Easy Spring Decoration Tips That Will Make Your Home More Appealing

When the world emerges from the depths of winter, everything can look a little brighter – and not just outdoors. The arrival of spring is the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at your home decor to reflect the longer days, warmer winds, and brighter natural colours of the season inside your four walls. 

Although it might seem like a chore to rejig your interiors to reflect spring, we promise you that it’s way easier than it looks. You can make simple swaps to items and foliage that will bring light and vibrancy to your home. Doing so will make your house feel bright and new, and will do so whether you're looking to refresh your property for an upcoming sale or just for yourself. 

Rejig your houseplants to bring in more colour.

If winter is the season for holly, pine, and hardy evergreens, spring is the time to let the colour in. The arrival of spring is the perfect time to swap out your deep green houseplants with flowering buds that better reflect the season's colours.

The warmer temperatures provide a chance to put your winter plants outside. Aspidistra will survive in temperatures about 7 degrees Celsius, according to the Royal Horticulture Society, so don’t worry about them perishing if the weather's temperate. Pop peace lilies, gardenias, and begonias in their place. These flowering plants will soon fill your home with shades of white, pale yellow, and pink, and announce it as an immediately welcome space.

Swap heavier fabrics for lighter ones

In spring, it’s time to lean towards airy, bright fabrics. Ditch wool blankets and heavy cotton throws, and switch to lighter fabrics like linen. Don’t be scared of what seem like drastic changes: Swapping out heavier curtains for lighter options doesn’t take very long and will give your room a huge refresh.

Swapping fabrics can also be a great option to boost your home's value. Replacing tired curtains with new ones may help with the valuation process if you're listing your property, and selling your home with WeBuyAnyHome.com or another service. Good curtains not only increase the aesthetic value of your home but also the energy efficiency. Quick sale companies will value your home before offering a final price, and new window treatments could help you secure a better quote. You can also perform this swap in a currently tenanted property you're selling through a quick sale company. 

Switch to brighter colours around your home.

The colour scheme in your home is hugely important. Dr. Joel Frank says via Medicinal Media that well-designed environments create a sense of positivity. When everything outside looks brighter, you want your inside spaces to feel the same. 

As such, spring is the perfect time to swap out the muted blues and greys of winter, and replace them with lighter, fresher tones. Pastel yellows and blues will announce your home as a spring space. Examine your bookshelves, tablescapes, and mantelpieces, and swap in ornaments and table runners to create pops of colour. Throwing on new cushion covers is also a quick way to introduce brightness. 

Although refreshing your home for spring can feel tiresome, you'll be rewarded with a sunnier inside space. You can also keep things cost-effective by sticking to charity shops or car boot sales for new pieces. It’s never too early in the year to think about your seasonal refresh.
