Spring is the perfect time to freshen up your home and bring new life into your space. With warmer temperatures and longer days ahead, it's time to put away the heavy winter decor and embrace the light and airy feeling of spring. Here are 5 ways to freshen up your home for the new season:

Fresh Scents

As the weather warms up and flowers begin to bloom, it's the perfect time to fill your home with the sweet scents of spring. By incorporating scent into your space, you can instantly create a calming and rejuvenating atmosphere that will make you feel refreshed.

Essential oil diffusers are one of the most natural ways to add a scent boost to your space. Not only do they give off beautiful aromas, essential oils are known to have great healing benefits and can calm the mind and even boost concentration. One of our favorite diffusers is the Oceania Aroma by Zen. This elegant diffuser looks stylish and sits well in a wide range of schemes. It also emits a soft light, creating a relaxing ambiance. Our favorite scents for the season include Orange Blossom & Neroli and Jasmine & Bergamot.

Why not romanticize your spring routine with new candles and room sprays? Not only are they another great way to introduce fresh aromas into your space, they also double as chic decor. Capturing nature's best scents, we recommend the Flora Mini collection from Boy Smells. With aromas ranging from sage and rose to orange blossom and jasmine, they’re guaranteed to bring the outdoors in. They’ve also just launched room sprays for those who want an instant scent kick. 

Inspiring Artwork

As spring is a time of renewal and growth, another way to freshen up your space is by updating your walls with art that makes you feel inspired and motivated. Artwork has the power to inject a fresh source of energy into a room and this shouldn’t be overlooked. 

Gradients are everywhere. We love this piece from Theo Pinto, who creates breathtaking works of art inspired by the beauty of nature. The sole use of color leaves them open to interpretation, allowing personal connections with the pieces to be formed. Sunshine on Fish’s Skin features an inviting pink migrating into a cool yellow. Evoking a plethora of emotions unique for every viewer. 

Inject some vivid fun with Sandra Poliakov’s punchy prints. Based in Budapest and inspired by still life and bright colors, Poliakov’s prints will brighten up any room this season. From eccentric portraits to bright flowers. Poliakov’s work is connected by her fruitful eye for color and signature free flowing drawing style. Both individually bold and perfect paired together, you can style these in any way that suits you. We imagine them amongst a colorful gallery wall, paired with a minimalistic backdrop. 

New Glassware

If you’ve been looking for a reason to experiment with colorful glassware, then now is the perfect time! Whether it's a unique pattern or bold hue, adding some eye-catching tableware to your setting can instantly elevate your dining experience and introduce some refreshing colors for the new season. 

Maison Balzac’s Pomponette hand made vase is the perfect mixture of elegance and fun. Designed to be used in any room, its unique, colorful bubbles add a whimsical twist to its classic shape. Be sure to check out their whole tableware collection to get an abundance of ideas for your next dinner party.

If you’re a pattern lover, then you’ll love the Lacey Highball glass from Anthropologie. Available in two zingy shades, it will be your go-to glass this spring. Its fruity motifs will get you in the mood for summer and when not in use, add a pop of color to your shelves and cabinetry. 

A Lick of Paint

Painting your walls with lighter and brighter colors is a great way to embrace warmer weather. You can choose to update your entire space or just focus on a small area. Either way, it's a simple and effortless update that can have a significant impact on the overall feel of your home.

36 hours in Marrakesh from Backdrop is the perfect shade to welcome spring. We can imagine this earthy tone in any setting that could benefit from its calming effects. Wrap yourself in warmth and paint every wall or consider updating a piece of furniture with its pink power. 

Another beautiful shade from Backdrop: Gin Blossoms, deserves a place on your walls this season. This shade is truly heavenly when the sun hits its surface, exuding calmness and serenity. Unexpectedly versatile, you can pair this hue with light neutrals and sultry darks. Uplift any environment by painting the ceiling, or simply coat your doors for a splash of color.

Beautiful Blooms

Nothing says spring quite like fresh flowers. Incorporating floral arrangements into your home can instantly brighten up your space and add a touch of natural beauty. Whether it's a simple bouquet of daffodils or a more intricate arrangement, flowers are an essential in creating an inviting atmosphere.

A great way to embrace spring is to subscribe to a flower subscription service. With in season flowers delivered to your door every month, you never have to remember to buy fresh flowers. Keeping your rooms in bloom guarantees to give your space that spring feeling and even better, adds a refreshing sweet scent. Some flower subscription services we love are Bloom & Wild and Freddies Flowers. These brands also allow you to send their flowers as a one-off gift.

 

Mudurban Flowers is a haven for those who appreciate dried flowers. Made from a selection of carefully chosen flowers and grasses, each bouquet is unique and long-lasting and you can even customize your own. These beautiful arrangements can be displayed in a vase or hung on a wall to add a sprinkle of spring to any room. Plus, they can last up to three years! Making it a more mindful choice.
