Spring refresh. Restyle your home this weekend with these simple spring updates
Collaboration
Spring is finally in the air, which means lighter evenings, warmer sunshine, and pops of colour to brighten our days. While winter is a magical season, once the festive period is over, it’s easy to let those dark nights and plummeting temperatures impact our mood, which is why embracing the arrival of spring is even more important.
Springtime means starting afresh and if your home is looking a little tired after those long winter months, then don’t despair. Even the smallest of changes can make a huge impact on the look and the feel of your home – and they don’t have to cost the Earth!
Here are a few top tips for sprucing up your house this spring.
Focus on lighting
Springtime is all about letting the light back in, banishing those dark nights and enjoying the sunshine. Although, it’s worth remembering that April showers, cloudy days, and early mornings, are still prevalent. The solution? Update your lighting. Switching from traditional halogen bulbs to modern, eco-friendly, energy-saving LED options is the perfect way to brighten up your living areas with stylish, customisable lighting. Whether you simply swap the bulbs in your lamps or you go for dimmable options to create the perfect mood – find out more about E14 LED bulbs here – LED lighting can help you welcome spring and update your home interior (or even exterior), saving you money on your energy bills and helping you do your bit for the planet.
Add pops of colour
Just like pops of outdoor colour such as tulips, crocuses and daffodils will bring us joy as winter comes to an end, you can include the same feeling into your home by adding your own pops of colour. Take inspiration from the world outside and think new cushions, throws, vases and accessories in light, sunny colours. Or consider bringing some beautiful Springtime flowers into your home and decorate your living spaces with colourful arrangements.
Prep your windows
Springtime is all about letting light inside, so make sure your windows are prepped and ready. Give them a clean with a natural solution and remove all that grease, grime, and dirt that the winter months have kicked up. Pull pack your curtains and have them freshly laundered or swap them for drapes of a lighter colour and material. Throw open your windows and let the fresh air and light inside.
Consider a rearrangement
You might already have what you need to refresh your living areas. Springtime is all about refreshing the old and welcoming a new approach, so in some cases, simply switching around and rearranging your furniture could make all the difference. Whether you completely change over your rooms, or you remove certain items to create a minimalistic look and banish clutter.
And finally, Spring clean!
If your home needs some TLC, then a good spring clean can help you transform your living areas and make you feel good too! Focus on one room at a time and indulge in a deep clean. It’s the perfect way to welcome Spring and update your home.
