It’s been proven that having a home free of clutter and mess is great for mental health – it can boost mood and clarity, enhance productivity and decrease stress and anxiety. If that’s not motivation enough, it can also decrease dust levels, in turn improving air quality. With all this in mind, read on for four tips for decluttering your home.

Keep it Simple

Start with simple, neutral colours or choose a specific colour theme for a truly minimalist look. Light, cool natural shades like whites, beiges and browns are classic minimalist colours that will work with any space. For something a little different, look to deep greens or blues and stick with those colours throughout the room. You can keep the theme consistent by painting your room a particular colour and choosing bedroom furniture, accessories and decorations in similar colourways to match. A neutral canvas is the perfect backdrop for some organic additions such as indoor plants or vases of seasonal blooms.

Maximise the Space

Did you know you can make a small bedroom feel bigger using a few simple tricks? Paint the walls, floor and ceiling the same colour to create an illusion of space – be sure to choose lighter colours for this. When shopping for furniture, choose tall and narrow storage furniture such as tallboys or small chests of drawers to conserve space and make use of room under your bed for storing seasonal clothing and items you don’t need immediate access to – you can buy shallow underbed storage specifically made for this.

Decluttering is Key

The key to a minimalist aesthetic is to ensure the space doesn’t contain too much stuff. Decluttering is not only proven to have a positive effect on mental health, but it decreases dust levels in the room, therefore improving overall air quality. Go through your clothes, trinkets, books and more and donate any unwanted items to charity, attend a car boot sale or sell them via a second-hand site online.
