As the days begin to warm up, it is a great time to get stuck into some spring cleaning and redecorating to help you move on from the cold winter months, and feel fresh.
A decent spring cleaning and reorganization will help you feel lighter, and improve the overall health of your home.
We have gathered our top 6 tips for cleaning and redecorating your home for a fresh, revived feel as the weather warms up.
1. Create a Schedule
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the thought of everything that needs to be cleaned. Make a plan to work your way through one room at a time. Start with the easiest one first, so that you can feel a sense of accomplishment when you finish it, and that will help motivate you to keep going. Also have a look around the home and add any areas that don’t get cleaned as often to the plan.
2. Declutter
A good declutter of the items in your home can lead to a great sense of relief. Your environment can directly affect your motivation and productivity, especially if you work or study from home. Go through the drawers and closets of each room, and create piles of items that you can recycle, donate, or throw away. You will be surprised at how fresh you feel when you remove unnecessary items and clutter!

4. Add Greenery
Now that you have cleaned and reorganized your belongings, you are ready to add a few new touches to your home to help elevate the fresh and revived feeling of your home. Greenery, such as indoor plants or vines, or even flowers, can bolster the atmosphere with a lively and vivid spirit. Plants, even just faux plants, are a great way to add texture and dimension to your home.
5. Change the Lighting
Lighting can make or break the ambience of your home. Overhead lights can be harsh and drab. Consider adding unique lighting pieces such as a peculiar shaped lamp for a bold expression, or hanging fairy lights for a dainty, airy vibe. Lighting can influence the general mood of the room and home, and when you make a change to it in your home, you will be surprised at how fresh and new the place feels!
6. Pops of Colour
Spring is a perfect time to play with bright hues. Can you add cushions with pastel shades? Or wall art that pops in your living room? Or even consider a bold colour for your living room furniture if you are feeling brash. It’s your home. Let it match your unique personality and aesthetic!
