I Believe in the 'Anti-Minimalist' Approach to Spring Cleaning Your House — Because You Really Don't Need to Purge Everything

A bright white living room with brown armchairs, patterned pillows, arched ceiling, framed painting, stone mantel over the fireplace, and a large piano.

I truly believe that the way you spring clean should depend on your lifestyle. While some homes require this annual marker to deeply pare back living spaces, others don't need as much of a ruthless approach to tidying up. Enter the anti-minimalist method.

Rather than creating a long list of things to declutter before spring cleaning, keep it simple by focusing on the areas that could actually do with a touch of culling. For instance, consider getting rid of incompatible decor, clothes that don't serve you, overstuffed drawers, and that growing heap of paper clutter.
