How to Refresh Your Home for Spring

There's something utterly rejuvenating about spring. After months of cold and dreary weather, many of us feel an urge to spruce up our homes and embrace the energy that comes with the new season. But it can be difficult to know where to begin to give your space a fresh feel. 

If you're itching to update your home without making a drastic change, Lifestyle Furniture is here to give you some easy ways to embrace the spring season inside and out.

Add a Pop of Color

Bring in pops of color to your bedroom by mixing in new light-weight blankets, throw pillows and other decor in spring-appropriate hues. Replace those dark, winter-themed accessories with Easter-ready pastels. Robin’s egg blue, soft green and yellow may scream spring but are also appropriate for the warmer weather months. Accent rugs are another easy and effective way to add color to your space. There are many cost-effective options, so you can even switch your area rugs out with the seasons.

Looking to add a new design style to your space this season? Bohemian-inspired decor is trendy right now. It relies on fun textures, colors and patterns that are sure to pop in your space and give you the spring update you desire.

Spring Table Decorations

For a dining table, easy decorating ideas for spring involve greenery – either fresh stems and greens or succulents in planters. Bring in spring with pastels, florals, and springy patterns in table runners, napkins, placemats, or table cloths.

For dining table or coffee table bouquets, choose creative and simple vessels that fit your style, whether that’s rustic or modern, industrial or farmhouse chic. Contain your spring blooms in mason jars, berry baskets, pitchers, pretty bottles, or barware. Consider a European tabletop garden like a pretty spring nest with moss and egg décor.

Keep it simple and swap out a few of the items in your coffee table and bookcase décor. Add subtle spring flavor with bicycles, lemons, birds, and terrariums. Update your bookshelves with picture frames and other objects in a springy color palette, while editing out anything that speaks more of winter.

Fabulous Floral

Using fresh flowers brings the beauty of the outdoors inside and is one of the easiest home updates that goes with April showers, May flowers and summer sunshine. There’s nothing like a sprig of forsythia in a glass vase to announce that spring is here. Any new bloom in a bright, festive pot is a welcome addition. Separating bundles of colorful tulips into small vases makes for a striking display. If fresh flowers are not your thing or are simply too hard to find, try incorporating faux plants. Placed on accent tables or on the mantle, these plants play incredibly well with the budding seasonal aesthetic.

Take your love for florals a step further by incorporating a show-stopping floral accent chair or floral area rug into your home. Accent furniture pieces tie the look of a room together. Choose a floral design that complements your decor while also adding interest to your space. The addition of a floral rug to your space is an easy and affordable way to create a bold change. Its floral motif can work well with both traditional and contemporary styled spaces.

Smells of the Spring

Out with pumpkin spice and in with the white jasmine and citrus candles. More spring-friendly scents burning throughout will have your space feeling fresh and uplifted as you transition to a spring-inspired home.

Wall Updates

Celebrate spring with new wall art and inventive wall fixtures. Exchanging a few wall decor pieces here and there as the seasons switchover is a great way to make your room feel fresh and updated. Adding a beautifully framed mirror in your space will not only help bounce light off the walls but help add texture to your room as well. Still haven’t gotten enough florals? Wallpaper can make a bold yet beautiful statement in any room. Peel and stick wallpaper is a simple way to turn a blank wall into the perfect Instagram-worthy backdrop. Consider it a chic upgrade to grandma’s floral covered walls.

Let There Be Light

Lighten up your space with bold pastel lights such as yellow fixtures and decorative accents. Don’t forget to let the light shine in from the outside too. As spring has sprung and the hours of daylight increase by the day, it is the quintessential time to replace those heavy, dark curtains with a whiter and lighter alternative. Create a more open and happy space with more light!

Change your Curtains

Window curtains have a huge effect on the look of your spaces. As such, replacing your heavy winter draperies with some colorful and light shades and curtains could work wonders for your spring home décor. For a few hundred dollars, you can get some readymade curtain panels and have a complete overhaul to welcome the spring. Of course, you could also get some custom window draperies and shades though this will certainly cost more. 

Spruce up the Bedding

Spring is all about awakening, so it’s the perfect time to wake up your bedroom with some new bedding. Easily refresh your look by switching out your heavy winter blankets, throws and pillows with lighter weight and toned styles. The light and airy spring bedroom feel can be best accomplished through layering neutrals and light shades, like white and pale pinks. Neutrals paired with faux plants or wooden accents also scream springtime.

Rearrange and Repurpose

Work with what you already have. Repaint the walls or touch up the ceiling. But don’t stop there with spring painting. Make what’s old new again by reupholstering a piece of furniture in your home. Pick out a bright and fun spring-inspired fabric that complements the other elements in your space well. Not ready for a DIY project? One of the easiest ways to feel an update in your space is by rearranging the existing furniture. With only a few minutes of your time, it will feel like a brand-new space that you can easily fall in love with all over again.
