5 Inexpensive Tips to Freshen Up Your Home This Spring


Spring is in the air, which means new life, new routines, and new ways to dress up your home, as warmer days peek through …and summer days aren’t quite here yet. For many of us, springtime can also mean a slew of activities on the calendar.

 

So what’s the key to a simple home refresh this spring?

 

Minimal output of your time, energy, and money, all geared to creating the maximum impact. If you’re moving soon — or even just planning to stay and truly enjoy your existing home — then we’ve got five simple and inexpensive ways to refresh your home this spring. And if you’re hoping to list your place soon, or just moved in, then all the more reason to enjoy these ideas with ease.

 

Spring Refresh Tip Number One: Dress up the front door.

Pick up some DIY materials or find your way to the floral department at your favorite home goods store, and get a new wreath for your door. (This might be one area for you to splurge a little if you’re not very crafty.) Another option? If you have a neutral-colored wreath (perhaps made from wood or greenery), simply add a lovely spring bow to it, and call it a day.

 

Spring Refresh Tip Number Two: Clean and de-clutter the whole house.

Finish tackling what you probably started earlier this year with a deep clean to the house, given that the weather has likely changed to allow for more of an indoor-outdoor clean. Move all your holiday and winter decor items into longer-term storage bins. This time of year is also a great opportunity to toss, donate, or give away those items you no longer need or want.

 

Spring Refresh Tip Number Three: Change out the sheets and dish towels.

You might want to purchase a new seasonal pattern, or you could swap out what you already own for a more springtime vibe — it’s up to you to decide which works best. When your bedroom and kitchen feel more cheerful and festive, it’s likely that you will, too.

 

Spring Refresh Tip Number Four: Add a new scent.

Whether you use a different scented candle or try some essential oils, adding some beautiful, fragrant scents to your home can keep the lavish springtime vibe going strong, for minimal cost (or it’s free if you simply re-use something from last year).

 

Spring Refresh Tip Number Five: Change out your artwork.

This could be adding a whimsical piece with seasonal colors on display, or even printing some fun seasonal photos at the local photo shop with fanciful frames you grab at the Dollar Store.
