Spring cleaning, we can’t help it – it’s rooted in human nature!

Here’s a fun fact about the Spring clean – while it feels like a chore, it’s something we’re irresistibly drawn to by our biology. According to HowStuffWorks, the increase in daylight hours triggers our brains to reduce the sleep-inducing melatonin hormone that spikes during the winter months. We can blame melatonin for keeping us stuck on the sofa watching box sets when it’s cold and dark as we literally lack the energy for anything much - including cleaning. Thankfully Spring sunshine and warmth revitalises us out of our sluggishness and suddenly it seems we’ve that desire for sparkling windows and clutter free spaces!

To make this instinctive Spring clean even easier, Artisanne’s handwoven baskets lend themselves perfectly to restoring some order and making our homes a haven. Our ethical and sustainably woven designs provide great looking, versatile storage solutions that last and adapt, meaning you don’t need to compromise on style to keep things tidy.
