Is your home still carrying winter bulk? Spring has sprung and it\u2019s time to de-clutter and streamline your space with these 5 tips!<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goodbye, winter! Spring is here and with it comes the arrival of brighter colors, lighter fabrics and whimsical accent pieces.<\/p>\n

But you can\u2019t welcome new spring d\u00e9cor until you shed the winter bulk!<\/p>\n

Not sure where to start? Let us walk you through 5 easy ways you can de-clutter and streamline your space for spring:<\/p>\n

De-clutter Tip #1: Love It Or Lose It<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one of our favorite spring cleaning tips, and it\u2019s simple: Love it or lose it.<\/p>\n

Take a look around your space and ask yourself \u201cdo I love this? Does it work in my space?\u201d If you have to hmm and haw over it, it has to go.<\/p>\n

We recommend using 3 boxes for this task: Keep, sell and toss.<\/p>\n

The \u2018keep\u2019 box is for special momentums you love, but don\u2019t necessarily belong on display. These are the items you can store in your basement or garage.<\/p>\n

The \u2018sell\u2019 box is great for pieces you used<\/em> to love, but don\u2019t anymore. These items can earn you money at an upcoming yard sale. Extra bucks for new spring accents? Yes please!<\/p>\n

The \u2018toss\u2019 box is self-explanatory; some things just have to go! If the items are in good condition, you could donate them to a local thrift store or not-for-profit organization.<\/p>\n

De-clutter Tip #2: Streamline Your Collections<\/strong><\/p>\n

We love collections, however they can spiral out of control if they\u2019re not edited on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n

For example, plant lovers: Do you really need to feel like you\u2019re living in a jungle? Of course not. Choose your favorites and let the rest go.<\/p>\n

Maybe you love teapots but they\u2019re cramped atop your kitchen cupboards. Move them into a china cabinet behind glass instead.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, if you do<\/em> plan to display a large collection, make a point to keep it dust-free and clean. This helps your space feel fresh and streamlined.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>De-clutter Tip #3: Say Goodbye To Multiples<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Collections aside, do you really need 4 kitchen rugs and 18 accent pillows on one sofa?<\/p>\n

Multiple items that perform the same function make clutter in your space. Now is the time to let them go\u2014or a least store them away.<\/p>\n

The same can be said for electronic chargers and remotes; they make your home d\u00e9cor look messy.<\/p>\n

The Solution? Two-in-one storage options like the Hampton Single Storage Bench in Grey<\/a>. Knick-knacks, bygone!<\/p>\n

De-clutter Tip #4: Sassy Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n

While we\u2019re on the topic of storage, don\u2019t be afraid to invest in new accent pieces that make de-cluttering easy.<\/p>\n

Shelving units are one thing, but they also create the temptation to build more<\/em> clutter; that\u2019s why, when choosing new storage for spring, we\u2019re taking the sassier route.<\/p>\n

The NEW Esquire Accent Table<\/a> has 3 drawers for simple storage and a set of wheels, making it easy to move where you see fit!<\/p>\n

It also sports an industrial-chic vibe, which many home d\u00e9cor enthusiasts are embracing this spring.<\/p>\n

De-clutter Tip #5: Lighten Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are chunky knitted throws and faux-fur accents still lurking in your home? Removing bulky accents and replacing them with lighter colors and fabrics instantly rejuvenates your space for spring.<\/p>\n

We also love the use of mirror and glass features to open up any space to make it feel bigger.<\/p>\n

If all else fails, open up those blinds! Natural sunlight brings a sense of lightness and openness to any room, taking you out of the depths of winter and right into spring!<\/p>\n
