If you are feeling a little stressed, getting your home in order is a great way to feel relieved and invigorated. These 8 home organization tasks will not only refresh your home, but they are things that can really lift your mood. Some of these tasks are not difficult, but are things that we commonly neglect. So let’s get into the specific ways to improve your home organization and give your home a little boost!

Makeup Brushes

Okay, be honest. When is the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? Has it been a minute? Yeah, me too! For something that we use on our face every day, we really should be cleaning our makeup brushes more often.

Cleaning your makeup brushes at least once a month is a good goal to help get your beauty products organized. If your makeup brushes have seen better days, consider purchasing new ones, and then setting a reminder on your phone to clean them.

Prices vary greatly and you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars for a nice makeup brush set. I do recommend the popular BK Beauty Kitten Paw Concealer Brush designed by YouTuber Angie Hot & Flashy. It is the perfect shape and size for blending concealer for mature skin.

To clean your brushes, try a makeup brush cleaning mat. They sit in your sink and make cleaning pretty simple. You can also buy makeup brush cleaner or sometimes I use baby shampoo.

When drying your brushes, you may want to get a drying rack like this one. You can position your brushes so that the water does not run down into the handle.

Clean Your Jewelry

Another home organization task to remember is to clean your jewelry. Maybe your wedding ring is looking a little dull. Now is a good time to take care of your jewelry and make it sparkle like new.

An ultrasonic jewelry cleaner is inexpensive and you can clean multiple pieces at the same time. You can clean other items in addition to jewelry using either water or water with a drop or two of Dawn dish soap.

Update Your Bedding

There are several things to consider with bedding. If you haven’t replaced your mattress in 20 years, it might be time. If that’s not in the budget, consider a memory foam mattress pad or topper.

Consider replacing your mattress pad and your pillows if they are worn out or stained. If you suffer from night sweats, you may want to try a cooling pillow.

If you really want a fun way to spruce up your bedroom, new bedding can be an instant transformation! My favorite places to shop for bedding are Home Goods, Target, Amazon, and Walmart.

I bought this one for the our master bedroom. I love the white, but it also comes in other colors.

Organize Your Closet

I have written full blog posts on cleaning out your closet. This is one of the best ways to reduce your stress and make getting dressed much more pleasant. After you purge all the unwanted items, I recommend switching over to velvet no-slip hangers that all match. I will link my favorite clothes hangers down below.

Check Makeup & Skincare

Home organization also includes going through your makeup and skincare and throw away expired or unwanted products. If you haven’t used a product in the last 6 months, chances are you aren’t going to miss it.

Nail Polish

How many bottles of nail polish do you have stashed away? If you are like me…way too many! I purged all the old and outdated nail polish and condensed everything into one container. Now I know what I have, and I have gradually began to purchase some new shades.

Consider a new nail polish organizer like this one from Amazon.

If you prefer to display your nail polish, a container like this one is perfect to see everything you have. Getting your nail supplies in order will help greatly with your overall home organization goals.

Update Decorative Pillows With Pillow Covers

One of the best home organization tips I have learned is to resist buying more decorative pillows and buy pillow covers instead. This way you can change them frequently and they are easy to store. Not only is this much more economical, but it is an organization game changer!

Amazon is my go-to for pillow covers and I will link some favorites for you to browse. All of these styles come in multiple color options, so click on the link to see what you like the best.

Organize Your Desk

This was my home office in our last house. I like my workspace to be very neat and uncluttered. I am also obsessed with pretty planners, notebooks, and notepads. Some of my favorites are by the brand Sugar Paper at Target. I also find lots of cute notebooks at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls.

Here are some of my favorite Amazon home office finds. This desk is my newest purchase, and I love using it!
