Happy Birthday to...hutch&putch Living! For the second birthday of our interior line, we have released a practical storage basket as a goodie bag. Not only does it contain valuable treasures from our cooperation partners, but it also supports you perfectly with spring cleaning! Because in January, at the start of the new year, it is incredibly relieving to get rid of old baggage and bring a bit of order back into the apartment. You can use the practical bag wonderfully to stylishly store things in it, for example towels, favorite magazines or cosmetic products.
Decluttering describes the traditional "clearing out" and we probably don't all like it that much, but it's good to regularly get rid of old things and make room for new things. And you always feel better in a tidy and orderly environment. So here are our 3 top tips to make decluttering a little easier for you:
1. Schedule the decluttering into your calendar
Who likes to clear out voluntarily? Probably not many. So if you keep putting off tackling your dresser or cupboards, then make a firm appointment in your calendar. Especially if you break it down into small chunks, it's just a household task and not so bad! For example, write down a list of all the rooms or "crusty corners" that you would like to tackle and then only tackle a small part of them at a time.
2. Use different "boxes" for division
Standing in front of a packed wardrobe or an overflowing bathroom cabinet often leaves us at a loss, and we would prefer to keep everything and postpone clearing out. The perfect solution if you feel overwhelmed: make different boxes before clearing out, in which you can sort your things. For example: a box for things you definitely want to throw away. A box for "maybe" - you can tackle this again at a later date. And a "donation box" for everything you want to pass on.
3. Combine cleaning with something fun
Cleaning and decluttering may not be the most fun household chore in itself, but if you put on some headphones and listen to your favorite podcast or a good playlist at the same time, it will definitely be a lot easier! Decluttering will also be quicker with the prospect of a good reward, so maybe plan to have your favorite meal and a good series afterwards!
