Summer cleaning: Make space for what matters
When the days are longer and the sun finally shows its face, most of us feel the urge to refresh our homes – and our routines. Summer is the perfect time to reset – not just mentally, but physically. And the best place to start? Your space.
Here are our top tips to make your summer clear-out easier and smarter.
1. Let the seasons decide
Summer’s here – so why are your winter jumpers still hogging the hallway? Pack away coats, boots and scarves into labelled containers and store them out of sight. A small switch, but one that instantly lightens your home and your mood.
2. Say goodbye to ‘just in case’
We all have that drawer (or cupboard) full of maybes – tangled cables, broken remotes, batteries of unknown origin. If it hasn’t been useful in the past year, it’s just taking up space. Ten minutes now will make a big difference every day.
3. Clean your limbo zone
Garages, lofts and sheds are where clutter goes to hide. But if something’s been untouched for six months, do you really need it? Be honest. Rehome, recycle, donate – or let it go altogether.
4. Make room for summer fun
Got BBQs, DIY projects or visitors on the cards? A bit of prep now means less stress later. Reclaim your garage from last year’s paddling pool. Tidy the spare room before guests arrive. Get your space working for you, not against you.
5. Remove, don't relocate
Shifting stuff from one room to another isn’t clearing – it’s just delaying. If it doesn’t have a purpose or place, let it go. Summer’s about being in the moment. An open, calm home makes space for more of what matters.
