How To Give Your House A Mini Spring Refresh
As the days start getting longer again and the snow melts into puddles, it’s hard not to get excited for the new season to come. Spring cleaning is pretty annoying, though. All the dusting, disinfecting, and wiping down of appliances and furniture is unpleasant but necessary.
But after all that is done and over with, you can finally move on to the fun part–giving your home a brand-new look by revamping the decor. You don’t need to buy all new furniture or renovate entire rooms. Simply switching out small items can make a huge difference.
As we transition from winter to spring, here are some ways you can refresh your home to welcome in the warm weather.
Swap Out Your Bedding
Give your bedroom a fresh new look by switching out your thick blankets and heavy throw pillows for something lighter and brighter. Keep your winter bedding out of sight by storing them away in the closet or dresser.
Now that the temperatures are rising, we’re no longer going for a cozy vibe. Sheets with colorful floral patterns will help brighten up your space and make the room feel more open and inviting.
Invest in a New Plant
Incorporate some nature into your home by decorating with some greenery or a bouquet of flowers. Even the slightest touch of the outdoors will remind you that spring is taking place.

Declutter Shelves
Reorganize your shelves and clean off other surface areas like your desk or kitchen counter to start the spring season off on the right foot. Remove things that you haven’t touched in a while or are sick of looking at to decrease clutter.
You’ll feel more inspired to be productive when your space is clear!
Change Out Living Room Decor
Swap the chunky cold-weather fleece blankets for a lightweight, breathable throw so that you can get through spring without overheating. Hang new artwork on your walls that embrace the spirit of spring.
Think bright colors, floral landscapes, or anything nature-related.
Don’t hesitate to add pops of color here and there to replace any darker neutral tones usually associated with winter. Airy curtains or a cheerful vase will assist with creating an atmosphere that screams springtime.
Adjust the Lighting
Open your curtains and utilize natural lighting whenever you can to help lighten up your space. White linen curtains versus dark drapes will make a room feel more lively. You can also switch out your lampshades. Change out the sizes or play around with different types of lightbulbs.
