7 tips for


refreshing your home in the springtime


By Liz Connor


Spring is naturally a great time to hit the reset button – and with all the hours we’re spending working and living from our homes, why not use this opportunity to switch things up a bit?


Bringing the optimism of a new season indoors isn’t all about cleaning, tidying and decluttering,


though. Here are some smart ways to brighten up your space this season…


1 RESTYLE YOUR SHELVES


You don’t have to invest in expensive new artwork to refresh your walls – simply reordering the items on your shelving can give your space a fresh feel. You can heighten the aesthetic appeal of a bookshelf by mixing materials like glass and ceramics – if you want to invest in some inspiring objects, we like Hay’s W&S Sculptural Bookend (£65, monologuelondon. com). Or, If you’re on a tight budget, simply changing the snaps in your photo frames can transform the feel of your space. Shelves can be a trouble spot for dust and grime, so before you start rearranging, it’s best to pull everything off and give all the items a thorough clean before placing them back.
