How To Update Your Home For Spring
March 25, 2021
Spring is finally here and many of us get an urge to spruce up our homes and embrace the energy that comes with the new season.
It’s proven that our surroundings impact how we think and feel. By making simple steps in improving and creating more comfortable and beautiful homes, we can create the lives that feel more joyous and fulfilling to us! It can clear your mind, motivate you to achieve bigger life goals, and yes, even change your life in the long run. Isn’t that amazing?!
Updating or refreshing your home sounds like a simple thing, but the fact is, many people do not know where to start. We surely can give you some rejuvenating tips and ideas to embrace the spring season in your home.
A cluttered space creates a messy mind. It represents a lack of focus on what is important and meaningful to you. So, if you’re holding onto items that used to be significant to you, ask yourself if you truly believe these belongings deserve to take up space in your home anymore. So, be ruthless, harness the power of decluttering your life! Can’t wait to hear from you how much better you feel in your cleaner, fresher and much more organized home!
Now, when your home is decluttered and organized, it’s time to go shopping!!! A new rug would be #1 on my list. If you prefer shopping online, check out Safavie’s rug collections https://safavieh.com/rugs/collections. They have any rug you may think of at different price points.
The rug will be a center of it all, so look for one that sings to you and puts a smile on your face. Challenge yourself, try something different, maybe a bit more colorful than you would normally pick. You may be surprised how much it compliments your home and how different it makes you feel. But, make sure you genuinely love it, because the odds are you’re going to be looking at it a lot. Once you are set on the rug, picking the rest of your décor to compliment that rug should be a breeze!

If you have a weekend to spare, consider repainting your room which is a fairly quick and easy task, but makes a HUGE difference!!! Please leave the cool grays behind! Go with warm comforting hues from soft pastels to serene blues and warm grays to create a calm base. The main goal here is to create a home where you can relax recharge and feel comfortable.
If you need help selecting the right color that will work well with your existing furniture, we would be happy to help! Just give us a call and we can set up an in-home consultation to give you the advise you need.
Take a closer look at your room - what is a focal point in that room? Maybe you can rearrange your existing furniture around a new focal point, or create a reading nook by a window with a view. Try to move things around between different rooms. In your bedroom, try to move the bed to another wall and rearrange the rest of the furniture around it. You may be surprised how different and much better a new layout looks. But be creative - experiment!
Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. We all got so tired looking at all these shades of gray, it’s time to swap them for cheerful and eye pleasing colors. Color is a powerful thing! A neutral space in gray, white and black might feel cool and distant. A space filled with warmer shades and splashes of color will definitely feel inviting and cheerful.
So, go ahead and invest in a beautiful colorful artwork that goes with your new rug, add new pillows and throws in an accent color, or even a new set of drapes to finish up the look and make your room feel cozy.
And, trust me, if you love the color and it brings you joy - it is in style for your home!!!
I can’t stress enough how essential the lighting in our home is to our well-being! Unfortunately, it is commonly overlooked. If your ceiling is still sporting a decades-old light fixture, spring is a great time to revitalize it with something a little more modern. It can instantly update your space, cozy it up, or make a statement. Beautiful pendants or a chandelier over your kitchen island or a dining table can transform your space from drab to fab in a second! Add some floor and table lamps in your living area and your new reading nook. Maybe a couple of wall sconces in your hallway, or above your vanity table?!
And don’t forget to send me pictures of your fabulous new light fixtures:)
One of the easiest ways to update any room is to add a bouquet of fresh flowers or a few plants. Greenery creates a feeling of growth and life, it gives your eye something interesting and colorful to look at, and it makes your space bright and rejuvenating! Decorating with fresh flowers and plants is easy and can be done in every room of your home. Between stunning centerpieces and nightstand-friendly bud vases, there is no place in your home that could use a few flowers.
Yes, it can be hard to keep plants alive, no sweat. There are many great faux plants on the market these days, they’ll do the job as well!
