Spring is the season of new life and renewal, so it’s the perfect time to refresh your home. You don’t have to spend much to give your home a beautiful spring look that lasts through summer. If you’re after some styling inspiration, here are 10 easy ways to embrace the new season and give your home an affordable spring makeover.
Before you update your décor for spring, declutter and get organised first. Work on one room at a time so it doesn’t feel overwhelming, and take your time doing it properly. Streamline your wardrobe, put away winter gear, and see what’s been quietly cluttering your home. A change of season is a great time to step back and look at what’s working in your space. Rattan baskets are a simple way to add contemporary storage, and a large woven basket is perfect for everything from throws to dog toys in your living area, while still looking stylish.
If decluttering feels like a big job, this is a great place to start. Find 12 items to throw away, 12 to donate, and 12 to put back in their proper place. It’s a simple way to organise 36 things in one go, and if you make it a habit, your home stays spick and span all season.
Make your guests smile every time they arrive. Swap your doormat for a bright, cheerful one with a welcoming message or colourful design. You’ll find a huge range at your local hardware store, homewares retailer, or even Target and Kmart.
Fresh flowers are what spring is all about. A bunch of freshly picked blooms or lush green leaves is a simple, inexpensive way to bring spring into every room of your home, even the bathroom. If you love greenery, add some indoor plants for an instant lush, fresh feel, just make sure you choose the right plants for your lighting so they thrive.
A fun, free way to freshen up your home is to think about what you already have and how you can reuse it or move it somewhere new. Recycling and repurposing furniture, artwork, cushions and ornaments is a great trend to get behind. Check your cupboards for vases and other pieces that can help create a fresh spring feel, all without spending a cent.
Embrace spring with bold botanicals, bright colours, lush greens and fabulous florals to give your home a boost. Add spring-inspired accessories like ceramics, throws, cushions and towels, or swap a neutral rug for something brighter as an easy way to bring in colour.
Looking for a makeover you can pull off in a few hours? Simply changing your cushions and throws gives an instant spring boost with minimal effort. Layering whites and pale pinks is a stylish way to add colour while keeping your space neutral, and pastel tones like light blue, pink, pale green and lavender are classic spring choices that echo the colours of nature.
A simple way to update your space for spring is to swap heavy textiles for lightweight fabrics. Put away the heavy throws and cable knit blankets, and bring in lighter fabrics like cotton and linen instead.
Changing the artwork in your home can quickly make it feel fresh and updated. Why not print and frame some of your favourite travel photos? Travel photography looks great and adds a lovely personal touch.
Easy and completely free, moving your furniture around can have a huge impact on the look and feel of your home. All it takes is a little imagination, some muscle, and maybe a helper. Even without moving the larger pieces like your sofa, shifting side tables, accent chairs and the angle of your coffee table can make a real difference.
If you’d like to see spring styling done well, visiting a Hallmark Homes display centre is a great place to start. Beautifully styled for the South East Queensland lifestyle, our display homes show how these kinds of spring decorating ideas come together in a real home, from cushion layering through to fresh greenery and lighter fabrics. Our stylists are always on top of the latest trends, and they create interiors that work brilliantly alongside our range of home designs. If you can’t make it to a display centre in person, our virtual tours are a great way to get the same styling inspiration from home.
You’ll find plenty more ideas to spark your imagination in our Inspiration Gallery, with styling inspiration for the kitchen, dining, living room, bedrooms and bathroom, plus ways to make the most of your alfresco space.
