, kick back, and enjoy your fabulously organized home. You’ve so got this!
