Now is the perfect time to refresh your closet—and to refresh your home for spring. In this season of renewal and Spring cleaning, it’s an ideal moment to banish heavy décor, declutter and brighten up spaces and give living spaces a brighter, lighter makeover.
Of course, swapping out entire furniture sets probably isn’t feasible on most budgets. Still, with a few simple hacks—and these 15 perfect purchases—it’s easy to pull off a gorgeous home refresh. All without breaking the bank!
1. Refresh Your Home for Spring: Turn Cleaning into Organizing
Spring cleaning is almost a cliché, but there’s something to be said for taking stock of home décor inventory. Want to really refresh your home for spring? Instead of simply dusting and mopping, use this opportunity to get organized. Sure, donating unused items will feel great and help pull off a house refresh. But simply organizing existing clutter will free up more floor space and make room for seasonal decorations that can brighten up the space. Want to combine the forces of organization and decoration? Grab a few of these large MINTWOOD woven baskets from Amazon, and scatter them throughout the house for storing stray magazines, toys, or even unused throw blankets.
2. Add New Colors to a Space
Outside, spring flowers are bringing color back to the trees and flower beds. So it’s a great time to mix up interiors by adding colorful accents to a few rooms in the home. One great way to do so? Pick up a pretty, printed area rug, like this Safavieh Casablanca Tiana shag carpet, and place it in the entryway to greet guests with a splash of seasonal coloring. Or, to add less permanent spring shade to a space, this Nourison Life Styles decorative pillow in blush would also do the trick.
3. A House Refresh in White is Nice Too
Color adds a special spring element when you wish to refresh your home for spring, but a crisp white palette reflects the fresh start that comes with the turn of a new season. Crisp and clean white décor offers an uplifting element to any design space. Now, if kids share the home, investments like white couches or all white carpets don’t make much sense. But adding a large white vase with flowers, like this geometric oval set from Amazon, is a great way to pull off a home refresh without spending the next few months scrubbing out stains. And, for the slightly bolder decorator, bringing in solid white decorative pillows like these waffle weave Euro shams adds an easy house refresh to any sitting area. It’s also a great way to get the feel of new spring bedding, without investing in a fresh duvet cover or full sheet set.
4. Think of the Throws
Every cozy sitting space needs a great throw blanket for days and nights that want to get cuddly. Plus, sofa blankets are a great way to add additional textural elements to any design concept. And, since throws come in so many weights and weaves, it’s easy to brighten a room by swapping out heavy woolen blankets for a lighter, microfiber blend in a fresh Spring print like this sweet selection from Barefoot Dreams.
5. Consider New Wall Hangings
Got a blank space that needs filling, or a dusty old painting that feels heavy and outdated? To really refresh your home for spring, swap outdated artwork for lighter, fresher choices like this set of three minimalist wall art designs, crafted from real metal and ideal for adding visual interest—and a fresh new feel—to any empty wall canvas.
Prefer a more traditional design? Try this set of three sunburst wall mirrors—they’re an especially great choice for small or low-ceilinged spaces, as the reflective surfaces give the illusion of additional square footage.
6. Bring on the Lighting Concepts
When the clocks spring forward, the world gets some added hours of daylight. So a spring home refresh should help the indoors reflect that brightness. Got a room that just feels gloomy? This set of two antique brass table lamps adds instant warmth, seasonal brightness, and so much elegance, making it the perfect choice for a quick home refresh.
7. Channel Nature
To really celebrate this season of rebirth, it’s a great idea to add natural elements—think greens and flowers—to indoor spaces. But if keeping a houseplant alive seems like a daunting task, never fear. Just top a desk or coffee table with this set of three geometric glass terrariums, and the artificial succulents will add the illusion of nature without any of the life-preserving responsibilities that come with real, live plants.
Not into fake—or real—greenery? No problem. Another great way to bring the outdoors into a design concept is to work with nature-inspired materials, like the bark-inspired pattern on these decorative ceramic vases from Amazon.
8. Try New Display Items
One final way to pull off a season home refresh? Apply all of the ideas above to new display items for tabletops. Inspired by the idea of decluttering and organizing for spring? Banish groups of knick knacks to closed cabinets, and highlight one or two favorites by placing them on a pretty, gold-toned organizing tray. Want to add more color to a design scheme? Pick a piece that pops, like this glow pink Himalayan salt shop lamp. More inspired by a crisp, white palette? Try this farmhouse inspired, geometric twist on the large white vase with flowers theme.
Of course, the options are virtually endless. But the concept remains constant. There doesn’t need to be a major cash investment in order to refresh your home for spring. Instead, by following some simple home design rules, and carefully selecting a few new targeted purchases, it’s quite simple to pull off an invigorating seasonal home refresh, without worrying about new paint colors or furniture orders.
