How to Declutter and Brighten Your Home for Summer
Peter Walsh reveals four easy ways to lighten up your spaces—and keep them clutter-free.

This makes everything easily accessible—and lets you annually appraise inventory and throw away or donate things you no longer use or wear. (Dry-clean your coats before storing them, and use cedar blocks to keep away pests.)
