As the days grow longer and the air gets warmer, it’s time to shake off the winter blues and prepare your home for the vibrancy of spring. A little seasonal refresh can make all the difference in how your home looks and feels.
Here are 5 simple, but effective ways to get your home ready for the new season.
Refresh Your Entryway
Your home’s entryway sets the tone for the entire space. Swap out winter boots and coats for lighter layers, and consider adding a stylish doormat and a cheerful wreath to welcome the season. If you have an outdoor entry, give your front door a fresh coat of paint or a deep clean to brighten up your home’s first impression.
De-Clutter and Deep Clean
Spring cleaning is a tradition for a reason! Take the time to declutter areas that may have gathered extra items over the winter months. Donate or store away heavy textiles, organize closets, and deep clean high-touch areas like windows, baseboards, and kitchen surfaces. A thorough clean will not only make your home feel fresh but also improve air quality.
Bring in Fresh Colors and Lighter Textures
Say goodbye to heavy, dark-colored throws and swap them for lightweight fabrics in soft pastels or bright, happy hues. Updating your pillow covers, table linens, and bedding with lighter textures and colors can instantly lift the mood of your home and embrace the change in season.
Incorporate Greenery and Florals
Nothing says spring like fresh flowers and lush greenery. Bring nature indoors with potted plants, fresh-cut flowers, or even an herb garden in your kitchen. If you have an outdoor space, refresh your garden beds, plant seasonal flowers, and ensure your patio furniture is clean and ready for use.
Let in The Light
After months of short days, maximizing natural light is a must. Clean your windows inside and out to let in as much sunlight as possible. Swap heavy drapes for airy, sheer curtains, and consider adding mirrors to reflect light and make your space feel brighter and more open.

Switch up your bedding. Nows the perfect time to add some stripes or other neutrals besides white to brighten up that bed.
Upgrade your countertop olive oil and vinegars. I always go for something pretty but also that tastes amazing. This one is my absolute fave!
Add some new plateware to your collection for spring - splatterware dishes are timeless and to me are perfect for spring and summer. I love a neutral brown but are gorgeous in any color!
Switch up your front porch pots and planters (and don't forget to update the plants to something that screams warmer weather). Unglazed terracotta goes with any type of home and looks good year round.
Add a new table lamp to a room in your home that needs a little freshening up. Table lamps bring in warmth even when they aren't in use. The natural ceramic base of this one is perfect to bring in texture at the same time.
Been wanting to upgrade your coffee table? Spring is a time you'll want to incorporate more lighter woods and materials in your home - and this burl wood waterfall edge table does just that.
Spring means adding natural materials like jute wherever you can. These jute trays come in handy all over the house to collect loose items.
Need some more inspiration to work hard as the sun is starting to come out more and more? Upgrade some of your office furniture to make the space motive and inspire. I love the look of this budget friendly desk from Martha Stewart.
