Brighten Up
Spring is the season of beautiful pastels like blues, yellows, greens and purples, so bring these colours into your home at any chance you have to get that spring feeling all the time.
Replace dark winter colours with softer hues of spring throughout your home.
Add some pillows and swap out heavy blankets for light throws in these colours to brighten up your living spaces.
You can add these colours to your more lightweight bedding or even curtains for spring as well.
Fresh Flowers
Bring Mother Nature inside, liven things up and remind yourself of the season’s rebirth with some beautiful bouquets of flowers.
Tulips and daffodils can brighten up any space, as can hyacinths and eucalyptus plants.
Adding fresh flowers is an easy way to bring life into any space and is an affordable way to bring spring into any room in the house.
Choose a vase in the aforementioned spring colours to complete the look.
Take Out the Lighter Fabrics
It’s time to store away the flannel sheets, heavy blankets, and duvets that kept us warm through winter and pull out lighter fabric options like linen and cotton.
While pastels are a great choice, if that’s not your thing, choose light and crisp neutral colours to make the space feel brighter and bigger.
Paint
Painting can take a little more time than some of the other options on this list, but it’s effective.
Choosing a lovely, light, pale colour will help to brighten up rooms and complement the abundance of natural light we begin to get during the spring.
Swap Scents
If you’re a fragrance person, it’s time for a switch.
Put away candles with those cozy scents of winter like pine, pumpkin and gingerbread.
Choose more fresh scents like citrus or seaside to wake up your senses after hibernating for the winter.
Wake Your Windows
Prepare your windows to be cast open by giving them a good cleaning, allowing more light to filter through.
Put your screens back in and clean out and dust the tracks for easy opening and closing.
If you want to really add to the feeling of spring, put up lightweight curtains that will move with the breeze.
Following these tips will freshen your home up, so it doesn’t just feel like spring outside, but inside your home too.
And don’t forget a good old fashioned spring cleaning!!
It’s super easy to update real estate in Whitby Ontario.
