The days are finally growing longer which means it’s time for spring! And what better time to refresh your home and bring in a sense of fresh, clean renewal? At Wallbeds and More, we believe spring cleaning is not just about dusting and decluttering, but also a chance to rethink your space and make your home both more functional and inviting.
Our space-saving furniture solutions like the Manchester Wallbed with cabinets and shelves or the Vertical Bed Desk Combo can be an essential part of your spring refresh and can help to maximize your usable space and prepare your guest room for visitors.
Take a look at some of our experts’ favorite spring cleaning tips from Wallbeds and More, so that you can make the most of your home during this beautiful season.
Declutter with Purpose
Start your spring cleaning by sorting through closets, drawers, and storage bins to identify items you no longer use or need. Ask yourself, “Have I used this in the past year?” If the answer is no, it may be time to donate, sell, or recycle the item. Reducing clutter helps open up your space and makes it easier to keep tidy.
A simple way to remember if you’ve worn items in your closet in the past year, is to turn all of the hangers pointing in one direction on the rack. When you wear an item, turn the hanger the opposite way. At the end of the year, any items with hangers still pointed in the original direction haven’t been worn and may be ready to be donated to others in need.
Many of our Murphy bed and desk models are ideal for keeping things organized and can have add-on piers included that offer built-in cabinets, shelves, and drawers allowing you to store your essentials without taking up extra room.
Freshen Up Multi-Use Rooms
If your guest bedroom also functions as your home office or craft room, spring is a great time to give it a refresh as well. You can dust baseboards, clean windows, and wipe down all surfaces, including shelves and technology equipment.
You might also consider upgrading to a queen wall bed with desk from Wallbeds and More, so you can more easily transition between work and relaxation and also have a comfortable space for unexpected visitors. These office bed setups provide a dedicated workspace during the day and a comfortable sleeping space at night without the need for two separate rooms.
Rotate and Clean Bedding
Don’t forget that your bedding may also be due for a deep cleaning after the colder months. During spring cleaning, it’s a good idea to wash all linens, vacuum your mattress, and consider flipping or rotating it for more even wear. This is especially important for guest beds, which may go unused for longer periods of time.
If you have a twin Murphy bed or a bed desk combo, be sure to inspect the mattress and mechanisms, and wipe down the frame to keep it both clean and functional.
Optimize Vertical Space
Spring cleaning isn’t just about clearing out clutter, but about making your space work smarter as well, and looking for areas where vertical storage can be added can be helpful. Floating shelves, freestanding lamps that free up table space, or a bookshelf Murphy bed with plenty of storage shelves can dramatically increase your usable space.
Another unique benefit of Wallbeds and More is that many of our models include cabinetry options, so that you can mix and match features to suit your space, whether you live in a studio apartment or a larger home.
Let the Light In
Cleaning windows, washing curtains, and dusting blinds does wonders to let natural light flood into your space. A bright room naturally feels larger, cleaner, and more cheerful. Pair that with relaxing-colored bedding or repainting walls in neutral tones to create a fresh, springtime atmosphere and may even offer benefits for better sleep! With more space and natural light, your wall bed with desk setup can become a serene and productive oasis during the day, and a peaceful place to unwind at nighttime.
