Refresh Your Home for Spring with These Four Simple Tips
Spring has finally arrived! It's time to bid farewell to the cold, dark winter and welcome this season of sunshine and transformation with open arms. After months of winter hibernation, your home may be feeling a bit stale and dreary. Fortunately, there are some easy ways to bring freshness, brightness and airiness into your space during this season of renewal.
Here are four simple tips that will help you get your home Spring-ready…
Add Some Life to Your Space with Fresh Flowers or Plants
One of the simplest ways to bring life into your home is by adding fresh flowers or plants. Not only do they brighten up any room, but studies have shown that indoor plants can significantly reduce stress levels, increase productivity and creativity, and even purify the air and improve air quality. Buy a bouquet of flowers from a florist, local grocery store, or farmer’s market, or cut some from your garden. Choose an option that best works with your taste, budget, and the amount of natural light in your home. For low-light spaces, consider adding snake plants or ZZ plants. For brighter rooms, try an orchid or a vibrant bouquet of tulips.
Swap Out Heavy Winter Bedding for Lighter Options
As the weather gets warmer, it's time to swap the heavy winter bedding for lighter options. To keep you feeling comfortable and cool during warmer weather, opt for airier, breathable fabrics. Fabrics like cotton and linen, for example, wick away moisture and allow air to circulate. A lightweight quilt or coverlet can provide additional warmth on those chillier nights without feeling too heavy. If you prefer using a duvet, switch to a lighter insert. You may also choose to add a throw blanket to the end of the bed to provide that extra layer of warmth when needed. Swapping out your bedding also provides you with an opportunity to incorporate playful, season-appropriate colours (such as pastels) or patterns (such as florals).
Accessorize with Brighter Colours
Spring is all about brighter colours, so why not add some to your home decor? Swap out darker pillow covers and throws for ones in brighter hues. Switch heavy curtains with sheer ones to allow natural light to flood your home. Consider adding pops of colour through artwork or decorative pieces. Another fun way to add colour? Through table linens, dishware, and other small decor. We personally love all of the decor you can find in pastel shades of yellow, pink, blue, and green during this time of year.
Open Up Those Curtains and Windows
Finally, it's time to let some fresh air and light into your home. Open up your curtains and windows to air things out and let the sunshine in. Fresh air can help eliminate stale or musty odors. Opening windows and doors can also help regulate the temperature of your home, creating a more comfortable living environment. So, make it a habit to open up your windows and curtains regularly to let in the natural light and fresh air. Not only will this freshen up your home, but it will also improve your mood and energy levels.
Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home, and you don't need to break the bank to do it. Make your home feel like a breath of fresh air by incorporating fresh flowers, lighter bedding, and pops of colour, and opening up the windows. These easy and affordable updates can help you transform your home and embrace the beauty of Spring and the new energy it brings.
