Whether you are doing a renovation or a refresh, it is not possible to design before you declutter! Take your time and do it room-by-room. It will leave you organised, energised and motivated. Clean like you mean it!
Over the years, I have moved many times and have come to appreciate the benefits of a good culling! The process can be a bit tedious, but the results leave you feeling lighter and energized. It is such a joy to be able to locate what you want easily, and it gives to a chance to repurpose furniture or relocate it within the house for a fresh new look.
Now is the time to cull that wardrobe, bookcase or kitchen presses. Who knows what spices from 2020 are lurking at the back of the press? It will also give you a chance to re-evaluate your consumption and maybe consider switching to eco-friendly cleaning products or routines. Open your windows, flip the mattresses, add indoor plants to purify air and deep clean rugs, curtains, and upholstery.
Here are the biggest advantages of giving your space that seasonal scrub-down:
- Improves Air Quality
- Removes dust, pollen, mould, and pet dander that build up over winter.
- Deep cleaning rugs, curtains, and upholstery = less stuff floating in the air.
- Mental Clarity & Stress Relief
- A cluttered home can feel mentally overwhelming.
- Cleaning boosts mood, focus, and gives you that satisfying “ahhh finally” feeling.
- Reduces Clutter & Increases Space
- Decluttering makes room for what actually matters or brings joy.
- You’ll be more organised probably find things you forgot you had
- Encourages Sustainable Habits
- You get a chance to donate, recycle, or repurpose old items.
- Re-evaluate your consumption: “Do I really need 6 chargers and 12 mugs?”
- Boosts Home Maintenance & Safety
- You’ll spot small issues early (leaks, loose wires) before they become big problems.
- Cleaning appliances and checking filters can make them run more efficiently.
- Fresh Start Energy
- Spring is a symbol of renewal — your space reflects that when it’s clean and refreshed.
- It’s energising and motivating, especially after the hibernation vibes of winter.
