1. Bring in some plants
Spring is all about new growth and greenery. Adding some plants to your home can instantly make it feel fresher and more vibrant. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which makes it easier to breathe. They also improve air quality in your home by removing toxins and other pollutants.
With various colours and texture, plants add visual interest to your home. They soften hard edges and make your living space feel more inviting and comfortable.
Furthermore, research has shown that being around plants helps to reduce stress and anxiety, and promote feelings of well-being.
Take a look at some indoor plants that need the least maintenance.
2. Switch up your linens
Replace heavy winter bedding, curtains and sofa slipcovers with lighter fabrics and brighter colours. This can instantly make your home feel more airy and cheerful.
Light and airy fabrics are more comfortable and breathable than heavier fabrics, which can help you stay cool and comfortable during the warmer spring months. Our Cotton Canvas, Comfort Chenille and Pure Linen sofa slipcovers are our customers’ favourites as spring approaches.
3. Declutter your spaces
Spring cleaning is a great time to declutter your home and get rid of anything that no longer serves you. A cluttered home can make you feel overwhelmed and stressed. By decluttering and organising your space, you can create a more calming and relaxing environment.
Not to mention the physical space taken up by those unwanted items, which can make your home feel smaller and more cramped. Throw away the unnecessary items (your ex’s favourite books), create more open space, make your home more comfortable and welcome spring with fresh eyes!
Furthermore, clutter is a major distraction and can make it difficult to focus on important tasks. By clearing away the clutter, you can create a more organised and efficient workspace that helps to improve productivity. Go forth and conquer your goals in 2023!

4. Add some colour
In feng shui, the use of colour is believed to have a significant impact on the energy flow and overall atmosphere of a space. Adding spring colours to your home helps in attracting positive energy, balancing elements and creating a sense of calm.
Spring colours like green, yellow, and light blue are associated with growth, renewal, and positivity. Get that positive feeling going every day this season and maintain the harmonious balance of energy in your home with these colours.
If they aren’t of your taste, soft, muted spring colours like pastel pink and lavender are other options to consider. They are believed to have a calming effect on the mind and body. By using these colours in your home, you can create a more relaxing and peaceful atmosphere in your home.
5. Rearrange your furniture
Since spring is about creating a fresh space, moving furniture around can create a fresh look in your home without the need for new purchases. After that, you’ll be able to see your space in a new light.
If you have a small home, rearranging furniture will allow you to make the most of your available space and improve the functionality of your living areas.
When we talk about spring cleaning, it also means it’s time for deep cleaning. Moving around the furniture gives you the chance to clean the areas that are often overlooked, such as under the couch or behind large pieces of furniture.
With new furniture arrangement and a more spacious-looking home, nothing shouts “It’s spring season!” more than your home decor.
6. Open up your windows frequently
Opening windows allows fresh air to circulate through your home, which can help to improve indoor air quality by removing stale air and pollutants. This can be especially important for people who suffer from allergies or respiratory issues.
Moisture can build up in the air when you shower, cook, or do laundry, causing humidity levels to rise. Opening windows reduces humidity levels in your home by allowing moisture to escape, which can help to prevent issues like mold and mildew.
When it’s warm outside, opening up the windows allows breezes to enter and lower the temperature inside. When it’s cool outside, opening windows can help to warm up your home by allowing sunlight to enter and circulate. This works just like our Comfort Chenille, which helps to regulate your body temperature according to the weather.
Let the light in by opening the windows as it creates a more welcoming and comfortable living environment. Say hello to spring!
7. Swap out artwork and decor
Flowers are a classic symbol of spring, and incorporating floral prints and artwork into your home brings the outdoors inside. This can create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in your living space.
Spring-themed artwork and floral prints are also a great way to add a pop of color and vibrancy to your home. This can be especially effective if your home has a neutral colour scheme, as it can help to create a focal point and add visual interest.
By selecting artwork and floral prints that complement your existing decor, you’re creating a cohesive and coordinated look in your home. This ties different design elements together and creates a sense of harmony in your living space.
