As the days grow longer and the flowers begin to bloom, there’s no better time to refresh and reorganize your home. Spring is the season of renewal, and what better way to embrace it than by decluttering your living spaces?
If you own a Craftmark home—especially one of our exquisite Kenmore estate homes—you already have the luxury of ample storage options. From spacious pantries to expansive walk-in closets, your home is designed to help you stay effortlessly organized. Here’s how to make the most of your space this season.

Decluttering Tips for a Fresh Start
Beyond leveraging your home’s built-in storage, consider these practical strategies to declutter efficiently:
- Adopt the “One-Year Rule” – If you haven’t used or worn an item in the past year, it’s time to donate or discard it.
- Create Donation & Recycling Stations – Designate a space for items that no longer serve you and make regular trips to local donation centers.
- Tackle One Room at a Time – Start small with a single room or even a single drawer to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
- Utilize Storage Bins & Labels – Clear bins and labels keep everything organized and easy to find, especially for seasonal items.
- Digitize Paper Clutter – Scan important documents and keep digital copies instead of stacks of paper cluttering your home.
Decluttering is the perfect way to revitalize the energy of your home after the long winter months.
Elevate Your Spring Cleaning Routine
Once your home is decluttered, it’s time to deep clean and refresh your space. Here’s how:
- Dust & Wipe Down Surfaces: Pay special attention to shelves, baseboards, and light fixtures.
- Rotate & Clean Seasonal Items: Wash and store winter bedding, coats, and decor properly.
- Refresh Your Air Quality: Open windows for fresh air, replace air filters, and add indoor plants to purify the air.
- Upgrade Your Organization Systems: Invest in drawer dividers, storage ottomans, and closet systems to maintain order year-round.
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a one-time thing–let the energy from decluttering kickstart a new habit that lasts for a season and beyond.
