School will be starting up before we know it. As new school year approaches and summer winds down, it’s the perfect time to get your home organized and clean. A well-organized space will help set the tone for a successful and stress-free school year. Here are some essential and easy tips to help you prepare your home and create the ideal environment for learning and productivity.

The first step is to go through each room in your house and declutter. Sort through all that you’ve accumulated over the summer and donate items that you don’t need or use. This will help to free up space and will help to keep things more organized. Sort through your closets – go through clothes and shoes, setting aside what doesn’t fit and put away seasonal clothing, making room for new school attire.

A clean environment is essential for health and well-being. After the house is decluttered, do a deep house clean, focusing on high traffic areas, bathrooms and bedrooms.

Gather all necessary school supplies and organize them in a way that makes them easy to find and use. Label things in different drawers or containers in categories such as writing instruments, paper products and art supplies. Be sure to check what school supplies you have from last year that can be used again this year.

Use this time before the school year starts to tackle a home project – the kitchen, mudroom, laundry room, etc. Check out our Happening List winners to find a team of experienced professionals to help!
