When the cold season seems too long and you can’t wait for the warm season to arrive, why not bring a little bit of spring to your home? While it may be too early for some to start preparing their house for the season, I’m ready to welcome the season into my home. The best way to do this is to keep it simple and stress-free.
4 Simple Ways To Bring Spring Early Into Your Home
1. Deep Spring Clean
You’ve probably heard the phrase “spring cleaning” before. It means cleaning your entire house from top to bottom, room by room. This thorough cleaning should include areas you don’t usually clean, like beneath furniture, on top of bookshelves, and so on. This is the perfect time to do a deep clean, especially if you live in an area that gets very cold in the winter. For us, we’ve had our house closed up tight for months, so it feels great to open the windows and let in some fresh air while getting all the nooks and crannies cleaned up.
This includes washing the bed sheets, curtains, windows, and slipcover couch, airing out rugs, cleaning the floor under it, organizing closets, and dusting everything. It’s also a good time to put away all the winter decorations and get rid of anything you no longer need. This will leave you with a clean slate to add some spring decoration.
2. Spring Themed Decor
I usually like to have a theme when I decorate my home. I like my decor to be neutral but still have some elements. To make it more like spring, I usually like to add some woven baskets or terracotta vases, spring wreaths, and anything garden-related to give my home more spring vibes. Also don’t forget spring-themed throw pillows to add more elements to your decor.
3. Light-Weight Throw Pillows And Color Scheme
Spring is the perfect time to embrace light colors. It’s time to put away all your heavy blankets, knit pillows, and dark-colored fabrics. I prefer to stick to a neutral color scheme, but if you feel like neutrals are too dull, you can always add a few pastel colors to your color scheme. Pastel colors will still make your home feel light and airy.
Switching out your throw pillows is a great way to change the look of your home. To keep it budget-friendly, I recommended purchasing pillow covers with a nice set of pillow inserts. That way you will only need to purchase the pillow covers when you switch out your decor.
4. Flowers And Greens
Whether you prefer real plants or faux ones, adding flowers to your home is a great way to bring in the freshness of spring. I would choose real plants as they help to purify the air in my house. However, since my family is currently living in my in-law’s basement, we are unable to have real plants. We are doing what we can to celebrate the season and make the most of the small space we have. So the faux ones are my only option to bring some green elements into my spring decor.
