The Kids are back to school and the parents are back to work. Christmas decorations are (mostly) back in their boxes in the attic and the Baileys put away for another year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most people wait until the evenings get brighter for the spring clean. We here at Meadows &amp; Byrne love a New Year declutter. With the influx of new there must be an output of old and we think January is actually the right time for this rejuvenation to your home and here is why&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With most shops having their New Year sales you can score some incredible deals on storage items. Whether that\u2019s just some new food containers or something as fabulous as a smart storage ottoman!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone wants to start the New Year with a clear mind and clear space. Unless you are superhuman, garnering the energy to get up and start the cleaning process in that strange vortex of time between Christmas and New Year\u2019s where the days all meld in to one epic lazy day is virtually impossible. (At least for me!) Once you are back to the \u2018real life\u2019 headspace it\u2019s much easier to make decisions based on your everyday lifestyle on what to donate, dump and keep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The donations are needed! A lot of households do at least a small clear out Pre-Christmas. With family and friends visiting you naturally want your space to look its best. A lot of donations are made in November &amp; December which is amazing! However there is usually a lull in donations to charities between December and the spring clean but there\u2019s never a lack of need. As we head in to what looks like it\u2019s going to be a cold start to the year your donations at a time that isn\u2019t as heavily populated as others could mean the world to someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I have convinced you of a January declutter let me give you a few tips on how to ensure you get the most out of this clear out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Declutter slowly &#8211; <\/strong>When we start we can sometimes get a rush of energy. We want to do everything at once. Take your time maybe take a room a day or even a room a week. This is a big change for some and the slow but steady approach can be so rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The floor is your declutter friend &#8211; <\/strong>When it comes to surfaces less is more. Clear off all the surfaces and lay everything out on the floor. Add back only the essentials. Allocate the rest to drawers, storage hampers like our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/cotton-rope-basket-set-of-2.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Cotton Rope Basket<\/em><\/a> or hang them from hooks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/cotton-rope-basket-set-of-2.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cotton.jpg\" alt=\"image of Cotton Rope Basket  Empty and image of it full.\" class=\"wp-image-5730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cotton.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cotton-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cotton-768x485.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make the mess beautiful &#8211; <\/strong>As much as I would like my kitchen to look like a showroom, I do in fact have to eat. A lot of food packaging doesn\u2019t really fit my clean aesthetic. One of my favourite ways to store my food is in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/oxo-good-grips-pop-container-collection.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>OXO- Good Grips Pop Containers<\/em><\/a>. I use these for my pasta, flour, sugar, cereal anything that otherwise might come in a bulky container. Putting these on a high shelf or an open cabinet is not all for aesthetic. I can clearly see how much I have left in each container. No more late night shopping when you realise you weren\u2019t as well stocked as you thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/pop-cereal-dispenser-collection.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"632\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Pop.jpg\" alt=\"Image of OXO Good grips container ranhe, various sizes and shapes.

Will I wear it again? Definitely not. If you haven\u2019t worn it in six month to a year it\u2019s time for it to go. It helps to imagine that t-shirt getting the love it deserves from someone who may pick it up in a charity shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shoes away &#8211; <\/strong>When you get home from a long day all you want to do is kick off your shoes and put your feet up. In my case that can lead to stray shoes by the door, next to the couch and even in the hall. To spare yourself the shoe hunt in the morning before work, use a shoe storage box like the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/hallway-stool-shoe-storage.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Hallway Stool Shoe Storage<\/em><\/a>. That way you know exactly where to look.

Taking on a massive job can seem overwhelming and for a lot of us that means it never gets done. If you want to continue to keep your place at a steady level of clean, ten minutes a day can make all the difference. Set a timer and do a quick sweep. If you\u2019re mid-job when your timer goes off drop it you can pick it back up tomorrow for the next blitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Happy Cleaning everybody!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theglitterguide.com\/2020\/01\/10\/declutter-new-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">theglitterguide.com<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/972469\/marynliles\/decluttering-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">parade.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although it felt a new year would never come we are officially in to 2022.
