It’s that time of year! The sun is out and the temperature is warming up, which means… it’s time for some Spring cleaning! Something about the Spring makes it feel like it’s time to give your home a little refresh. Where should you start? Well, some good options include: decluttering, making some swaps, reorganizing/rearranging, and maybe even a paint refresh. 

 

Declutter: Go through the spaces in your home and “edit”. This could mean getting rid of unnecessary knick-knacks, sorting through items that have piled up, and even finding things that you no longer love that you can remove from the space. This will help your space feel lighter. Consider donating the items you remove to a local charity. 

 

Swap: It’s time to swap out the heavy throws and pillows and bring out something lighter and brighter. This includes your linens as well! Bring in some new decor such as swapping out some artwork that is lighter and brighter and put some spring flowers in your vases. You can also swap out some fixtures such as lamps, drapery, or curtains to bring new life to your space without breaking the bank. 

 

Reorganize/Rearrange: It’s a great time to rearrange bookshelves and displays - you can even rotate items you love into different spaces to mix things up. This could also be the time to invest in some organizational pieces to help keep your spaces tidy and organized. Think shelves, bins, decorative storage ottomans and the like.

 

Paint Refresh: Consider painting a room that needs a color update to refresh the space. Or maybe you love the paint you have but it’s starting to show wear and tear, this would be a great time to do paint touch ups throughout the house. 

 

No matter which methods you want to embrace, Spring cleaning can be a benefit to everyone!
