Refreshing your home for Spring is a great way to welcome the season. By tackling just a few key areas at a time, be it on your own or with the help of an interior designer, you can make quick and easy changes to keep your home living space looking and feeling refreshed all season long!

Declutter

Spring is the perfect time to declutter your living space. This can make a huge difference in your home’s aesthetic and keep it tidy and organized throughout the year. As you start to Spring clean, it’s important to decide what you want to focus on and set a goal for yourself. Whether you’re looking to eliminate clutter or create more space, setting a specific objective will help you stay on track and motivated through the process. Depending on how large your home is, it might be more efficient to break decluttering up into smaller projects. This way, you won’t have to deal with the overwhelming task of cleaning an entire house at once. Well thought out storage is essential to help meet your home decluttering goals. Investing in display shelving for all your favorite objects neatly combines form with function.

Add a Fresh Coat Of Paint

A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to refresh your home living space. Whether you want to change the color of your bedroom walls or give your dining room a new feel, paint can make a big difference. A new paint job is also an excellent way to protect your walls and surfaces from damage. Over time, materials like drywall can absorb moisture, which can degrade their structural integrity and increase the risk of mold and mildew growth.

Rearrange Furniture

Rearranging furniture is an age-old home improvement trick that has several benefits, including an overall fresher look. According to Feng Shui, rearranging furniture can bring positive energy and harmony into your space. And aside from the obvious functional and aesthetic benefits, rearranging your furniture can be good for your mental health as well. For many people, it serves as a creative outlet and a feel-good exercise that elevates their moods and stimulates imagination. Moreover, it is often the most cost-effective home improvement trick you can do without professional interior design services.

Arrange Fresh Blooms

Arranging fresh blooms in your home for Spring can be a simple and beautiful way to add color and texture. But it’s important to know how to make sure your arrangement stays fresh and vibrant. To start, make sure your flowers have plenty of greenery. Eucalyptus, ivy and fern fronds are all good options. Be sure to clip lower leaves so they’re not immersed causing bacteria in the water If you’re creating a larger bouquet, instead divide it into several smaller arrangements to keep the look less uniform and more organic. And to keep your new florals fresh, cut the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle before placing in a vase. This ensures water will reach the entire surface of the stem and recut the stems 1-2 inches from the bottom every couple of days. Changing the water daily will also help them stay fresh longer.

Trays

As any of my clients will tell you I am a big fan of trays. They are perfect for corralling pesky remote controls, displaying coffee table books, candles, bowls of fruit and floral arrangements. Everything is gathered together and all looks beautiful. Interested in learning more? Contact me today!
