How to declutter your dresser and organization tips

It's easy to forget about your dresser in the rush of daily life, but they can collect an unimaginable amount of dust and bacteria that you want to get rid of. The last thing you want is the dirt on things you use frequently as it can not only damage them, it can even be harmful to your skin. So next time you get some time off, use these tips to de-clutter as well as go through old things you don’t use any longer.

Old belongings

You probably have some old perfume bottles or broken pieces of jewellery that are only taking up space and collecting dust. It’s best to throw these out to prevent taking up space for other important things. If you have older precious jewellery that are family heirlooms or presents that just do not suit your taste, but you don’t feel like throwing them out, consider getting a loan against your jewellery items. Contact your local jewelers or pawnbrokers to get an estimate of what you should expect on a loan against gold or diamonds. Lastly, consider giving away any pieces that are in good condition to charity or family members.

Clean drawers and wipe down surfaces

You might want to do a deep cleaning session if it has been long since you wiped your drawers. Take out all your belongings and replace any drawer liners. Take wet wipes and wipe down the sides or use a mini vacuum cleaner to get rid of dust. Clean plastic organizers such as brush holders and jewellery boxes.

Use organizers

Keeping everything at close access and categorized will definitely help you clean afterward as well as prevent a mess. Purchase good, sturdy organizers that will help you store your items and help you find them easily when you need them. Display cases are great for jewelllery since you can easily find what you need without rummaging through your drawers. Use covered acrylic stands for brushes to provide dust protection.

Apart from keeping your allergies and skin from flaring up, a clean dresser will make adorning you all the more fun.

Small renovations you can add to your patio to make it look brand new

Summer is here and this definitely calls for some great get-togethers and outdoor parties. Now is the perfect time to renovate or revamp your patio to make it a cozy place for some new memories! The thought of starting from scratch or building on an old setting may be intimidating but we’re here to help, here are some ideas you can use to bring some change!

Deck

Try adding an elevated portion to your backyard for a sitting area or to separate it from any grass or plants you don’t want to accidentally destroy. You can easily do this yourself by purchasing wooden planks and some tools. You can even get your hands on some pallets in Chichester, and use those for a rustic-looking deck or platform.

Seasonal plants

Since summer is here, nothing will complement your patio like a few new additions of seasonal plants with their vivid greens and bright flowers. Selections such as a Caladium plant to add a pop of colour or Poppy to add some flowers to your view are amazing touches.

Fairy lights

This is a popular decoration that makes any location look brighter and creates a jolly ambiance. They are cheap and easy to set up, just wrap them around any fences or on a pergola and you are good to go. Outdoor dinners or parties are sure to come together with these.

Rugs and throw pillows

Make any sitting area much cozier with a rug that is easy to clean and some throw pillows. If you have a set of sofas on your patio, adding matching throw blankets will certainly make for a great nook for late-night summer conversations!

Pergola

Set up a pergola to make the area look more cohesive while beating the summer heat. This doubles as a good relaxing corner on rainy summer days so you can enjoy the weather without getting drenched. You can take things a step further and hang lanterns or hanging planters.

You can get as creative as you want with these plans and add your own touches through colour palettes and preferences.
