Are you craving a little more daylight like us? If your answer is yes, spring is not too far away! Soon the air will be buzzing with new life again. However, how can you change your home decor according to the season? Use this blog to prep your home for the end of winter and the beginning of warmer seasons.
1) Let in natural light: Your home can look very different in varying seasons because of the daylight factor. In the colder months, we all keep your home tightly insulated so that the cold draft stays outside. The upholstery is thicker and the floor is carpeted to avoid making any contact with the cold. However, spring and summer bring a breath of fresh air and vibrancy with their bloom. Put away the rugs and open the windows; rearranging your furniture in a manner that lets in the most amount of natural light throughout the day will brighten the entire vibe of the house!
2) Light upholstery and linens: While the winter and the festive season have upholstery to match in deep, rich colors, now is the time to pick lighter shades. White, off-white and cream would create a more airy vibe to your home, making the room seem larger. However, if you can’t risk having such light-colored upholstery, go for pastel colors that reflect the summer energy. This will set the tone for the season to come and energize all those who visit as well as give the residents a dose of much-needed brightness.
3) Outdoor furniture: If you have a lawn or backyard, we know that you can’t wait for the pleasure of spending your days outdoors. Clean up the weeds and dead leaves once the snow dissipates, and add more structure to the area by adding cedar outdoor furniture. Since the summers are safe for woodwork furniture to be outside, you can leave them out during the day and night for months without worrying about damage. Add a few benches to your porch and enjoy warm starlit nights.
4) Citrus diffuser: Home fragrances are underrated; they can change the entire energy of a room with just a small whiff. If you want to have your home smelling fresh like the bloom of spring, you can add a diffuser of citrus, citronella or a bright floral fragrance. There are natural essential oils that you can use to spread some positivity in your living space as well!
5) Wind chimes: Who doesn’t love to add a bit more cheer to the already cheery spring? We’ve been waiting for the spring of 2022 ever since the festivities ceased! The warm breeze can do your home wonders if you leave ample space for ventilation, and you can add a few accessories such as wind chimes to energize the Chi or Qi of your property. Depending on the direction, there are different materials that you can use to make a DIY wind chime or buy one.
Wrapping Up:
Setting the tone for spring and summer can just need a few changes here and there. We hope that these ideas brighten up your mood and helps you look forward for the beautiful months to come!
