Spring is right around the corner, and you know what that means—warmer days, fresh air, and the perfect excuse to shake off the winter blues. There’s something about the change in seasons that makes you want to refresh everything, from your wardrobe to your home. But before you start dreaming about flowers blooming and Sunday brunches on the patio, let’s talk about how to get your home ready for spring.
1. Declutter Like You Mean It
You don’t need to wait for “spring cleaning” to start tossing out the things you don’t use. Winter tends to make us a little too cozy with clutter—those extra blankets, holiday decorations that never made it back to storage, and random stuff you “might need one day” (but let’s be real, you won’t).
Start with one area at a time:
✔ The closet – If you haven’t worn it in a year, donate it.
✔ The kitchen – Check expiration dates and clear out the fridge and pantry.
✔ The entryway – Winter boots and heavy coats can be packed away soon!
Less clutter = less stress.
2. Deep Clean Without the Overwhelm
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to mean scrubbing every inch of your home in one weekend. Break it up! Do windows one day, baseboards the next, and suddenly, your house looks brand new without you feeling exhausted.
Focus on these often-forgotten spots:
🧼 Ceiling fans (they’ve been collecting dust all winter!)
🧼 Window sills and screens (for that fresh spring breeze)
🧼 Under furniture (you might find that missing sock from last year)
3. Bring in the Freshness
Now that you’ve cleared things out and cleaned up, it’s time to add life back into your space! Swap out those heavy winter curtains for something light and airy. Open the windows, let the sunshine in, and maybe grab a new houseplant or two.
And if you’re into scents, try switching from winter’s cinnamon and vanilla to citrus, lavender, or fresh linen. It instantly makes your home feel more like spring.
4. Prep Your Outdoor Space
Spring means spending more time outside, so don’t forget about your yard, balcony, or patio. Sweep off the winter debris, wipe down outdoor furniture, and check if your garden or plants need a little love. If you’ve got a lawn, now’s the time to start thinking about fertilizing and getting it back in shape.
Pro tip: Adding string lights or lanterns can make even the smallest outdoor space feel cozy and inviting.
5. Make Small, Happy Changes
You don’t have to do a full home makeover to feel a difference. Simple things like:
🌼 Swapping out dark throw pillows for brighter colors
🌼 Changing up your bedding to something light and breathable
🌼 Adding a spring-inspired wreath to your front door
It’s the little touches that make your home feel fresh and new.
Ready for Spring?
Getting your home ready for spring doesn’t have to be a huge, overwhelming project. A little decluttering, some deep cleaning, and a few fresh touches can make your space feel brand new. And honestly, there’s no better feeling than a clean, refreshed home with the windows open and a cool breeze coming in.
