Refresh Your Home For Spring
Category Lifestyle
Welcome springtime into your home. Spring is clearly the most lovable of the four seasons. Let the natural light shine through into your home - it's an instant mood booster.
Refresh your home with the following tips:
- There's always a selection of trends that can be enjoyed by everyone. Colorful accessories are an easy and affordable update. Add a bowl of lemons or bunch of fresh seasonal flowers to a room. One can also change your candles for a fresh breezy laundry scent or something citrusy.
- Botanical and floral prints continue to be a favorite, and the humble pineapple is this season's trendy motif. Green upholstery is also set to become a key trend, particularly plush velvet in eye-catching shades of forest green, pine and emerald.
- Capture the subtle hues of spring with a fresh coat of paint.
- Plants inside your home can have plenty of health benefits, so add some foliage and watch spring bloom indoors. It’s an easy and low-maintenance way to add a freshness to a room without any fuss.
- Steam clean the carpets as dust is collected over the winter months, particularly under the beds.
- Flip your mattress – this should be done every 6 months or so.
- Reduce clutter in your wardrobes - store all those winter clothing items away. Box it, bag it up, sell it, or donate it.
- Clean the filters in your air-conditioning units and vacuum cleaner.
- Give your bathrooms a good spring clean - take off the toilet seat and apply a paste of baking soda and water to the inside and outside of the toilet, particularly under the rim.
- In the kitchen use a lemon half dipped in baking soda to scrub your stovetop, oven door, countertops, and refrigerator top. Citrus is a natural degreaser, and abrasive baking soda will scrub the grime away.
- Replace the doormat with a new one.
Refresh and revitalize!
