Not everything has to fit under the bathroom sink! 😉 Are you using the wall space to improve your organization?

Consider building shelves to hold baskets or installing hooks on the wall. Using vertical space for storage can help declutter areas with a lot of items. Baskets are particularly great for easy and visible access to toiletries that guests may need!

How's your spring cleaning going so far? 😇

Spring cleaning tip: Rotate your mattress at least once or twice a year to prevent creating wear-and-tear on just one side! Rotating helps prevent long-term sagging and spring damage to your mattress. Depending on your type of mattress, you may even want to rotate your mattress more often.

See all of our spring cleaning tips in our link in bio for your bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom!
