1. Refresh a Room by Moving the Furniture

I’m always moving the furniture in our home. It not only changes the look and gives it a refresh but it also forces me to clean under the sofa and chairs and when I know the house is really clean, it just brightens my day.

2. Add Greenery to your Home

In the spring, I always splurge on a few new house plants but I also use faux greenery to give everything a fresh outdoor feel. I especially like to use greenery in my bookshelves in spring.

I’ve also added a light garland to the fireplace mantel. I cute little bunny tucked into the vine, a bird’s nest, and some sweet birds add the perfect little touch to the space.

Last year I wrote a post about freshening up my front porch for spring. You can read about that HERE

3. A Fresh Coat of Paint

This is also the time of year when sometimes a room in my house needs a fresh coat of paint. Paint is a relatively inexpensive way to brighten and freshen up a room. The walls in my great room are blue but not the right blue that matches my new blue & white rug. A fresh coat of paint is definitely in order soon.

I also have been wanting to paint an old coffee table that I picked up at a barn sale for $10. Well, it finally happened last week and I couldn’t be happier with it.

4. Purging, Cleaning and Organizing

I always do really deep purge, clean, and organize in February. Along with many of my followers, we tacked that project and it just makes way for a spring refresh. Once I’ve lightened up your rooms, it gives you the chance to add those new plants and some spring decor.

I feel like I go all out for Christmas so when the spring decor comes out, I really do keep it to a minimum. I will say that I was inspired by my friend KariAnn Wood from Thistlewood Farms to RUN not walk to my local Target and get some of the cutest things from the “Bullseye Spot” (used to be the $1 Spot).

How cute are these! And talk about decorating on a budget?

5. Switch out my Pillow and Throws

By switching out my pillows and throws, it gives a new flavor to the space and I typically use blue and white but what if you added yellow to the blue and white or a cute tapestry multi-colored pillow that I found at HomeGoods. I also got a light blue throw from Target. Even though it’s cable knit, the color just screams spring to me.

I have a new system with my throw pillows. I’m only purchasing pillow covers. That way I can keep all of my pillow covers neatly stored in a single basket in a closet and I only keep one set of the size pillow inserts that I use most often. What a space saver.

6. Refresh your Lighting

I moved a lamp that was in my kitchen to a corner of my bookshelves and boy did that make a difference. Bringing a floor lamp from my office and putting it in a corner next to my favorite reading chair made a huge difference. I personally prefer table and floor lamps for mood and task lighting to overhead lighting. It’s just too harsh for my taste.

Another spring thing that I do every so often is buy new lamp shades. After a while, no matter how clean you are, lampshades just get nasty and need to have a fresh new shade, especially if you like crisp white shades as I do.

I will admit that I miss the little lamp that I took out of the kitchen so I will definitely be on the hunt for a replacement. Again, that little lamp in the corner of my kitchen countertops, just adds something to the space. Goodwill, I’m on my way!!!

7. Fresh Spring Flower Refresh

Last but certainly not least is fresh flowers in the spring. I’m a sucker for tulips, roses, and especially ranunculus (when I can find it). We still have a good month or more before we will see our tulips from outside peeking through the ground but I’m so lucky to have a Trader Joe’s that’s close by and I’m probably one of their biggest fans. At least I like to think so. Their flowers are so affordable and fresh that I splurge almost every week for a bunch or two. I’ve even used Trader Joe’s flowers for two weddings last year.
