‘Tis the season for spring cleaning! It can be a daunting task organizing all the clutter piled up over winter and deep cleaning your home, but it’s an important change-of-season step for home happiness and personal well being. During the home building design process, Signature Homes can help create built-in ways to keep your home cleaner and less cluttered.
Storage
Consider built-in storage options when planning your custom home. Walk-in wardrobe and linen closets, kitchen, game room and garage cabinets and built-in countertop and vanity drawers will ensure everything has a place. When it comes to areas cluttered with everyday items, like junk drawers, get organized by laying a non-slip liner in the bottom of the drawer, and sorting all of the drawer’s contents into aesthetically pleasing storage options, like repurposed plates, bowls or jewelry boxes. This will keep items separate and provide easy access.
Wardrobe Closets
Building a gorgeous, spacious, custom closet will provide all the room you need for clothing, shoes and accessories. When you feel the need to reorganize, remove everything from the closet and KonMari your wardrobe. Marie Kondo suggests holding each item, asking yourself, “does this spark joy?” If the spark isn’t there, it’s time to give it up. Another tactic is to place clothing on hangers in the closet all facing the same way. Once clothing is worn, washed and ready to be put away, hang it up in the opposite direction. When spring cleaning season rolls around again, you’ll easily see which garments get attention and which you might need to part with.
Countertops
Choosing the right countertop makes a difference. Signature Homes offer great countertop options when building your custom home. For granite, we recommend sealing for easy cleaning and shine. If not professionally sealed, granite countertops can absorb water, leaving dark stains behind. Once sealed, water will bead on the granite and make cleaning a dream.
Spring cleaning combats seasonal allergies and also boosts mental health. According to the Cleveland Clinic, cleaning the home is part of the renewal of spring. This renewal lifts our mood and releases tension.
