It's Time for a Spring Update

There's something mesmerizing and completely rejuvenating about spring.

It's a new beginning, an awakening of sleepy flowers and trees, and the end of what's usually a long, holiday season. After a whole year of staying indoors, many of us feel an urge to spruce up our homes and indulge in the vibrant energy that comes with the new season. But it can be difficult to know where to begin to give your space a fresh feel. If you're in for spring, and ready to add some spring touches to your home, then here are some very simple ways to do it

Bring the Outdoors Indoors

Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal in the outdoors, so your interior should feel the same. Swap out dark colors for bright pastels and neons if you’re more daring. You can also choose to update a central piece of furniture like dining room chairs or a central couch.

Don’t forget to add a fresh bouquet to bring light, colour, and a fresh feel to your space. From bunches of lilies or orchids to sprigs of eucalyptus and hyacinths, take advantage of all those flowers at your local grocery store. Decorating with fresh flowers is easy and can be done in every room of your home. If you’re not so green-thumbed, add an easy-to-maintain faux flower set.

STYLE YOUR SURFACES

Styling your surfaces is perfect for adding your personal signature to your space. Make sure you have fun with it!

Here are a few tips to get you started:

Use stacks of books to raise objects off the surfaces
Combine items in groups of threes–preferably with a tall item, a shorter, more sculptural item, and a horizontal item
Edit your looks to make sure you’re not over-styling or combining too many elements
Balance hard and soft objects, as well as things with different textures, colors, tones, and styles
Place some things in front of others and some off to the side–to create more depth and give the space a more natural look.

Swap Out Candles

If you're someone who fills your home with pumpkin-scented and other seasonal candles around the holidays, it's time to swap those candles for something a little more spring-friendly, like Cire Trudon’s Les Belles Matières range. Its floral scents instantly transport you to a Mediterranean Spring garden. Reach for floral or citrus candles to liven up any room in your house.

Reduce Clutter

It's the season for spring cleaning, and that means out with the old!

Find things that no longer spark joy and give them away. Like springtime, it’s time to make space for fresh things and opportunities.

Another fun decorating idea is to add baskets for a fresh multifunctional aesthetic.

Adding a basket or two is a great way to reduce clutter and change up your look. A lovely woven basket is a perfect accessory to store everything from throw blankets to children’s toys and books while keeping everything looking chic and stylish.
