With the colder months behind us, springtime is the perfect season to bring new life into the home and freshen up the space with a few simple tricks. While most people focus this time of year on doing a deep clean of the baseboards, closets and bathroom, there are less tedious and more enjoyable ways to brighten the space.
Add flowers to your space. Whether it’s as center pieces or bedroom bouquets, flowers are a great way to add a touch of nature, fresh scent and beauty to the home. Tulips, peonies and lilacs are in full bloom this time of year and come in a variety of shades and colors to match your mood My go-to spots for flowers are Fresh Market and Whole Foods. Trader Joes also has a good selection that won’t break the bank.
Lighten up the indoors. Swap out dark colored blankets, pillow covers and décor for lighter and brighter tones that will make the space feel comfortable and airy. You can also add a couple of wall mirrors here and there to make the rooms feel bigger.
Play with aromas. Pick out new fresh-scented candles and diffusers to place in the bathroom and kitchen. Fragrances with a touch of citrus scents or eucalyptus are ideal for this time of year.
Swap out lamp shades. Again this goes back to making the home feel lighter and brighter. Changing lamp shades for those with white or bright colors can make a big difference in transforming the home’s décor to be more spring-oriented.
