6 Small Spaces You Need to Declutter Today

Spring is almost here and you know what that means… Spring Cleaning! Decluttering your home after a long winter indoors might seem overwhelming, but don’t look at the big picture. Think small. Pick one space in your home and make it tidy. Then another. Before you know it the whole house will be sparkling and organized! Read below to discover 6 Small Spaces You Need to Declutter Today.

1. Spice Cabinet

The first of the 6 Small Spaces You Need to Declutter Today is your spice cabinet. If you find yourself cooking dinner frequently, organizing your spices will help you save time in the long run. It’s also important to go through your spices and baking supplies in order to check expiration dates. The best part is this space in your home will take no time at all to straighten up and you will feel such a sense of accomplishment when it’s finished.

2. Shoe Rack

Another small space in your home to quickly declutter would be your shoe rack. Be honest with yourself. How many shoes do you actually wear? How many shoes are way too old to be holding on to? Be merciless and take 5 minutes to organize your shoes. Donate the nice ones and toss the bad. You’ll be glad you did!

3. Under the Kitchen Sink

I don’t know about you, but one of the most easily disorganized spaces in my home is under the kitchen sink. It’s where we keep cleaning supplies and trash bags, so we frequent that cupboard several times throughout the day. When you are in a hurry it’s hard to remember to keep things tidy under there. Out of sight, out of mind right? Maybe, but a messy space is more likely to cause you stress later. Take some time today to clean under the kitchen sink.

4. Gardening Supplies

A unique space to declutter today would be your gardening supplies. Spring will be here before you know it, and we will all have to start mowing and weeding again. Before the warmth of spring arrives, take a look at all your gardening supplies from last year. What is expired or of no use to you? What might you need more of before the ground thaws? Go ahead and get prepared now to save yourself the hassle later.

5. Highest Kitchen Cupboards

The highest cupboards in your kitchen are often filled with the least-used items. Such as: stacks of plastic cups, flower vases, hosting dishes, etc. Again, be honest with yourself. What aren’t you using? What is broken or worthless to you now, but is taking up precious storage space in your kitchen? Declutter your highest kitchen cupboards today, but be careful when climbing up on that ladder!

6. Tool Box

The final suggestion I have in my list of 6 Small Spaces You Need to Declutter Today is your tool box. I know, this one is tricky. What if you need something at some point in the future? Well if you haven’t used some of the things in your tool box in the past few years, then you might not need those things. Or, on the flip side, maybe you use everything in there, but the disorganization makes it difficult for you to find the right tool when you need it. Set aside time today to declutter your tool box and tidy it up for the next repair emergency.
