Mid-Year Declutter: Why Summer is the Perfect Time for a Home Reset
We’re halfway through the year, and summer is in full swing! This makes July the ideal time for a mid-year home reset. The energy of summer—longer days, warmer weather, and a more relaxed pace—provides the perfect opportunity to declutter and refresh your space and your mind. At Declutter and Reset, we believe that taking time to organize and clear out clutter mid-year not only helps you create a more peaceful home, but also sets the stage for a productive and stress-free second half of the year.
Here’s why summer is the perfect time for a declutter and reset, along with tips to get you started.
Why Summer is Ideal for a Mid-Year Declutter
Reset Your Space to Help Reach the Goals you Set at the Beginning of the Year
Remember New Year’s Resolutions/Intentions? Mid-year is a great time to check in with yourself and assess where you’re at. Do you need a fresh start for your health routine (time to clean out the fridge and restock with enjoyable, good for you foods) or make space to work out? A mid-year declutter allows you to reset and reclaim your space, making your home feel lighter and more enjoyable for the remainder of the year.Enjoy the Relaxed Summer Vibe
With a slower pace and more daylight, summer offers the perfect opportunity to tackle decluttering projects without the stress. The longer, warmer days make it easier to take on projects in a more relaxed way, whether it's organizing your closet or clearing out the garage.Make Room for Summer Fun
Whether you’re hosting barbecues, having guests stay over, or simply spending more time at home, decluttering now will make your space feel more open and welcoming. By clearing out excess items, you’ll have more room to enjoy your home and host gatherings without the stress of a cluttered space.
Tips for Your Mid-Year Declutter (hint: we can help)
Start Small and Set Realistic Goals
You don’t have to tackle your whole house at once! Pick one or two key areas that need attention. Maybe it’s your kitchen, your bedroom closet, or your refrigerator. Break it down into smaller tasks, and set realistic goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Contact me for a session and we can make progress together!
Focus on High-Impact Areas
Target areas where clutter tends to accumulate the most and that will make the biggest difference in your day-to-day life. Think of places like:
The entryway: Clear out shoes, bags, and clutter and make a home for pool bags and hiking gear.
The kitchen: Declutter countertops, refrigeration, junk drawers, and pantry items.
The living room: Tidy up books, magazines, and decor to create a more relaxing space.
The patio, deck or lanai: Set up an easy to maintain space for reading or hosting.
