There is something so refreshing about Spring cleaning each year. Start Spring by decluttering and creating a calm, clean serenity within your home. Take advantage of your space by using a minimalist approach, to create an environment that is focused around what you love and need. Here are some key ideas for keeping your home looking great, and more importantly, livable.

1) Declutter
Begin by getting rid of things you don’t use, and organize your shelves by grouping similar items together for a bold (and efficient) statement. Photo from Architectural Digest
2) Monochromatic
Start with a single hue and design a palette using varying shades. Contrast is key here! Keep your design from falling flat by introducing a sharp contrast with textiles or accent niches. Photo from My Domaine
3) Layering
Walls act as a blank canvas which you can break up with graphic and vibrant prints. Introduce different textures such as richly grained woods and mixed metals as accents, to tone down bold prints and balance your space. Photo from Architectural Digest
