Spring is the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and give your home a fresh, vibrant update. The best part? You don’t need a complete overhaul to make a big impact. Here are some simple ways to refresh your space this season.
Start with a color switch. Swap out heavy, dark textiles for lighter, brighter options. Think soft pastels, cheerful yellows or crisp whites for throw pillows, blankets and curtains. Adding a colorful area rug can also instantly brighten a room.
Next, bring in the outdoors. Fresh flowers or greenery add life and energy to any space. A simple bouquet on the dining table or a cluster of small potted plants on a windowsill make all the difference.
For a truly unexpected touch, consider wallpapering the ceiling—often referred to as the “fifth wall.” Choose a subtle floral pattern, a light pastel or even a bold graphic print to add spring-inspired elegance overhead. This trick works particularly well in smaller spaces like powder rooms or bedrooms.
