Sprucing Up Your Home for Spring

Though the weather outside may still be chilly, spring is right around the corner, and with it, the urge to revitalize your living space. There are so many ways to bring new life into your home this spring without breaking the bank, and in this blog post, we’ll cover some cost-effective tips to make your space feel brand new.

Swap Out Seasonal Decorations

There’s no shame in still having your Christmas lights up, but as it gets warmer, now is a great time to pack them away until next year. The same goes for any winter decorations you might have inside your home. Trade these winter-themed accents for spring-themed decorations, indoors and out.

Introduce Greenery

Adding plants or fresh flowers can instantly enliven your living space. Low-maintenance plants like pothos, philodendrons, snake plants, or spider plants don’t require much light and can be watered infrequently. Plus, they’re great for improving the air quality in your home. A bouquet of seasonal flowers on a table can add a fun pop of color as well.

Try New Textiles

Changing out pillowcases, throw blankets, or curtains is a fast way to give a room a facelift. Swap heavier textiles for light and airy fabrics, and watch your room transform. This is also a great way to experiment with color that doesn’t involve committing to new paint or furniture.

Let in Natural Light

As the days slowly start getting longer, maximize the light in your home by opening curtains and blinds. Natural light can make a space feel more open and inviting, and after the long, dark winter nights, that might be exactly what your home needs.

Add Spring Scents

Infuse your home with the scents of spring; try light floral or earthy scents such as lavender, citrus, or freshly cut grass. You can use candles, incense, or essential oils to achieve a pleasant-smelling space. Or consider opening a window and letting the fresh air inside!
