Is your home looking dreary next to the loveliness of Spring? It’s common for us to feel a little down as we pack away our cozy throw blankets and sparkling winter decoration. But getting your home ready for warmer weather can be a lot of fun and will make your friends and family feel right at home in the new season!

Start by combing your home for stuff that’s broken or that your family doesn’t use any more. Spring cleaning isn’t just about vacuuming and dusting, it’s about starting from a clean slate so that you can build up and make your home look exactly the way you want it to. So make some hard decisions and take everything that you don’t absolutely love to the donation center. If you aren’t sure whether you’re ready to part with a few items, pack them away for a month and see if you missed them. If you didn’t go looking for them, chances are that you don’t really want them lying around.

Next, select an object or two that completely encapsulates the style that you want for your home during the spring. It could be a colorful vase, artwork, or rug that you love. Use that as inspiration for some additional spring accessories by looking for complimentary patterns and similar color schemes. Switching out accent colors from one season to the next is a great way to keep you home feeling fresh. Throw pillows, small area rugs, lamps, and vases are all easy to change out and can make a huge impact on the atmosphere of your room.

Finally, bring some of that wonderful outdoor beauty into your home! Treat yourself with fresh flowers and potted plants to make your home feel bright and well-cared-for. A simple flower in the guest bathroom or miniature herb garden in the kitchen window will help make your home feel truly special. 

Do you feel energized to give your home a makeover this spring?
