As spring approaches, I’ve been thinking about all the little ways I like to get my home ready for the season. It’s not just about cleaning—it’s about creating a fresh, welcoming space that makes me excited for the warmer months ahead. After all, who doesn’t love to feel renewed, refreshed, and even transformed as we shift into this vibrant season? Here are some of my favorite things to do around the house as we say goodbye to winter and embrace spring:
1. Create a Spring Cleaning Playlist
Make your cleaning process fun by playing your favorite upbeat tunes. A custom spring-cleaning playlist will keep you energized and motivated as you tidy up!
2. Rearrange Furniture for a New Perspective
Spring is a great time to change up the layout of your living spaces. Try rearranging your furniture to create a fresh atmosphere, maximize natural light, and open up space for better flow.
3. Create a Spring-Scented Atmosphere
Swap out heavy, wintery scents for lighter, floral or citrusy fragrances. You could try candles, diffusers, or essential oils with scents like lavender, lemon, or jasmine. The fresh scent will help signal the arrival of the season and uplift your space.
4. Revamp Your Home Decor
Add bright and airy touches to your home with new throw pillows, light linens, or vibrant artwork. Consider incorporating pastel colors, botanical prints, or nature-inspired pieces to reflect the season’s energy.
5. Organize Your Closet for Spring Wardrobe
Transition your wardrobe by putting away heavy coats and sweaters, and bring out lighter jackets, dresses, and spring shoes. You’ll feel ready to embrace the season—and it helps your closet feel less cluttered!
6. Bring Nature Inside
Adding plants to your home can instantly breathe new life into any room. Consider adding a few potted plants, succulents, or flowers to your space for a natural spring vibe.
7. Clean Your Outdoor Spaces
If you have a patio, balcony, or backyard, spend some time cleaning and refreshing these areas. Power wash your outdoor furniture, clean the grill, and add some cozy outdoor pillows or a new rug. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the warmer weather.
8. Update Your Lighting
As the days get longer, consider swapping out your lighting for something brighter and more natural. Try using daylight bulbs or even fairy lights for a soft, warm glow that reflects the longer spring days.
9. Don’t Forget to Let in the Sunshine!
As you prep your home for spring, don’t forget to embrace the season’s cheerful vibes. Take a moment to open those windows, let the fresh air in, and let the sunshine pour through! A burst of natural light instantly lifts your mood and gives your home a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Plus, spring is the perfect time to swap out those heavy winter curtains for lighter, breezier fabrics that let the sun shine through.
Last but Not Least…
Spring is not just about refreshing your space—it’s about refreshing your mindset. A clean, organized home can have a positive impact on your mental well-being, making your environment feel lighter and more uplifting. As you prepare your home for the season, take the time to enjoy the process and embrace the calm, positive energy that comes with it. Here’s to a season of renewal, both in your home and in your life!
