Hand’s up if you’ve been asking yourself how to declutter your home this spring! There’s something about spring that stirs up the urge for a refresh. The light changes and we can open the windows a little wider to let fresh air circulate. But we also begin to notice the things that have quietly piled up during winter—cluttered surfaces, overflowing drawers, the hallway that seems to collect everything from school bags to boots. Spring is the time we start to feel the need for a clear out, to make more space, so we can breathe a little easier in our homes.
While the idea of spring decluttering sounds uplifting, the reality often feels overwhelming. I don’t know about you but my life is pretty busy. Even the thought of devoting a whole weekend (or more) to decluttering my home from top to bottom can often be enough to make me quietly close that overstuffed cupboard and walk away, pretending I don’t see it.
This is where a gentler approach is needed. Decluttering doesn’t have to be dramatic or done all at once. It can be slow, steady, and thoughtful—a process that unfolds over time. With a few simple decluttering tips and a mindset shift, we can start to let go of the things that are no longer serving us, and begin to shape a space that feels calmer, lighter and more aligned with how we want to live.
So here are some tips on how to declutter your home without the stress. Whether you’re dipping your toe in with a drawer or two, or ready to embrace a full spring refresh, these spring decluttering tips will help you take that first gentle step.
