6 Best Shows to Motivate Your Spring Cleaning and Organizing - Netflix Tudum
Winter, as bleak as it sometimes seems, has its advantages. It’s a time to hibernate, slow down, and catch up on indoor hobbies. It’s also when dust settles, stored clothes grow musty, and even the oven builds up gunk from all those warm winter meals. Which means by the time the Spring solstice rolls around (typically March 20), there’s plenty to clean and finally more daylight hours to do it.
Spring cleaning can look different for everyone. Maybe you’re ready to make every surface sparkle, do a room makeover by rearranging or adding fresh decor, or maybe it’s as simple as finally tackling that one junk drawer you’ve been avoiding. Or if you’d rather get metaphorical, maybe it’s time for a fresh start to mindfulness, routines, and personal wellness to reinvigorate for a new season and brighter days ahead.
Big or small, every reset needs a spark of motivation — and these six Netflix shows are the perfect inspiration to get you started.
Get Organized with The Home Edit
In Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin’s world, more is always more. Watch The Home Edit duo tackle organizational challenges in the abodes of their celebrity clients. Their signature rainbow approach to home organization may not be practical for anyone whose pantry isn’t the size of a Costco aisle, but the results certainly are aesthetically pleasing.
Queer Eye
Each member of the Fab Five does their part to improve the lives of the people featured on Queer Eye. But let’s be real, the show’s design experts are the MVPs. In Seasons 1–8, Bobby Berk makes major renovations look easy, and in Season 9, Jeremiah Brent takes over the power tools to channel each hero’s emotional life and personal journey into every space. Pay close attention to the show’s useful Hip Tips, then pick up a paintbrush or hammer and get to work. If the Queer Eye team can build a fully functional barn in three days, you can definitely handle hanging up a few pieces of art.
Tidying Up with Marie Kondo
Marie Kondo loves mess — and not just the literal kind that’s piled high in your closet. In Tidying Up, the minimalist guru helps real families organize their homes, which in turn helps them get their lives back on track. Armed with her trademark KonMari method and a genuine appreciation for each item in any given house, Kondo makes decluttering feel less daunting — and yes, even joyful.
Tiny House Nation
When you think of aspirational living, sprawling mansions may initially spring to mind. Tiny House Nation challenges that idea and offers another way of living. With assistance from renovation experts John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin, families around the country join the tiny house movement by building highly efficient and ultra-adorable homes, all of which are under 500 square feet — but turn out to be just the right size.
Dream Home Makeover
Do you covet those shabby-chic interiors that are all over Instagram? Then settle into a series that follows two designers who helped make that very aesthetic popular. In Dream Home Makeover, husband and wife Syd and Shea McGee of Studio McGee infuse their cozy style into various home renovation projects. And even if you’re personally not that into exposed wood beams or the color beige, you can still enjoy watching the McGees balance being designers, business owners, partners, and parents.
The Minimalists: Less Is Now
Got too much stuff? You’re certainly not alone. In a world of immediate access to nearly anything we want, sometimes we fail to recognize which things we actually need and which we can let go free. The antidote is minimalism, which longtime friends Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus built a movement around. Watch The Minimalists: Less is Now to explore how our lives can be better with less — and then start purging some of that unnecessary baggage.
