As the temperatures warm up in the Portland, Oregon area, many of us are ready to make our homes lighter and brighter for spring. Whether you want to free up some space in your apartment at The Cordelia or add a home office, now is the time to declutter corners and organize shelves. Here are some easy tips to kickstart your spring cleaning.
How to Declutter and Get Ready for Spring
Spring cleaning and decluttering don’t have to be overwhelming. Stay focused by narrowing your focus. For example, you can efficiently declutter your bathroom by simply throwing out old toiletries, expired medicine, and towels. Adding new towels will refresh the space.
Move room by room and follow the same methodology. Get rid of expired food in the kitchen, toss the old Tupperware, and clear the counters by storing small appliances in cabinets. Start with the most lived rooms and work your way through the house.

- Add storage to your living space to keep things organized. Take advantage of under-the-bed drawers, storage benches, and door organizers as fun, easy ways to hide or contain clutter.
