Spring cleaning isn’t just about tidying up—it’s an opportunity to reset, refresh, and refine your space. But decluttering doesn’t have to mean stripping things back to a bare minimum. Instead, approach it with a designer’s mindset: curate what stays, remove what doesn’t serve your space, and introduce thoughtful storage solutions that enhance your home’s style.
Here’s some KOZY top tips for decluttering your home, that will not only help your home feel lighter and brighter, but will engage your design hat, ensuring your home is effortlessly stylish.
1) Edit Your Space Like a Stylist
Before you start tossing things into bins, take a step back and view your space as if you were decorating it from scratch. Ask yourself: Does this item add to the aesthetic of the room? Is it functional or just taking up space? Would I buy this again today?
If an item doesn’t make the cut, consider repurposing, giving away, or selling it. Treat decluttering like curating a gallery—keep what truly enhances your space and let go of the rest. Some great options to resell furniture are:
Pre-loved
eBay
Vinted
Facebook Marketplace
2) Make Storage Work for Your Aesthetic
Decluttering isn’t about hiding things away but it’s about finding stylish ways to store what you love. Instead of bulky plastic bins, opt for design-friendly storage solutions: Woven baskets for blankets, magazines, or toys. Decorative boxes for smaller essentials like remotes and cables. Open shelving to display books, ceramics, or plants while keeping things organized. By choosing storage that complements your decor, you keep your space looking intentional rather than overcrowded. The Cox and Cox Rauma Display Cabinet is on brand with it's modern arches. Perfect for adding a striking edition to your space.
3) Organize by Zones for Function & Flow
Instead of scattering storage throughout your home, organize by function. Use your entryway for hooks for coats, a stylish shoe rack, or a catch-all tray for keys. Living rooms can help to store a mix of open and closed storage display books or store miscellaneous items on coffee and side tables. While in the bedroom, you can keep nightstands clutter-free with a single lamp, a book, and a small decorative piece.
A well-organized space doesn’t just look good, it feels more calming and intentional.
4) Rotate & Refresh Decor
Decluttering is also an opportunity to refresh what’s on display. Swap out winter decor for lighter, airier pieces, rotate artwork or rearrange your furniture for a fresh perspective, introduce seasonal accents like linen cushions, fresh flowers, or scented candles to match the new season. A subtle refresh keeps your home feeling current without the need for major renovations.
5) The Five-Minute Daily Reset
Once you’re done, maintaining the look and staying on top of your decluttered space is key. Set aside five minutes each evening to tidy up surfaces, put things back in their place, and reset your space. This small habit prevents clutter from creeping back in and keeps your home feeling effortlessly fresh.
Decluttering isn’t about stripping away personality, it’s about refining your space so that everything has purpose, function and style. By combining organization with thoughtful design choices, you can create a home that feels both refreshed and inviting this spring.
