The sun is out, the days are longer and trees are in bud. Spring has officially sprung. With this renewed sense of vitality and optimism, now is the perfect time to treat your home to a little TLC in the form of an interior spring refresh. While you might shudder at the thought of a ‘spring refresh’ meaning hours spent painting, scrubbing and deep cleaning, we’re here to reassure you that it could just mean switching up your statement accessories or looking at your space from a different perspective. Below, we’ve listed 20 budget-friendly ways to give your home a springtime spruce-up.

From bright pops of colour to simple decluttering tricks, small changes can make a big impact. Get ready to refresh, revive, and welcome the season with these 20 easy spring home updates

1. Reinvigorate your scatter cushion display

Scatter cushions are a fantastic way to introduce an accent colour alongside texture and additional comfort. Whether you opt for a neutral, boho-Scandi style, deep earthen shade or a plush velvet option, a new cushion (or five) will instantly transform the way your space feels and looks.

2. Bring some joy to your front door or porch

How your home feels starts at the front door. Add a homemade wreath with vibrant colours or pastels, switch out your doormat for a new one, add potted plants on either side of your entrance or add some solar-powered lights to make the lighter evenings feel even more magical.

3. Clean your blinds or curtains

The light changes dramatically in spring. Days get longer, evenings get lighter and your home tends to be filled with much more natural light. To make the most of this and really feel the benefit of it, now is the time to dust your Venetian blinds and take down any curtains for washing. While it’s a job we all hate, the physical and mental differences afterward will be noticeable and well worth it.

4. Swap out your daily essentials

Spring is a celebration of many things, new beginnings being one of them. Embrace this by choosing new daily essentials like glassware or crockery. Being happy in your home is about embracing the small, magical moments and daily rituals, which is why getting that new mug which makes you smile is most definitely worth it.

5. Get inspired by an outdoor palette

Bringing in earthen and inspiring outdoor hues like blue, green and soft neutrals incorporates the feel of the great outdoors. It’s a well-known fact that admiring things like the wide blue sky or a glittering ocean, as well as spending time in green spaces like forests and fields, is beneficial to both our nervous systems and mental health. It certainly can’t hurt to try and replicate that effect in our own homes! Whether you do this through art, furniture or something more sensory like smell and sound - the options are endless.

6. Invest in some garden furniture

The warmer weather and longer daylight hours can only mean one thing - more time spent outside. The season of bank holidays and BBQs is also just around the corner, which makes it a great time to make your garden more comfortable and stylish with design-led yet durable outdoor furniture. 

7. Indulge in some new bedding

Whether you’re a winter duvet warrior or you stick to the same comfortable tog all year round, spring is often a time for swapping out bedding and other linens. What better reason than this to treat yourself to some new breathable bed linen? From crisp, waffle-textured whites to super-soft washed options, our bedding collection features 100% cotton composition and a choice of styles and sizes.

8. Deep clean one neglected space

Rather than overwhelm yourself by attempting to scrub every nook and cranny in your home, opt instead to prioritise the one, most-neglected space. Whether that's scrubbing the grout lines in your bathroom or giving the oven a long-overdue deep clean, if you keep the tasks small and manageable we promise you’ll feel much better for it afterwards!

9. Bring in the floral fragrances

We know, we know. Florals, for spring? Groundbreaking. However, floral scents are a known mood-booster, particularly fragrances of lavender, rosemary and jasmine. You don’t have to invest in fancy room sprays or expensive candles to do this - you can even do it by switching up your fabric conditioner for a dreamy laundry scent, choosing botanical hand soaps and even looking for jasmine-based body wash when it comes to a toiletries shop.

10. Add or rearrange your ambient lighting

With the seasonal shift in light, you might find different areas of your home are more or less in need of some ambient lighting when evening arrives. You could choose to switch up your lampshades in the bedrooms for an easy, quick makeover, or add new floorlamps and table lamps to spaces that would benefit from a lustrous golden glow.

11. Swap out your towels

An important part of adulting is knowing when to let go of your towels. If that threadbare throwback is no longer cutting it, it’s time to treat yourself to some comfortable cotton bath sheets that will make your everyday habits feel luxurious. For that spa-like experience, opt for something above 600 GSM, which will mean your towel is thicker, heavier and more absorbent. 

12. Change artwork and photographs

If you have a gallery wall or console table with a collection of frames, swapping them out for alternative photos, artworks and postcards is a cheap and quick way to refresh your home for spring. It can also serve as a helpful method of incorporating a new accent colour in a certain room by picking out artworks with the same shades in. 

13. Dust the neglected spaces

Skirting boards, door frames and air vents - we’re looking at you. These features of our home are constantly in use or being observed and yet most people rarely clean them. Spring is a great time to finally pull out the duster and spend a quick 30 minutes running it along all the architraving - you’ll be surprised at how fresh your home feels afterwards. 

14. Weed the garden

Yep, another job that the majority of us hate. However, spring is an incredibly important time to get on top of the weeding because the combination of sunny days, rainy spells and warmer temperatures is a catalyst for weed growth. By blitzing the weeds now, your garden maintenance throughout summer will be a whole lot easier. 

15. Add small touches of bold colour

If you love vibrant shades but don’t want to commit to painting an entire feature wall or room, you can choose instead to add smaller accents of your favourite hue for little pops of joy throughout the home. Think easy accessories like blankets, cushions, photo frames and vases & sculptures.

16. Bring in elements of your favourite place

As the weather gets warmer, we all begin to think about our favourite places to spend time. Whether that's the beach, the forest, the city or even your favourite cafe - you can incorporate elements of this place into your home for an uplifting energy inkeeping with spring. Channel this via artwork, photography, mementos or colour schemes. 

17. Declutter the kitchen counter

Decluttering has the power to change the way you work, live and enjoy your daily routine. By finally organising the built-up debris of receipts, chargers, paperwork and other possessions that litter your kitchen, you’ll make the space feel lighter and brighter and actually enjoy being in your kitchen again.

18. Organise your clothes 

Similar to switching up your bedding, you might want to sort through your winter, summer and interseason outfits to make space in your wardrobe and drawers. Not only is this a great way to get organised, but it might also mean you find some unworn clothes that you could donate or sell - win win! 

19. Look for new spaces to enjoy the lighter nights

The change of evening light is not only a great excuse to spend more time outdoors, but indoors too! With the sun being higher in the sky, it might be a great season for sitting in the window seat with a riveting read or enjoying quiet moments with a coffee in the warm morning sun. While not strictly a home refresh tip, enjoying the natural light will allow you to appreciate your home from a new perspective.

20. Introduce playful shapes, silhouettes and textures

Scalloped-edge cushions, spindle accent pieces and fluffy rugs or furniture pieces (like this stunning faux fur accent chair) help break up straight lines and add a sense of homely comfort to an interior. A well-balanced room will have a combination of accent pieces, colour, texture and calming negative spaces to offset everything that’s going on.
