Don’t Wait for Spring to Start Cleaning
As you continue to rotate, update, or modernize your functional style determine your capacity to let things go along the way. Create a versatile theme with a multipurpose function when introducing new pieces across categories.
Do you enjoy shopping? Most people do. Staying on top of product trends can be costly. Whether you’re searching for custom specialty items, home decor, or seasonal clothing ask yourself one question. Do I have space to store this stuff? It’s a rhetorical question. Over the years we collect certain things we no longer have use for. Truth is most of us like the idea of having easy and accessible options at our fingertips available at any time of day. We’ve become the concierge to our own VIP experience. And, there’s nothing wrong with that.
Perhaps, many people would agree that enjoying the fruits of our labor in some respects has become more challenging. The cost of living mixed with the demands of work can often create an environment with overwhelm and mental exhaustion. So, it’s no surprise that people are looking for ways to create an ambiance through some form of internal or external adornment. If you choose to embark upon that journey, proceed with caution.
Try to be conscious of the things you buy. Afterall, big retail chains aren’t the only ones providing great deals. Shop intentionally to avoid missed opportunities on essential items. Plan your purchases for seasonal big-ticket spending. It may also be beneficial to diversify your items whenever possible to support artists, entrepreneurs, and small businesses within your local community or points of interest.

Construct a useful living space to hold and preserve old items in order to make space for new purchases.
Separating from the things in life we manage to collect over time is not an easy task and for some may cause anxiety. Take your time. The objective is not to remove a lifetime of keepsakes and memories. Unclutter your domain by taking inventory. Some items can be repurposed, sold, donated, or placed in storage. Organize your approach.
