This year’s long, cold winter has been followed-up by the warm air, blossoming trees and the smell of fresh-cut grass; spring has officially arrived! The changing of the seasons is also a signal that it’s time to freshen up your home. This spring, welcome the sunshine and warmth into your home with these great spring interior modifications for your home.
Start with a clean slate
In the spring it’s important to start anew with spring cleaning! Tidying up, dusting away the remnants of winter and clearing out unwanted items is the first step to making your home spring-ready. Start with the usual clutter culprits like your closets, cabinets and other storage spaces within your home. Purge any old or unwanted items to open up the space and make room for new spring additions. Vacuum, dust and scrub floors, countertops and appliances. Lastly, clean your windows! You’ll be surprised how much clear, clean windows open up your home, let the sun in and freshen up your home.
Removing any unwanted items, dusting, vacuuming, and giving your home a good cleaning immediately makes the entire space feel refreshed, open and welcoming. With a fresh, clean home, it’ll really start to feel like spring!
Paint
What goes perfectly with a fresh season? A fresh coat of paint, of course! If you’re looking to change the feel and bring new life into your home, a simple, fun way of doing it is by brightening your home up with paint!
Whether you paint an entire room, or even just a wall, changing up your home’s colour palette keeps things as bright inside as they are outside. The addition of light, bright or vibrant colours to your home will spread the warm feeling of spring throughout your home.
Freshen up your decor
It’s time to put the dark, heavy winter blankets away and lighten up your home decor! Spring is a great season to switch the linens in your home to lighter, softer materials. This is also a great season to switch out thick, chunky pillows for smaller, cotton throw pillows on your furniture. Integrating decor pieces like vases, baskets and other spring themed accents also goes a long way to changing how the rooms look and feel throughout the season. Decor pieces that feature light blues, greys, pinks and white are a great way to brighten your living space and provide a new sense of spring energy in your home. As you make some changes around your home to reflect the season, don’t be afraid to give your home a breath of fresh, light spring air through a seasonal decor change!
Go green
To put the finishing touches of spring on your interior, bring the outdoors in by going green this spring! Grab some fresh flowers and keep them in vases in the main areas of your house. Flowers bring spring inside and make your home smell like a great!. Want more than just flowers in your home? You would even grow a delicious vegetable garden on your window sills. This will add a tasty spring treat and help purify the air in your home. Bringing the outside in is sure to make it look, feel and smell like spring in your home!
Spring is a season that signals new life, growth and change! . Grass turns green, plants are in bloom and there is a renewed excitement for the warm weather and long summer days of sunshine ahead. Through all the excitement of the season, you may just be so excited to get outside that you forget about how important it is to start the season right inside your home as well.
