Now that the long, dark days of winter are just about behind us, we can all start to look forward to spring with the return of warmth, life and colour!

And spring is the traditional time where we turn our attention to our homes and see how we can give everything a good spring clean.

At a loss of where to begin? Check out this quick list of spring clean tips and you’ll get your home spruced up in no time! Or use the help of Cleaners of London to make the cleaning process hassle free

Out with the old

We are all hoarders by nature. But spring is the time that we can shed a lot of unwanted possessions by either donating them to a charity shop or simply sending them to the recycling centre.

It’s amazing how much space you’ll uncover through this method, and you’ll be well on your way to achieving that much-sought after minimalist Scandinavian chic as favoured by interiors blogs like Weekday Carnival in no time.

The kitchen can be a particularly annoying place when it comes to gathering unwanted items. Most of our cupboards will hold certain foodstuffs that are either past their use-by dates, or are simply undesirable!

So be ruthless and throw out all of those mysterious unlabelled jars of chutney, give your shelves a good wipe down, and you’ll instantly feel more organised.

 

In with the new

If your clearing out has left you with a surplus of artefacts that you don’t know what to do with, then maybe think of purchasing some handy, stackable storage blocks that can easily be used to gather and display books and ornaments.

Or if you’re really feeling like giving yourself a treat, how about a luxury divan bed with a handy storage base for all those blankets. You can even get next day delivery if you’re up to your neck in it!

Clean whites

With the coming of the new season’s light, a quick paint job can work wonders. So scrub down your walls and apply layers of beautiful clean white paint that will lend a sense of chic sophistication to your interior.

This look works especially well with soft wooden tones and the occasional burst of greenery courtesy of a household plant that will proudly herald the coming of spring time.

But of course, if the clean whites are a little too sterile for you, then simply add a splash of colour through a richly painted accent wall that will add depth and elegance. Bold greens and blues such as teal and cobalt are reportedly big this year for those of you who like to be on trend!
