Celebrating World Menopause Day today, Caroline Caron Dhaouadi, founder of Homefulness https://www.homefulness.co.uk/  shines a light on the powerful link between home organisation and well-being during menopause. With practical tips and expert guidance, she highlights how creating a serene, clutter-free environment can help women better navigate this important life transition.

Boost Well-being Through Simple Organisation Tips:

  • Snack Smart: Create labelled snack stations like “Brain Fuel” with walnuts or “Energy Boost” with almonds for easy, mindful snacking.
  • 10-Minute Decluttering: Feeling overwhelmed? Set a 10-minute timer to tackle small areas like a single drawer or a room corner—small wins add up fast.
  • Sleep Soundly with a Weighted Blanket: Ease menopause-induced anxiety by incorporating a weighted blanket into your relaxation routine.
  • Mood Boost Box: Personalise a box with your favourite items—books, affirmation cards, or stress balls—to lift your spirits when symptoms hit.
  • Cool Down at Night: Store pillowcases in the fridge for instant cooling relief during hot flashes.

“As women journey through menopause, an organised and calming space can significantly improve mental clarity, reduce stress, and foster emotional well-being,” says Caroline. “Homefulness is dedicated to helping women create environments that support their unique needs during this time.”

The Transformative Impact of Decluttering on Mental Health

A cluttered home can often exacerbate the mental and emotional load that accompanies menopause. Caroline emphasises the importance of decluttering:

“A cluttered space increases anxiety and can heighten the emotional turbulence that comes with menopause. By organising, women can create spaces that promote calm and mental clarity, allowing them better to manage mood swings, fatigue, and brain fog.”

Carole Morgan, Clinical Lead of Spectrum.Life’s 24/7 Client Care Counselling Team agrees.

“Every woman experiences menopause differently, but one constant is the positive impact of a well-organised home. Reducing clutter can lower cortisol levels, decrease stress, and improve cognitive function, making it easier to stay focused and calm in everyday life.”

Create Calming, Restful Spaces

A soothing, organised environment can improve sleep and promote relaxation—essential for managing menopause symptoms like insomnia and hot flashes. Homefulness advocates for “wellness zones” within the home, where women can meditate, practice yoga, or unwind. These serene spaces help alleviate the physical and mental toll that menopause can take, fostering a holistic approach to well-being.

Caroline’s Top Tips for Managing Menopause Through Organisation:

  • Weighted Blankets for Anxiety Relief: Adding a weighted blanket to your relaxation routine can offer comfort and reduce anxiety.
  • Curate a Mood Boost Box: Fill this box with uplifting items, like a cherished book or calming essential oils, to quickly ease emotional discomfort.
  • Streamline Daily Routines: Clutter-free homes simplify decision-making and ease daily routines. Label snack baskets and create easy-to-reach wellness stations for skincare, supplements, and hydration.

Morgan also highlights the importance of hydration during menopause:

“Staying hydrated can ease symptoms like dry skin, hot flashes, and fatigue. Consider placing water bottles around the house or investing in a large pitcher to ensure easy access to water throughout the day.”

Prioritise Restful Sleep with Organised Bedrooms

One of the biggest challenges women face during menopause is maintaining quality sleep. Caroline recommends incorporating cooling strategies into the bedroom, such as using breathable, natural-fibre bedding, blackout curtains, and eye masks. For a quick cool-down, try storing pillowcases in the fridge and swapping them out before bed to enhance comfort and promote restful sleep.

Celebrate World Menopause Day by Creating Calm and Order

This World Menopause Day, Homefulness invites women to embrace the journey of menopause with positivity, empowerment, and a fresh perspective on home organisation. By simplifying and decluttering their environments, women can create calming spaces that nurture their mental and emotional well-being, paving the way for a smoother transition through this important life stage.
