Spring Home Refresh
I don’t know about you but January has felt long, cold and never-ending.. I’m more than ready for spring! With sunnier days ahead, now’s the perfect time to start thinking about freshening up your home. After months of cozy decor and winter layers, it’s time to lighten things up and help your home feel ready for warmer days. Here are a few simple, budget-friendly ways to get your home spring ready.
Start with a simple spring clean. Clearing off shelves, organizing closets and packing away winter decor can instantly make your home feel brighter and more open. Adding decorative storage like woven baskets, wooden trays or open shelving keeps things organized while still looking stylish.
Once your space feels clean, bring a little of the outdoors inside. Hanging planters or a couple of larger potted plants can really brighten things up. Fresh flowers are another easy way to add some colour and life to any room. And if you’re looking for something practical, a small herb garden in the kitchen is a great option (plus you’ll love having fresh herbs on hand while cooking!)
To really set the mood for spring, swap out heavy winter scents for something fresher. Think lavender, eucalyptus or citrus. Whether you use fresh flowers, candles or a diffuser, lighter scents help your home feel ready for spring.
Spring is all about lighter colours and softer textures. Try swapping darker tones for pastels, neutrals, or cheerful pops of colour like sage green, blush pink, and sky blue. There’s no need to replace big furniture, small updates like throw pillows, blankets, rugs, and artwork can make a big difference. You can also trade chunky winter knits for lighter fabrics like cotton or linen. Natural materials such as rattan and wicker add warmth and texture without feeling heavy.
Another easy tip is to take advantage of the sunnier and longer days by letting in as much natural light as possible. Swap heavy drapes for sheer curtains, give your windows a good cleaning and place mirrors across from windows to help bounce light around and make your space feel brighter and more open.
Lastly, if you’re looking to make a larger impact update this spring, without fully renovating or buying new furniture, paint will be your best friend. A fresh colour can completely shift how a space feels, making it lighter, warmer and more cohesive. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by options, check out our curated paint guides to simplify the process. We’ve done the hard work of filtering through thousands of colours, testing them in real space and taking light orientation into account. The result is a selection of colours that truly work, so you can feel confident making a bigger change without the guesswork.
By utilizing some of these tips, your home can feel fresh, light and ready to welcome spring.
