Embrace the spring renewal

Spring symbolises new beginnings, and what better way to celebrate this season than by refreshing your home? Take advantage of the opportunity to revitalise your space, making it feel brighter, cleaner, and more inviting.
Make the decision to take advantage of the season's revitalising energy and make it match your home!
Declutter and organise your space
It all starts with decluttering. We can attest that nothing makes a space feel more spacious than a simple reorganisation.
Start by decluttering each room and tossing items you no longer need or use. A spring revamp is always well thought out when you have a blank canvas from which to work. Consider using storage solutions like baskets, shelves, and organisers to keep everything tidy.
Add a splash of colour

Spring is all about vibrant colours and fresh hues. Try to incorporate colours such as warm greens, yellows, orangey reds, very peachy pinks and every shade of light brown from tan to palest beige into your spring interior design.
This can be as simple as adding a few colourful throw pillows or rugs or swapping out your artwork for something more lively. Choose shades that complement your existing decor and bring your home a cheerful, lively atmosphere.

Incorporate fresh flowers and greenery
Nothing says spring like fresh flowers and lush greenery. Bring the outdoors in by placing vases of fresh blooms in different rooms. Houseplants bring nature indoors while also improving your air quality. Choose plants that are easy to care for and thrive indoors, such as succulents, peace lilies, or snake plants.
Support local nurseries and consider buying from our selected list:
Update your soft furnishings

You have to think about the finishing touch, and updating your soft furnishings is an easy and effective way to refresh your home interior design. To lighten the atmosphere, swap out heavy winter curtains for lighter, airier options. Replace dark, cosy blankets with light, colourful throws and think about changing your cushion covers, bed linens, and even towels to reflect spring's bright, fresh feel.
Perhaps it's time for new linens?
Revamp your outdoor area
Spring is the perfect time to pay attention to your outdoor spaces. Clean and prepare your patio or garden for the upcoming months. Consider adding new outdoor furniture or freshen up existing pieces with a coat of paint. Plant seasonal flowers or herbs to bring out the vibrance of the season. Fragrance is key, and with a little TLC, you can create a garden that you can enjoy all season long.
Enhance natural light

Part of the biophilic movement (which is about bringing nature into your home) is the ability to maximise natural lighting. Start by cleaning your windows inside and out to let in as much light as possible.
Consider using sheer curtains or blinds that can be easily opened during the day. Mirrors strategically placed opposite windows can also help reflect light and make your rooms feel more significant.
Can't find the pieces you're looking for? Visit these stores:
Switch to lighter fabrics
With warmer weather comes the need for lighter fabrics so make the switch soon! Replace heavy, insulating textiles with breathable, lightweight options. Choose cotton or linen for your bedding, curtains, and upholstery. These fabrics look fresh and airy and help keep your home cool and comfortable.
Introduce spring scents
Smell is one of the most potent senses for evoking memories and emotions. It can significantly influence our perception of space, and spring scents have a direct connection to the brain's limbic system, which is responsible for emotion and memory.
Tease out that nostalgia and use scented candles, essential oils, or potpourri with fragrances like lavender, citrus, or fresh linen.

Refresh your decor
A slight reprieve from the general makeover but just as important! Add decorative items like floral arrangements, spring-themed artwork, or pastel-coloured accessories. These small touches can make a big difference in the overall feel of your home.
Do you have some rugs and paintings stored away? Maybe a few lighter furniture options? A seasonal flip can fully transform your home without spending anything.
Rearrange your furniture for a new look
Stick to the theme of going through your stored items because sometimes, a new furniture arrangement is all it takes to refresh your home. Experiment with different layouts to see what works best for your space. Even simply rearranging your existing furniture can give your rooms a fresh, new look with minimal effort.
Create a cosy outdoor seating area

As the weather gets warmer, you'll likely spend more time outside. Take advantage and set up a cosy outdoor seating area to relax and enjoy the fresh air. Add comfortable seating, such as a hammock, outdoor sofa, or cushioned chairs and remember to include soft lighting, like fairy lights or lanterns, to create a warm, inviting ambience.
Deep clean for a fresh start
A thorough deep cleaning is essential for a truly refreshed home. Clean every nook and cranny, from windows and floors to appliances and upholstery.
