5 Simple Ways to Refresh Your Home for Spring

Spring is all about new beginnings – when the flowers start to bloom, the weather warms up and the dark days get lighter. So, it’s only natural that you want to reflect the new life of spring in your home. Most people do that with a session of spring cleaning and decluttering, topped off with a bunch of daffodils for good measure

But what if you want to go a step further to really refresh your home? It’s easy! Read on for simple, small-scale decorating ideas that can refresh your home without major disruption.

1. Add some easy colour

Adding a feature wall is now a well-established decorating trick, whatever the season. Also known as a Feature Wall, it provides a new look in a room without the need to completely redecorate – or move around quite as much furniture.

For a springtime transformation, consider soft pastel shades or muted versions of bolder colours. These sorts of shades fit in well with existing neutral toned schemes and are perfect for an uplifting spring feel.

Some of our favourites include calming Lilac Hue, light lavender Parma Violet, aqua toned Village Fayre and muted pink shown below Last Dance…

2. Update half your kitchen!

We’ve covered the joys of painting one wall instead of four. So, how about just doing half a job in your kitchen?

If your décor is in decent condition but you really want to refresh your space quickly and with minimal fuss, consider a half and half project. This is where you paint part way up (or down) your walls – or cupboards. It’s a great way to change things up by adding colour in a simple but positive way.

4. Brighten up your Outdoor Furniture 

Take away the furniture covers and get cracking on the outdoor furniture! you can simply complete a refresh using any of our Outdoor Hues, and get summer ready or you can go BOLD! and use our wonderul shade Kiss Me Sloely;
