The first flowers of the year are finally starting to bloom, adding little pops of color to an otherwise dreary landscape. Tiny sprouts of bright green dot the trees and hillsides. A warm breeze and the smell of fresh growth tell you that spring has finally arrived!
I love spring. I love how nature hits the refresh button and offers the promise of something new. This time of year always makes me want to bring that fresh, new, exciting feeling to my own home. Spring can be a great time to clean out, reorganize, and update your home décor to create a fresh new look for the season. Here are few ideas to help you get started with creating your own new look….
Reorganize
To get started, I always do a quick purge and reorganization of the spaces that my family uses most. Over time, clutter tends to build up and often we don’t even notice it happening at first, but then one day you look around and go “what happened to my house!?” Start small and break each room up into more manageable sections, to make the job easier.

Switch Out Throw Pillows and Blankets
Start small by switching out some throw pillows with floral prints or a little color. Don’t forget to change up your blankets too, pack away the cozy, heavy throws that have helped you get through winter and add in lighter options. This is a great way to add another little dash of color too.

Add Greenery
Adding some greenery can really transform your space and help to bring that natural outdoor living feeling inside. Whether its a tree in the corner or a a shelf that dripping with plants, adding plants (faux or real— depending on how green your thumb is) makes your home feel more welcoming and alive.
Update the Table Centerpiece
Updating the table centerpiece is a great way to show off your personal style and taste. Choose a color theme or add in decorative spring holiday elements to make your home feel fresh and vibrant.
Change Up Your China & Dishes
Have colorful vintage glassware or colored dish sets? Adding these into the mix for entertaining will liven up your dinner parties and make your gatherings extra special.
Rethink Your Vignettes
Take inventory of your home décor (both on display and packed away) and revamp the styling on your console, coffee table, bookshelves, nightstands and more to give your home a fresh new look and feel.
Change Your Candles
This is a great time to take stock of the candles throughout your home. Changeout any that have wintery scents and update them with fresh citrus or floral scents. Keep them neutral in color, or sprinkle in a little more color by choosing candles in colorful glass jars.
Paint
Been thinking about repainting your walls or looking for a way to refresh that old dresser? Paint it! Choose something timeless or be a bit daring and pick a lively color for spring or a soft pastel to offer a fresh new look.

Try incorporating fresh blooms or colorful stems into your centerpieces, vignettes and greenery. Spring is the perfect time of year to add playful blossoms into your home décor.
Change the Bedding
Time to pack away all the heavy comforters and down duvets, and update the bedroom by adding in lighter fabrics. Spring is a great time to incorporate a light coverlet or quilt, and linen or cotton fabrics into your bedding in preparation for the warm months ahead.
Revamp Your Outdoor Living Spaces
Time to clean off the patio and give your outdoor living spaces a new look. Rethink how to best use the space depending on how you like to entertain. Try switching up the furniture arrangement, adding in a rug or updating the pillows to create a fresh new space perfect for entertaining and enjoying this spring.
