Spring is an amazing time of year. The seasons are shifting and suddenly it’s warm and light out. Trees are bright green, flowers are bursting into bloom around you, and Winter seems like a dim, dark memory.
It’s also the perfect time for a fresh start! From healthy living challenges to Spring cleaning, it’s a great time to tackle projects and refresh your living space.
Here are few recommendations to make your home Spring-ready!

No. 1: Clear Things Out
You can take this to different levels depending on where you’re at right now. If a full clear out of your home seems like an impossible pipe dream, just start small. Try going through your junk drawer. We all have them, and it’s a great place to start. If you’re like me and try to keep things tidy with semi-regular clear outs, now it’s time for the big one.

No. 2: Freshen Up Your Home
I always crave change in the Spring. I want something new to visually reflect that things are changing. Sometimes that means a new piece of furniture or art, sometimes that means rearranging existing pieces in the space, and sometimes it means swapping things from room-to-room. Regardless of how much I change, or spend, walking into a room and having something new and different greet me, is a great Spring feeling.
Here are few easy, and inexpensive, ways to spruce things up:
No. 3: Embrace Fragrance
Scent is very powerful. A whiff of something can conjure up memories long forgotten. The smell of your grandma’s perfume, the smell of your favorite dinner as a child, the smell of freshly cut grass and honeysuckles… It can change your mood immediately.
So why not apply that to your home. Home fragrances can be a great way to promote relaxation and make your home welcoming the second someone walks in?
Flowers, diffusers, and candles are all great ways to introduce a beautiful, subtle fragrance to your home. I for one love fresh, bright smells this time of year and favor citrus-based products in the Spring. See a few favorites below:
- Candles: Nest Grapefruit, Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin, Sand & Fog Lemon Bergamot, Voluspa Lemon Coco Cloche, and Archipelago Botanicals Pineapple Ginger
- Oil Diffusers: I adore my PureSpa Diffuser and my favorite essential oils for Springtime are orange blossom, lemon, lemongrass, eucalyptus, and peppermint
- Stick Diffusers: Liquidless diffuser from Nest, Voluspa Crisp Champagne, Archipelago Botanicals Mango Tangerine, and Antica Farmacista Grapefruit
What’s YOUR favorite way to freshen things up for Spring?
