There’s no doubt it’s felt like a long, cold winter. But as the weather starts to warm up and with clocks about to spring forward, this is the perfect time to head to FP and breathe some new life into your home. Here are some easy and effective ways to bring spring’s vibrant energy into your home.
Declutter and reorganise
Before you dive into new decor, begin by decluttering your living spaces. Spring cleaning is an annual tradition for a reason – removing unnecessary items from your home can instantly open up space and improve the overall atmosphere. Start with one room at a time, sorting through things like old magazines, unused kitchen gadgets and clothing that no longer fits.
Once you’ve decluttered, the fun comes organising it all! Invest in storage solutions like baskets, shelves, or boxes to keep your essentials neatly tucked away. Head to Homesense and Sostrene Grene for all sorts of stylish and practical storage options. A clutter-free home is a peaceful home, and spring is the perfect time to reset.
Lighter, brighter, airier
In true spring clean fashion, now is the time to pack away those big, cosy cushions and thick, fluffy throws, and bring in the lighter, brighter and airier fabrics.
You can still have cushions and draping fabrics – just brighter versions.
Try some of the new season rugs, cushions and throws in Marks and Spencer and for a real splash of colour opt for an indoor floral reef like the Pink Summer Floral Wreath in Next at £38.
Pastel pots and vibrant vases
This season is all about accessories – pots, vases, lamps – as long as they are fun, vibrant or to be completely bang on trend – pastel!
Spring is a time for soft, refreshing colors. If you’ve been living with deep, moody tones throughout winter, now is the perfect time to introduce light pastels or vibrant shades into your home’s colour palette. You don’t have to repaint entire rooms, just introduce a couple of accent pieces.
Fig and Fox have some pretty vases, in particular the blue and pink pastel Ombre Bud Vase at £6.50 which would look perfect on any coffee table. And at Typo checkout the pink, yellow and blue heart-shaped lamp – giving 80s summer vibes.
Scents check
Finally, this is the time of year when we throw open our windows and let some spring freshness back into our lives. One of the season’s trends is to bring the outside in, with indoor plants, floral patterns and vases full of flowers. But another way you can awaken your home, is through spring scents.
Yankee Candle has so many fragrances to choose from, but it’s Lemon Lavendar candle is spring and summer in a jar. At Bath & Body Works try the eye-catching Multi Daisy Wallflowers Fragrance Plug – delicious!
Whatever you do to ring in the seasonal changes, FP has something for everyone’s taste…and smell!
