Storing Winter Items

Before you start incorporating new décor, it’s important to store your winter items. Pack up your blankets, heavy curtains, and winter-themed décor and put them in storage. By doing this, you’ll create more space for new spring and summer items.

Decoration for A Smooth Transition

To make the transition from winter to spring and summer seamless, try incorporating items that bridge the gap between the two seasons. Opt for lightweight curtains in pastel colors or floral patterns to let the light in and add a touch of spring. Swap out your winter bedding for light and airy options in bright colors or bold prints. Adding potted plants and fresh flowers will not only add a pop of color but also improve the air quality in your apartment.

Getting Ready for Summer

As summer approaches, it’s time to think about ways to cool down your apartment. Swap out your winter candles for beachy scents like coconut or ocean breeze. Incorporate nautical elements like seashells, anchors, and ropes to give your apartment a beachy vibe. Consider investing in a few lightweight blankets in tropical prints to add some color and texture to your space.

Organizing Hacks, Dust Removers & More

There are various organizing hacks that you can use to declutter your apartment. Here are some ideas to refresh it:

Using Desk Organizers

Desk organizers can help keep your workspace clean if you have them in your apartment. You can use it to store pens, pencils, and more.

Utilize Vertical Space

There are likely many vertical spaces in your apartment, so it’s a perfect opportunity to use wall-mounted organizers and over-the-door storage. This will give you the floor space that you need while staying organized.

Use Microfiber cloths

Dust can quickly build up in your apartment over the winter. So, besides using a duster, you’ll want to use microfiber cloths as they easily wipe away dust on tables and smaller areas that dusters are too big for.

Cleaning Tips & Healthy Habits

Here are some tips that will help make cleaning a breeze and some healthy habits that you should practice:

Try to use natural cleaning products

It’s easier to just buy any cleaning products at the store, but natural cleaning products not only do their job but are better for the environment. It’s also better for your health as you won’t be inhaling toxic chemicals.

Stay Active

During the winter, it’s too easy to want to sit around and do nothing. But did you know that staying active not only improves your health but improves your mood as well?

Replace Filters

If you are using an air conditioner or air purifier, you’ll need to change the filters on a regular basis. This way, the recycled air can be as fresh as possible with no dust and allergens lingering in the air.
