Spring Cleaning? Nah, Let's Talk Spring Decorating!

Hey everyone! Can you feel it? That little shift in the air, the longer days, the birds starting to sing a bit louder? Yep, spring is officially on its way, and I don't know about you, but I'm so ready to ditch the winter blues and bring some fresh energy into my home.


We all know about spring cleaning, but honestly, who wants to spend their precious spring days scrubbing baseboards? Let's focus on something a little more fun and a lot more impactful: a spring refresh. It's all about making small changes that breathe new life into your space and make it feel bright, airy, and ready for warmer days.

1. Let the Sunshine In (Literally!)

After months of heavy curtains and cozy blankets, it's time to open up those windows and let the sunshine flood in! Give your windows a good cleaning – you'll be amazed at how much brighter your space feels. Swap out those thick winter drapes for something lighter and more sheer, like linen or cotton. Think of it as giving your windows a spring wardrobe!

2. Bring on the Blooms (Real or Faux!)

Spring is synonymous with flowers, so it's the perfect time to bring some of that natural beauty indoors. A vase of fresh tulips or daffodils on your kitchen table can instantly lift your mood. If you're not a fan of fresh flowers, don't worry! There are some seriously realistic faux florals available these days. You can also incorporate floral patterns into your decor with throw pillows, blankets, or even artwork.

3. A Splash of Colour (Think Bright and Happy!)

After a long winter of neutrals and dark tones, spring is the perfect excuse to inject some colour into your home. Think pastel shades like blush pink, mint green, or a soft yellow. Don't be afraid to add in brighter pops of colour as well, like coral, turquoise, or a vibrant lime green! These colours are fresh, cheerful, and perfectly capture the essence of spring. You don't have to repaint your entire living room – just add pops of colour through your accessories. A new throw blanket, a set of colourful candles, or even a new wall tapestry can make a big difference.

4. Declutter (But Make it Fun!)

Okay, I know I said we weren't focusing on cleaning, but a little decluttering can go a long way in making your home feel fresh and airy. Don't think of it as a chore – think of it as a chance to curate your space and get rid of anything that's no longer serving you. Start with one small area at a time, like a bookshelf or a drawer. You'll be amazed at how much lighter and more organized your space feels.

5. Embrace Natural Textures

Spring is all about nature, so bring some of that natural beauty indoors. Think woven baskets, wooden accents, or even a bowl of fresh fruit on your kitchen counter. These natural elements add warmth and texture to your space and create a calming atmosphere.

6. Refresh Your Textiles

Swap out heavy winter blankets and throws for lighter, more breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Think about changing your bedding to something lighter and brighter. A crisp white duvet cover with some colourful throw pillows is a classic spring look. You can also update your throw pillows and blankets in your living room with lighter, spring-themed colours and patterns.

7. Don't Forget the Details!

Capture the essence of spring with thoughtful details throughout your home. On your shelves, display items that evoke a sense of freshness and renewal, like small terrariums or hand-painted ceramic pieces. Your mantel is the perfect place to create a warm and inviting focal point with fresh smelling candles and natural elements like small vases filled with single-stem blooms. For your dinner table, a simple linen tablecloth or runner paired with a vase of wildflowers can create a charming and inviting atmosphere. Let your personality shine through in every detail!



And just like that, you're ready for spring! Remember, it's all about creating a space that feels fresh, bright, and inviting. As always, don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with it! Happy spring refreshing!
