How to bring Spring into your home

The past year and a half have been somewhat challenging for many of us, but with the start of a new season, let’s celebrate and welcome the warmer months by bringing spring, new beginnings, positivity and life into our homes. Even if we can’t socialise and enjoy picnics in the park with friends or go to our favourite restaurants as we used to, we can still celebrate spring at home too. After all, it’s the small things we need to celebrate in our lives to bring us joy! So, “spring” into action and have a look at these ideas on how you can bring spring into your home this year.

Fresh flowers

The sight and smell of fresh flowers is a quick and easy way to brighten your surroundings and your mood. Either purchase a beautiful spring bouquet of flowers from your local supermarket or florist, or if you are lucky enough to have a garden full of flowers, place some of these into a vase or even a few nice glasses or bottles in spots where they will catch your eye. Adding indoor plants is also a great reminder of spring – take a look at our tips for adding greenery to your home.

Change up your linen and throws

Spring is all about light colours and textures, so put away your dark, heavy, winter blankets and replace them with white, crisp duvet covers and linen. This will instantly brighten up your rooms.  Bring out the lightweight, textured throws: if you want to add a bit of colour into your home, a new throw or rug is a great way to do this. You can read our tips for picking the perfect rug before you hit the shops. Another great option is to change your cushions depending on the season and if you need help with arranging them we have put together a how to guide for arranging your scatter cushions.

Floral Candles

Bring the smell of a spring garden into your home with floral fragrances such as hyacinth, jasmine and rose. Scented candles or reed diffusers are an affordable and easy way to bring those floral notes into your home and help put a spring in your step.

Sunshine and fresh air

Spring is all about freshness and new beginnings. This is the perfect time to shake out your throws, blankets, pillowcases and sheets. Leave your cushions and duvets outside for a couple of hours to get some fresh air and sunshine. This is also a great time to give your carpets and upholstery a good spring clean – here are our easy steps for you to follow!

Open your windows and doors and let the fresh air in. As things are warming up you will appreciate this more. Let the smell and sounds of spring full your home. The best way to celebrate spring is bring what’s outside, inside. It’s great for your mind and will bring a sense of liveliness into your home.

Picnic in your garden, or a local park

Get the kiddies to help you decorate a space outside with fresh flowers and greenery surrounding you. Put a Picnic blanket on the grass with a few snacks and drinks and enjoy the outdoors. Play some games with your children outside and enjoy the warmth of the sunshine and vitamin D. Studies have proven that spending time in nature really helps reduce stress, so enjoy it and take it all in.
