As winter retreats and the days grow longer, spring brings a much-needed breath of fresh air – literally and stylistically. It's the perfect time to shake off the heaviness of winter décor and welcome the light, vibrant energy that comes with blooming flowers, sunshine, and a renewed sense of life.

Whether you're ready for a full refresh or just want a few seasonal touches, here are 10 ways to update your home interior to embrace spring:

1. Swap out heavy textiles

Spring is all about light and airy vibes. Put away thick wool throws, velvet pillow covers, and chunky knit blankets. Replace them with linen, cotton, or light fabrics in soft pastels, crisp whites, or botanical prints.

2. Add fresh florals & greenery

Nothing says spring quite like flowers. Treat yourself to fresh-cut blooms – tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, or cherry blossom branches are seasonal favourites. Don’t forget potted plants like ferns, ivy, or peace lilies for long-lasting greenery.

3. Embrace a softer colour palette

Think blush pink, mint green, and butter yellow. You don’t have to repaint the entire room – just introduce these colours through accessories like vases, pillows, rugs, or artwork.

4. Refresh your hallway

Spring is the season of coming and going, walks in the park, brunch dates, and outdoor adventures. Make your hallway feel fresh with a new doormat, a bowl for sunglasses, and a vase of seasonal flowers.

5. Switch up your scents

Say goodbye to warm, spicy winter candles and welcome fresh, clean scents. Think citrus, fresh linen, or jasmine. Scent has a powerful effect on mood and seasonal atmosphere.

6. Lighten up the bedding

Time to pack away the winter bedding. Swap in cool cotton or breathable linen sheets, lighter blankets, and duvet covers in spring-inspired colours.

7. Declutter and simplify

Spring is synonymous with cleaning. Take it a step further and edit your décor. Clear surfaces, open up space, and let your rooms breathe. A few well-chosen accessories often have more impact than cluttered shelves.

8. Bring in natural light

Make the most of spring sunshine! Clean your windows, replace heavy drapes with sheer curtains, and rearrange furniture to let more light in. Reflective surfaces like mirrors or glass help bounce light around, making your home feel brighter.

9. Rotate seasonal accessories

Give your home a seasonal refresh by rotating your accessories. Swap out winter-themed items like pinecones, dark metals, or cosy textures, and bring out lighter, spring-inspired pieces – think pastel candles, glass bowls, colourful books, and nature-inspired objects.

10. Outdoor-inspired accents

If you don’t have a garden, bring a bit of the outdoors in. Use wicker baskets, rattan trays, terracotta pots, and natural wood accents to create that organic springtime feel.

Spring interior design is less about strict rules and more about creating a light, inviting space that makes you feel alive and at ease. It’s about refreshing what you already have and adding thoughtful touches that reflect the beauty of the season.

So open the windows, let in the breeze, and let your home bloom alongside the world outside.
