Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home, but you don’t need to spend a fortune to do it. With a few simple updates, you can breathe new life into your space while keeping costs low. The key? Smart swaps, creative styling, and shopping your own home. As always, my motto applies: make your home your happy!
Refresh with Textiles
One of the easiest and most affordable ways to refresh your home is with textiles. Swap out those heavy winter throws for light, airy ones that bring a sense of springtime freshness. Add some cushions in Pantone’s colour of the year, Butter Yellow, or a cheerful floral pattern for a pop of colour. A new table runner and bright-coloured napkins can also make a big difference, giving your space a lively update without breaking the bank. It’s a simple way to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Bring in Greenery
Nothing says spring like plants and flowers, but you don’t need to buy expensive arrangements. Take a walk outside and forage for greenery—branches with new buds, wildflowers, or even simple ivy from the garden can be displayed in vases for a fresh, organic look. Alternatively, Faux flowers are becoming increasingly realistic so mix a few arrangements up with the real ones such as these silk Peonies in a stunning Teal Apothecary Vase.
Shop from the Comfort of Your Home
One great trick is to shop your own home. Rearranging items can breathe new life into your space! For instance, that candleholder from the bedroom might look fantastic on the coffee table. Consider changing up your artwork as I'm always refreshing my gallery wall. Restyle your bookshelves, or repurpose a basket as a plant holder. These small changes cost nothing but can transform the feel of your home completely. Also, a good declutter and deep clean instantly make space for a few new key pieces to take you through to autumn.
Let in Light and Fresh Air
Finally, embrace the power of scent and lighting. Open the windows, let in fresh air, and bring in some spring-inspired scents. Swap out heavy lampshades for lighter ones as the evenings get longer, and consider fairy lights for a subtle, magical glow. Remember, making your home your happy place doesn’t have to be expensive—it just takes a little creativity and a love for your space!
