Presidents Day weekend is a great time to take stock of your space and tackle the clutter that’s been hiding everywhere from your office to your closets. As winter winds down and spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to reclaim your home, clear your surfaces, and create room for the things that truly matter.
From overflowing drawers to packed garages, clutter can sneak into every corner of your life. The good news? With a little planning and a few simple strategies, you can create a more organized, functional, and peaceful home—starting with these common trouble spots.
1. Home Office
- Go digital: Scan documents you don’t need in paper form.
- Organize cords, chargers, and office supplies in labeled bins.
- Purge old paperwork, expired warranties, and outdated files.
2. Closets
- Check for clothes you haven’t worn in a year.
- Donate items that are still in good condition.
- Consider off-season storage—Prime Storage units are perfect for keeping bulky winter coats or summer gear out of the way.
3. Garage
- Sort tools, sports equipment, and seasonal items.
- Use shelves or bins to group items by category.
- Store infrequently used items off-site to free up room for daily use.
4. Kitchen & Pantry
- Toss expired foods and organize cabinets.
- Store bulky appliances you rarely use in a storage unit.
- Create a system to keep frequently used items within easy reach.
5. Basement & Attic
- Evaluate boxes and bins—are you holding onto things you’ll never use?
- Clearly label anything you keep, so it’s easy to find later.
- Consider storing sentimental items in a climate-controlled storage unit to protect them.
6. Kids’ Playroom
- Rotate toys seasonally to prevent overwhelm.
- Donate or discard broken or unused toys.
- Use clear bins or labeled containers to keep toys organized and accessible.
7. Living Spaces
- Declutter surfaces like coffee tables, nightstands, and countertops.
- Keep decorations seasonal to prevent visual clutter year-round.
- A few well-chosen storage bins or furniture pieces can make a huge difference.
