How To Spruce Up Your Bedroom For Spring

It’s finally that time of year where the days grow longer and the warmth of spring is in the air and the new season calls for a new living space. There’s no better place to start than the sanctuary of the home – the bedroom. Spring cleaning is all about renewing your space, creating a haven of rest and relaxation, worthy of welcoming in the warmer months ahead. So, pull together your cleaning supplies and follow along with our bedroom transformation ideas.

Declutter

The first step to a tidy space is ridding yourself of any clutter. Begin with your bedside tables, dressers and drawers, then move on to storage areas like wardrobes and closets. Take stock of your items and remove anything that no longer serves a purpose or brings you joy. Remember to donate any gentle used clothing and belongings to charity, or recycle items that can’t find a new home.

Organise

Once you’ve decluttered, it’s time to organise. To make your tidying last, invest in some storage solutions such as baskets, bins and drawer dividers. Group together similar items and assign them a place which will aid in streamlining your daily routine.

Deep Clean

Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and tackle the deep cleaning. Strip your bed and wash all of the bedding. Be sure to remove any dust and debris that has accumulated near your mattress – a hoover for getting into all of the nooks and hard to reach spaces. Dust and wipe down every surface, including furniture, baseboards, window sills, blinds and light fixtures. Consider using natural cleaning products to minimise exposure to harsh chemicals and create a healthier indoor environment.

Freshen Up

Open your windows to allow fresh air to circulate your space, driving away any residual winter staleness. Infuse your bedroom with the scents and sights of spring in the form of flowers, greenery or potted plants. Green touches will brighten up your space and lend an atmosphere of serenity, perfect for recharging. Scented candles, essential oil diffusers and linen sprays are another great way to promote peace and tranquillity in your bedroom.

Revitalise Your Sleep Space

Lastly, use your spring cleaning session as a chance to assess whether your sleep environment is working for you, especially your mattress and pillows. Ensure your bed provides adequate support and comfort for the months ahead. Consider how your sleep accessories affect you also and whether investing in new bedding could improve your quality

of rest. Take note of your bedroom lighting and consider adding dimmer switches or soft, adjustable lighting options to create a cosy atmosphere conducive to winding down before bed. For more information on how to encourage a restful night’s sleep, see our top 10 sleep boosting foods here.
