Weekend Home Project: Declutter Key Spaces to Refresh Your Home 🧹📦
If you’ve been meaning to tidy up but haven’t had the time, this weekend is the perfect chance to tackle a few key areas of your home and give it a fresh, open feel—without spending a dime. Whether you're preparing to sell your home or simply want to breathe easier in your space, decluttering is one of the fastest and most effective improvements you can make.
Here are a few easy, impactful ways to declutter your home this weekend—starting with the areas that matter most:
1. Start with the Entryway 🚪
This is the first impression your home makes—for both you and your guests.
✅ Clear out extra shoes, coats, bags, or mail.
✅ Add a small basket for keys and sunglasses, and tuck shoes into a rack or closet.
✅ Wipe down surfaces and add a fresh scent with a candle or diffuser.
Why it matters: A clean, organized entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home and instantly makes it feel more welcoming.
2. Declutter the Kitchen Counters 🍽️
The kitchen is a key selling point in any home—and it’s often the most cluttered.
✅ Clear off small appliances you don’t use daily.
✅ Remove excess utensils, gadgets, or mail piles from counters.
✅ Wipe down surfaces and group essentials into a tray or basket to contain visual clutter.
Bonus Tip: Declutter one drawer or cabinet while you're at it—especially the dreaded “junk drawer.”
3. Tidy Up the Living Room 🛋️
Your main living space should feel open and relaxing.
✅ Remove unnecessary décor, stacks of magazines, or extra blankets.
✅ Sort through books, remote controls, and toys.
✅ Use stylish bins or baskets to contain loose items without sacrificing style.
Why it matters: A clean, minimal living space photographs better and feels more peaceful for everyday life.
4. Attack One Closet 👚👟
Pick just one to start—bedroom, hallway, or linen closet.
✅ Pull everything out and sort into keep, donate, or toss piles.
✅ Be honest: if you haven’t used it in the past year, it probably needs to go.
✅ Use clear bins, labels, and shelf organizers to create order.
Why it matters: Organized closets show off your home’s storage space—and make your day-to-day life easier too.
5. Bonus: Declutter Your Digital Space 💻📱
It’s not physical, but it matters!
✅ Delete old emails, unused apps, and organize your desktop or phone.
✅ Store real estate files, tax docs, or renovation ideas in labeled folders.
Decluttering = Big Value with Little Cost
Buyers love homes that feel clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Decluttering isn’t just good for your peace of mind—it can help you sell faster and for more money. Even if you're not planning to move, it’s the easiest way to fall back in love with your space.
