Make a checklist to stay on track with all cleaning and Organization projects.

Don’t take on too many projects at once. Start with one task in one room at a time.

Nothing says spring cleaning like a good purge. Pick a room, take inventory of everything you have and make piles to keep and donate. When in doubt, throw it out.

Need a few decor upgrades? Spring cleaning is the perfect time. Add simple chic shelving to the living room or colorful accents to the kitchen.

Make a little extra cash this spring and hold a garage sale, the perfect way to get rid of unwanted items during the annual clean.

Warmer weather means outside fun. Clean dirt and grime off patio furniture and even the grill.

Get ahead of the game and stock up on all necessary supplies in advance, especially kitchen & bath necessities like hand soap, air freshener, paper towels, bath tissue.

Good-bye winter, hello spring. Put away boots, winter coats and hats and make room for sneakers, rain boots and umbrellas.

Get creative with storage to ensure everything is in its place and easily accessible. Incorporate underthe-sink organizers and door rack in the linen closet Unscrew the faucet aerators, sink sprayers and shower heads, and soak them in equal parts vinegar and water solution. Let them soak for an hour, then rinse with warm water.

Tips for Maintaining an Organized Living Room

by Caren Baginski 1. Welcome the Wastebasket

If trash tends to accumulate in the family room, adding a wastebasket might cut down on clutter. Few family rooms actually have a wastebasket in them; they’re not attractive and they can smell. Counteract this by choosing a can that fits your room’s decor.

If you know food will be thrown away here, get one with a lid and some deodorizing trash bags.

2. Keep Flat Surfaces Clutter-free Papers, books, brochures and magazines tend to accumulate on flat surfaces all around the house, and the family room is no different. In fact, the family room is often more cluttered because it’s a central gathering place in the house. A two drawer lateral file is an ideal recommendation - If you don’t have the floor space, a stackable file cart will do.

3. Control Out-of-Control Cords Until the world goes wireless, we’ll forever be stuck with tangled cables behind our entertainment centers. Fortunately, there are several options for taming cords in the family room. A cable caddy usually sticks onto a desktop (or behind the TV console) and has a space for several cables to clamp into. Your cords will still dangle freely, however, so a cable zipper, which encloses all the cables in a tube, might be the best bet.

All things for your home and more...HARMONHOMESnMORE

4. Create a Play Zone If toys are taking over your family room, it’s time to put them in timeout. Unused corners of a family room transform into great play areas because the walls serve to block encroaching clutter.

Corners are also good areas to put a small bookcase or children’s table. Add rolling bins for toy storage so your child doesn’t have to feel confined, but is encouraged to pick up after he or she is done playing.

5. Coffee Table Functionality If you have a coffee table (or forgot you had one due to the clutter) it’s time to reassess its organizational capacity. Coffee tables that look great but don’t have any storage for magazines, remote controls or even drink coasters, are probably making life more difficult. If you don’t have the budget for a new one, consider adding low storage cubes, rolling baskets or bins to stick under the table.

8. Take Advantage of Space Behind the Sofa Organize extra blankets, pillows, candles in an accessible place - behind the sofa. It’s a great place to put a trunk, cabinet or low bookcase. Plus, it gives you another surface to put a lamp or show off some treasured objects.
