Spring has sprung...sort of

So spring is here... depending on where you live. In Vancouver, where I am based, it keeps teasing us that it's here but then spoiling the fun with down pours of rain.  But I do see the bulbs poking out of the soil so I am hopeful its around the corner.  Have you ever noticed how rooms in design magazines look so put together? Part of that is because the room is clean and tidy.  There is no clutter! Therefore, time for a SPRING CLEAN!

My advice today is to de-clutter your space in time for spring. In order to let your room, furniture, art or design speak for itself the clutter needs to go.  Throw away old newspapers, magazines etc.  Put away all items that should not be in the room.

           
                            Clutter                                                               De-Clutter                                                 Organised               

Now, I understand that some items are needed in a room such as remote controls, books etc. - to move them out of the room would be impractical. So a suggestion I have is to invest in some baskets.  Baskets can be tucked into coffee tables, shelving units etc and can store a mesh-mash of items.  This makes the room look put together but organised.  Do not hide your beautiful space behind a bunch of clutter.
