Ah, springtime—the season of renewal, rebirth, and…spring cleaning! With longer days and temperatures rising, we also want to feel bright and cheery in all areas of our lives. Do you also feel the urge to freshen up your living spaces and declutter your digital lives? From decluttering emails to revamping our iPhone cases with new styles, we’ve got you covered.
If you're like us and feel ready to tackle both your physical space and tech accessories, we've got you covered with some practical spring cleaning tips to make decluttering endeavors a breeze.
Declutter and Organize Your Space
Let's start with what we see first—physical clutter. Over the winter months, stuff accumulates, leaving our homes cramped and chaotic. Here are strategies to streamline your space:
Start with a Plan
Before starting, create a checklist of areas in your home that need attention. This ensures we don’t forget anything. The key is to progress through the lists where each area receives the care and attention it deserves.
One Room at a Time
Tackling an entire house in one day is overwhelming. Instead, focus on one room at a time. Set aside dedicated blocks of time to declutter and organize each space. Begin with the areas that tend to collect the most clutter, like:
• Closets
• Drawers
• Door hooks
• Countertops
Three Box Method
Decluttering with the 3-Box Method is at the heart of spring cleaning. Sort through belongings and categorize them into items boxes: keep, donate/sell, or trash. As we go through each room, place items into the appropriate box.
Pro tip: Be ruthless and honest about what you truly need and use. Removing excess items creates space for new additions and a more organized and calming environment.
Create Storage Solutions
Invest in stylish home decor that doubles up as storage solutions. They maximize space and keep things organized. Try the following items:
• Cute ottomans with hidden compartments
• Set of storage bins for under-bed storage
• Woven baskets for grouping similar items
• Hanging organizer for your closet
Finding creative ways to store our belongings can make a big difference. We’ll be more motivated to maintain a clutter-free home with nice storage.
Digitize Paper Clutter
Paper clutter is one of the things that quickly spiral out of control! Let’s digitize important documents and paperwork. Use a document scanner or phone scanning app to create digital copies. This reduces physical clutter and makes it easy to locate/ access important documents when needed.
Rearrange and Refresh
After decluttering, consider rearranging furniture for a fresh perspective. Sometimes, a new layout can make a room feel like a brand-new space. Let’s add vibrant touches to inject brightness into our homes, such as:
• Decorative pillows
• Indoor plants
• Wall art
• Sculptures
• Cute rugs
Freshen Up Your Tech
Now, let's turn our attention to digital clutter. This is sneaky and tends to accumulate on our gadgets. Overflowing email inboxes? Disorganized photo libraries? Mishmashed files? Check! Here are some tips to help clean up our digital lives:
Upgrade with Stylish Accessories
Hey there! Let's talk about something important: phone cases and hygiene. If you've had your trusty phone case for ages, it might be time to upgrade with cute phone covers. Just think about it: we hold our phones all day. Who knows what kind of germs are lurking on it? Even if we wash our hands, they aren’t always squeaky clean.

Your tech gadgets require love, too. Begin by giving them a thorough cleaning, following the manufacturer's instructions. Update software to improve performance and security. Do the following:
• Go through your apps and delete any that you no longer use or need.
• For those you’re keeping, do an update for a performance boost.
• Organize the remaining apps into folders to keep your home screen tidy and easy to navigate.
Clean Up Your Email
Is your email inbox overflowing with unread messages? It can be overwhelming to look at a crowded inbox. Take some time to declutter it by:
• Deleting old messages

• Archiving old but important emails
• Creating folders to organize incoming messages
