Summer Home Organisation Ideas

Summer Home Organisation Ideas

Those of you who follow our blog know that we are not focused only on cleaning topics. In fact, even in our day-to-day work, home organisation and making a living place more cosy and inviting is a big thing. Since the sun is finally out and we can all feel the summer vibes, we thought a piece with some new home organisation ideas would be really cool.

 

Why change the look of your home every other month? Simply to feel more energised, excited and in the present moment.

 

Closet Reshuffle

 

First point of action, of course, is the closet. As the weather changes, it calls for a change in the wardrobe. Winter clothes and accessories should be neatly placed at the back and the lighter, brighter garments will now become the centerpiece of your closet arrangement. It is also a perfect opportunity to get rid of some items that no longer fit or have simply lost their magic for you. Let’s face it, you spent an entire year mostly at home. It’s perfectly normal if you put on some extra pounds since last summer.

 

Even More Free Space

 

Don’t hold onto things. We understand the emotional value of some items, but that’s no reason to clutter your living space. Especially during summer. Your home needs to breathe, so it can make breathing easier for you. Your ultimate goal for the warmer months should be to organise your home in a way that creates maximum free space. Objects that are not used frequently go in the garage, garden shed, storage space or are given away. Opt for minimal decorations, except for living plants. These are a great home interior enhancement idea for summer.

 

Pantry and the Fridge

 

Your pantry needs reworking. Hot days and strong sun call for lighter foods. Make sure you take the time to check for any expired items, clear potential spills and organise again in jars or containers, carefully labelled for convenience. The fridge will need more frequent checks than during other periods and you may want to introduce an organising system that helps you cycle foods easily, based on their shelf life.

 

Bright Colours Galore

 

If you want to be in a constant good mood at home, bring more bright colours in. Neon and electric shades scream summer. If you want something a notch more subtle, opt for the traditional sunny yellow, orange, sky blue and turquoise. These are all mental and mood stimulators, which means you will feel more energised and creative. No wall redecoration needed (unless you are down for it). Simply change the cushion covers, put up new paintings or removable wall decorations. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can exchange the arm chairs for comfy bright beanbags.

 

Garden Shine

 

You certainly can’t ditch the garden work anymore! The weather is inviting you outside and you need to take care of the lawn, the outdoor furniture and probably organise the shed. If you have a patio, invest in professional high pressure cleaning. It will brighten up the look of your garden and make it safer for outdoor play.

Essential Spring Cleaning Areas and Tasks

I know it doesn’t feel like it, considering the recent storms and extreme weather conditions, but spring will eventually get here. And with it, our natural urge to make our homes a more welcoming, pleasant and fresh place to relax and spend time at, increases. In the past, spring was the traditional time when most of the heavy cleaning was done. And although today, we are not confined by the season changes to deep clean our homes, the revival of nature still feels like the perfect time to revive our living environment.

So, what are the essential spring cleaning areas and tasks you shouldn’t skip?

The Bathroom

I am sure you take weekly care of your bathroom as one of the most important areas in your home to keep sanitised at all times. But every once in a while, the bathroom needs more than just a few scrubs. Your shower head might need a bit of pampering to remove limescale. Also, your toilet bowl may need a deep sanitising. Don’t forget to clean the inside and behind the vanity.

The Kitchen

There are a lot of things you need to consider for spring cleaning in the kitchen. Starting from the reorganisation of the cupboards. You will need to clean them from the inside too. Move on to the pantry - make sure you throw away everything with past use by due date and dust and polish the shelves. Finding cobwebs in there isn’t that uncommon, especially if you didn’t perform deep cleaning in the autumn, so make sure you get rid of them.

The Oven

There’s no need to clean your oven weekly, but this is certainly one of the essential items on your spring cleaning checklist. It’s not an easy task, so allow a couple of hours or more just for the oven cleaning. Alternatively, you can book a professional oven cleaning service and let them do the unpleasant work, while you move on to lighter cleaning tasks around the house.

The Fridge

Still in the kitchen, don’t skip a deep clean of your fridge. It is a perfect opportunity to take all food out and clean the shelves and racks. Once you are done, try to clean also behind the fridge. It needs space to “breathe” and you should make sure there isn’t large dust built-up at the back.

The Washing Machine and Dishwasher

Those two appliances are in charge of doing some of your house chores, but after all that cleaning, they need to be cleaned as well. Follow the manuals if you have never cleaned your washing machine or dishwasher before. It’s not so hard, but be prepared for a not so pleasant view.

The Windows

It may be a bit pointless to clean your windows from the outside, considering the heavy amount of rain falling during the spring months, yet the inside should not be missed! Polish your windows along with the frames to bring more light in the rooms and boost the general positive atmosphere in your home.

Spring cleaning also involves a deep clean under and behind all heavy furniture and appliances. We wouldn’t recommend you doing it all on your own. Ask a friend or a family member to help. If that’s not an option, then book a professional spring cleaning service from a reliable local company. Bredon Hill Cleaning Services would love to be your partner on your spring cleaning project. Let’s invite light, goodness and cosiness in your home together!

Spring Home Organisation Ideas

You need to start thinking of reorganising your home. Why? Because a positive change in scenery often leads to higher productivity and boosted mood. Also, after the long winter months, there’s a lot of clutter that might be sitting in all areas of your home. Perfect opportunity to get rid of it! Here are a few spring home organisation ideas.

Make Sure Everything Has Its Place

The first step towards organising your home for spring is finding a place for all your items. If you can’t find a place for it and you don’t use it often enough, you don’t need it. Throw it away, sell it or give it to charity. The rest of your items should have a clearly allocated space in your home minimising the opportunity for creating more clutter. If it helps, create a chart with the different areas and the items that belong there.

Make the Most of Your Vertical Space

If you don’t have much space in your property, try to utilise as much of the doors and walls as possible. You can install wall mounted shelves and cupboards or Door System hangers. The former you can use to store books and magazines, as well as some sentimental gifts and family pictures. The latter is perfect for hanging your jackets and coats, scarves, bags and so on. You can even install a vertical shoe holder on your bedroom or closet door. These, however, would work mainly for flat shoes. Heels would be a challenge.

Give Special Attention to Your Closet

The general rule of closet organisation is that if you add one you need to take one out. So, if there’re items you haven’t worn for over a year they need to go. Same applies to clothes with some defects due to excessive wearing and pieces you simply stopped liking for some reason. It’s your choice what you want to do with these items. You can safely dispose of them as per waste collection guidelines of your council. If your clothes are in a condition, you may choose to sell them or give them to charity.

There are a lot of ways in which to organise your closet. Firstly, put the winter clothes to the back and bring the lighter, more colourful clothes to the front. Utilise the vertical space in your closet to store scarves, belts, shoes, jewellery and other accessories. Drawer dividers are also a good idea to maximise and organise the space for your lingerie and socks.

Don’t forget your Garden, Shed and Garage

Nice weather means you will be spending more time outside. So, if you have a garden, you need to make it look more welcoming. If you love flowers, now is the right time to plant some, trim the grass and fix any damage caused by the recent storms.

Your shed probably needs a touch or two. It may be full of clutter you were trying to not store in the house over the winter. That clutter shouldn’t be sitting in your garden shed either!

The situation with the garage is maybe very similar to the one in the shed. Allocate a space for every tool and item you have in the garage, perform a deep clean and enjoy a clean space where you can find anything you need with no more than two looks.

If you need help with your home organisation, spring cleaning or simply the maintenance of a clean and healthy living environment, call us! Our friendly cleaners would love to bring their expert skills and knowledge to your place and transform it into a fortress of relaxation.

home organisation ideas for the summer

10 Home Organisation Ideas for the Summer

With summer comes sun, heat and longer days to enjoy it, but it also brings the inevitable clutter that has been accumulating itself since this time last year. And before it's time to get back to school, we want to give you 10 home organisation ideas for this summer and many more to come.

1. Put the winter stuff away

First step of summer home organisation is putting winter out of sight and out of mind. That includes all of the coats, boots, gloves and sleds that come with it. Ideally, this means packing them into boxes labelled with the season and putting them in the attic or garage. However, if you don't have that space, the back of a cupboard or wardrobe is just as good a place. Let's not forget summers in the UK are not particularly long, so you might need those items sooner than you expected.

2. Preserve the stored clothes

Here's a useful home organisation idea not only for the summer, but whenever you are in the mood for organising. Use cedar, lavender, and/or chamomile to ward away moths and leave your clothes smelling fresh. No one likes musty sweaters when it's time to pull them out again.

3. Put the summer items in the spotlight

Your next step of summer home organisation would be to pull out the summer equipment. Sunscreen and insect repellent bottles should be moved to the front of the toiletries cupboard. In our opinion, the best place for them is in the bathroom, next to the toothpaste to serve as a daily reminder to put your long-term health first. Soothing gels against mosquito bites and sunburns should also find their way to the forefront of the toiletries this season.

4. The garden needs some organising too

Summer is the season of barbeques and long weekends with friends and family at a house party. Preparing your garden for guests is a valid home organisation for the summer. Start by mowing the lawn and perhaps, invest in sprinklers if the weather forecast doesn't predict much rain in the coming weeks. Pull out and clean the grill and make sure all the clutter is put away. It's always worthwhile checking with your neighbours before you send out invitations for a party.

5. Fridge decluttering

Take advantage of the pleasant weather and its influence on your body. Restock your fridge with lighter foods; get rid of the heavy (and expensive!) cuts of meat that are more suited for the colder months.

6. Do you have enough shade?

Back to the garden organisation ideas - be sure to invest in an outdoor umbrella or garden canopy. Especially if your garden greenery doesn't provide enough shade to.

7. Wardrobe organisation and decluttering

Make use of the longer summer days and take that opportunity to declutter your wardrobe. You know that dress has been sitting there for too long. You won't wear it soon, so why don't you just give it to charity? Perhaps there are clothes that don't fit you anymore or are incredibly out of fashion. All they do in your closet is preventing you from getting new ones. So, do yourself (and others who are less fortunate) a favour - take those old or unused clothes to a charity shop.

8. Have a carboot sale

Well, if you aren't feeling all that kind-hearted, you can always sell your unwanted items in a carboot or a garden sale. It is a great aid to summer home organisation and it could earn you some extra cash to spend on your next holiday.

9. Give your tumble dryer a break

If you don't have allergies to pollen or other things found in nature, use the nice summer weather to help save the planet. Substitute the use of your tumble dryer with a drying rack or clothes line outside. As a bonus you get of a pleasant, fresh scent.

10. It's finally time for renovation

A good home organisation idea for the summer is to plan and execute your home renovations. Order by necessity and check deals with multiple local companies or even DIY it!

Good luck with your summer home organisation and don’t forget to have fun around it! Don’t get too caught up in the chores, after all, it's time for joy and relaxation.
