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.
