As the professional organizer, your first order of business will be to bring some fresh air into the home\u2014throw open those windows and doors! Allowing the fresh air to circulate will not only clear out the stale feeling within the home, it will also get your clients motivated.\n\nNext, bring some fresh blooms into the home\u2014the warmer the weather, the more choices you\u2019ll have when it comes to plants and flowers. Start by bringing in lilacs or lilies, which bring a soft scent to increase the feeling of spring renewal.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Focus_on_Specific_Areas\"><\/span>2. Focus on Specific Areas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nYou already know the benefits of a task list when it comes to productivity, but it is an absolute must when getting the home ready for spring. A great way to organize your list is <a href=\"\/2016\/07\/professional-organizing-room-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> room-by-room<\/a>, which will allow you to organize your time and energy effectively. On this list, specific areas of focus should be as follows:\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/shutterstock_433343314-ed.jpg\" alt=\"professionally organized closet and wardrobe\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\">\n<ul>\n \t<li><b> Closets:<\/b> Whether full of jackets and boots in the entryway, or <a href=\"\/2016\/11\/professional-organizers-guide-organizing-wardrobe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> entire wardrobes <\/a>in the bedrooms, closets should be a main focus as you begin your spring cleaning. <a href=\"\/2015\/06\/top-tips-for-organizing-closets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> There are many ways to organize closets<\/a> to avoid overstuffing, and the dawn of a new season is the perfect time to put things in order!<\/li>\n \t<li><b> Home offices:<\/b> These spaces tend to become catch-all\u2019s for various documents, and paperwork can pile up very quickly! Discuss the home office with your client to determine what purpose it serves and how often it is used, and then depending on the state of the room, employ some tools such as a filing cabinet or desk file organizer to store documents. As the design professional, some advice to provide your client is to choose one day a week to devote to this room (including vacuuming, dusting and putting paper in its proper place).<\/li>\n \t<li><b> Basements:<\/b> In terms of neglected spaces in the home, basements are high on the list! As the spring sunlight begins to trickle in, assess the clutter in the basement and create three categories: keep, donate, toss. As your client explains how much they use (or don\u2019t use) a particular item, begin to rid the space of excess clutter to make a quick difference.<\/li>\n \t<li><b> Garages:<\/b> Garages are second only to basements as catch-all\u2019s for unused items, especially during the winter when items such as bicycles and lawn equipment need to be tucked away. The garage is also not a desirable place to spend a winter afternoon organizing. But when the warmer weather arrives, encourage your client to get out there and use the same decluttering system as the basement (keep, donate, toss), as well as <a href=\"\/2016\/11\/organizing-large-storage-spaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> these storage systems<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/shutterstock_217153444-ed.jpg\" alt=\"learning how to organize a bedroom for spring cleaning\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\">\n<ul>\n \t<li><b> Bedrooms<\/b>: Bedrooms are highly used spaces in the home. With the spring sunshine already bright, there\u2019s never been a better time to employ some DIY tricks! Purchase some colorful, yet practical, storage boxes for your client to store their winter clothes in (bonus points if the containers can slide underneath the bed!). Or, use chic baskets to store winter duvets and extra blankets in.<\/li>\n \t<li><b> Playrooms<\/b>: Playrooms are sanctuaries for children during the winter months, but once the temperature starts to rise they become abandoned in favor of days spent outdoors. Don\u2019t let that playroom be forgotten in the summer months\u2014be sure that toys and books are tucked away in a neat and orderly fashion, and that storage solutions such as stylish boxes, buckets, and baskets are used to keep items off the floor. This will create the illusion of an even bigger space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/shutterstock_411714250-ed.jpg\" alt=\"stylish organizing baskets to clean up a space\" width=\"672\" height=\"300\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Keep_it_Simple\"><\/span>3.
