How to Give Your Home a Spring Makeover

How to Give Your Home a Spring Makeover

This is a collaborative post

With the impending arrival of spring, it is the perfect time to start thinking about fresh new beginnings. Spring tends to be the time of year when people update their wardrobe, declutter their home, freshen up their garden and embrace new beginnings. It’s also a popular time to perform a home makeover. Whether your house just needs a few small décor touches or major updates, there are many ways you can give your home a spring makeover.

Bring In Trending Pops of Colour

If you want to change up the colour palette in the house but aren’t prepared to re-paint every room, a simple solution is to use trending pops of colour. This will make the space appear brand new with minimal effort and work. If you have a neutral colour palette, this tip works especially well because you won’t be limited in your choice of colours. Some of the trending pops of colour for 2022 include:

• Periwinkle
• Soft neutral green
• Cool silver-green
• Deep teal
• Blue with neutral undertones
• Blue with green undertones
• Peach

You don’t need to splatter the pops of colour all over the room; instead, you should place them strategically. A great way to do this is by using throw pillows, throw blankets, an area rug, décor pieces, slipcovers for furniture and so forth. This will also make it possible for you to switch to another pop of colour later in the year if you choose.

Create Your Own Coffee Table Book

You’ve probably heard of a coffee table book. These are meant to be books you can leave on a table that are interesting from a visual and content standpoint. The idea is that it catches the eye of guests. It can also act as a conversation starter, or you can leave it open to select pages as part of the décor. However, rather than purchase a coffee table book, why not make one?

Photo albums and photo books can act as the perfect item to leave out for all to enjoy. Photobox makes it possible for people to create personalized photo albums and photo books that look and feel professional. They are perfect for leaving on display for all to enjoy. The standard hardcover book comes in a variety of different iterations, and you can fill them with all your special memories.

This tip falls into the small décor touches so it’s easy on the budget yet it delivers maximum results.

Make a Bold Move with a Statement Wall

If you’re ready for a bold design move, a statement wall could be perfect. This means that you highlight one wall in a room, drawing attention to it. This can be done by painting it a different colour or adding wallpaper, architectural features, wall hangings, mirrors and anything else that makes the wall unique. To create maximum impact value, the wall should have little to no furniture against it.

Brand New Flooring Changes the Feel of the Home

Not every update is small and budget-friendly, since there are bigger updates that you can also embrace as part of your spring makeover project. Flooring is something that often gets overlooked in a home, yet it plays a huge part in the design. Ask yourself when was the last time you laid new flooring? Does it look dated? Does it have stains that you can’t remove? Does it work with the rest of the décor? Even if you choose to just update one room, you can look at it as a start and slowly work your way through the rest of the house as your time and budget allow.

Did you know that by laying new flooring, you can make everything else in the room also feel fresh and new? This will be the case if you choose to change the style of flooring; for example, you can remove the carpeting and put down hardwood instead.

Don’t Forget the Back Garden

The final tip is to give attention to your back garden. If you plan on spending any time outdoors, whether on your own or entertaining family and friends, then it’s worth it to put time and money into updating the space. Here are some of the ways you can give your back garden a spring makeover:

• Update the outdoor furniture
• Purchase new outdoor dishes
• Purchase new outdoor cushions and use them as pops of colour
• Invest in an umbrella or awning (if the space allows), so you can have shade when wanted
• Use over-sized flower planters/containers and create your arrangements
• Prune the garden
• Start a small patch with flowers, herbs, or vegetables, and grow your own garlic for a beautiful and practical touch to the garden
• Install outdoor lighting

The goal should be to create an oasis-like vibe that you can use as a retreat.

By using these tips, you’ll be able to freshen up the interior and exterior of your home in time for spring.
