7 things to declutter before summer starts – for a stress-free, organized space

declutter before summer

Though we often associate decluttering with a new year, or as part of our spring cleaning checklist after a long winter, a pre-summer declutter can also prove incredibly fruitful. After all, the warmer weather always feels like a fresh start, making it a great time to rid your home of things you no longer need, use, or even like. But what areas, rooms, or items should be the focus of a pre-summer declutter? 

If you’re searching for decluttering tips to help you tackle the job before summer begins, it can be helpful to attend to areas that will be more of a focus during the warmer months. For example, it's prime time to address areas in your home that may suffer from insect infestations during the summer, or areas full of summer-based items that you haven’t looked at in months. Similarly, it can also be a fantastic time to address items that you won’t use between June-September to be prepared for when the colder weather returns.
