From Soul to Home: A Spring Refresh to Clear the Clutter

Organization doesn’t have to feel overwhelming — in fact, it can be incredibly freeing once you take the first step. Start by removing everything from the space you’re tackling, whether it’s your pantry or closet. Then, sort every item into three clear piles: keep, donate, and toss it. 

Place your donate items into bags or boxes and schedule a pick-up or drop-off with your favorite charity right away.

For the toss-it pile, bag it up and haul it out quickly so clutter doesn’t creep back in. 

Now, with only your keepers left, reintroduce them into the space with intention — grouping items by type, color, or category, and using baskets, bins, or organizers to keep everything in its place. One simple step at a time, you’re creating a space that feels as good as it looks.

Entryway – Clear the path to new energy

• Remove shoes, jackets, and anything that doesn't belong and donate if not using it.

• Add a welcoming candle, hook, or basket for simplicity

• Say hello to the space that says hello to you

Living Room – Edit distractions, elevate connection

• Remove clutter from coffee tables and shelves

• Toss / recycle old magazines and books

• Donate or store décor that no longer sparks joy

• Add fresh flowers or a bowl of citrus for spring energy

Kitchen – Clear space for nourishment and flow

• Clean out expired pantry items and spices. 

• Clean out the fridge and freezer of anything 6 months old.

• Donate duplicates of mugs, gadgets,mis-matched cups and plates etc.

• Go throw each drawer and ask yourself if you've used this and if you can't come up with a reason to keep it - donate it.

• Get rid of old pans especially if they have knife marks tearing into the bottom. It's not only toxic it's going to cook up into your food the next time you use it.

• Wipe down surfaces and open windows while you do it

• Display fresh herbs or seasonal fruit

Bedroom – Create a sanctuary for rest and renewal

• Clear nightstands and under-the-bed storage. Donate or toss anything taking up un-necessary space.

• Wash all linens and rotate in lighter fabrics. Only keep 2 sets of sheets and donate the rest.

• Towels - go through and donate mis-matched ones, old and worn ones and donate them. This is a great time to purchase a new set of 8 and donate the rest.

• Add lavender or calming essential oils

• Ask: “Does this space feel like peace?”

Bathroom – Simplify your self-care

• Toss expired products and unused items

• Go drawer by drawer and minimize the mess. 

• Makeup and accessories - if it's over a year old toss it.

• Organize essentials into pretty containers or trays

• Add plants, a candle, or a small ritual corner for reflection

Closet – Let go to make room for what aligns

• Keep only what fits, feels good, and reflects who you’re becoming

• If you haven't worn it in 2 years  -let it go.

• Socks and underwear - get down to 7 - 10 pairs of each and throw the rest away.

• Workout clothes and Nighties - keep your faves and donate the rest.

• Donate what no longer resonates—bless it and release it

• Store winter items and rotate in spring tones and textures
