Updating your home for spring
With spring just around the corner it is the perfect time to add a few new design touches to your home and give your rooms a new lease of life. With the weather getting sunnier and flowers beginning to bloom, adding a touch of the season to your house is a great way to come out of winter with a fresh outlook and a beautiful house. Fortunately you don’t need to have a complete makeover or spend a lot of money to give your home the feeling of spring. Here are a few tips and tricks to help bring your house to life.
Bring a bit of nature into the house
When people think of spring, they usually associate it with flowers and nature. Having an assortment of flowers and vases is a great way to brighten up a home and add a splash of vibrant colour to any of your rooms. Not only this, flowers will bring the quintessential scent of spring and nature, which will really help brighten up your home.
Consider changing your soft furnishings
If you’re trying to change the feel of a room then choosing new curtains and pillows is a great way to do it. These simple things can completely change the atmosphere of a room without meaning that you have to replace all of your furniture. Going for lighter tones, such as lightly coloured curtains or blinds, for a fantastic way to give your room the feeling of spring and bring a sense of freshness and nature.

Having a spring clean
It may sound simple, but having a good clear out of older stuff can not only be very therapeutic, but also help make your home more open and inviting. There is a reason why the concept is so linked with this time of year. After being shut in for winter, now is the ideal time to brush off the cobwebs and free up some space in your house.
Add some colour
Whether you want to recolor a room entirely or just give furniture and walls a lick of paint, it can be a fantastic way to revitalise rooms and make them stand out. Colour schemes that include pastels, greens and light colours will help open up your living space and give it a truly spring feel.
Have a furniture re-shuffle
When it comes to the furniture in your house, simply moving it all around can make rooms feel completely different. Splashing out on a new piece of furniture or replacing an older one can also be very therapeutic. Many people wait until an entire room rehaul to replace furniture, but buying a new shelf or bookcase can help you reevaluate your room layout and give you a fresh new perspective on your home's design.
Spring is traditionally a time for new life, so bring out the dusters, get some new breezy curtains, and inject some seasonal touches to breathe new life into your home.
