| How to Freshen up Your Home for Spring |
|
|
 |
- Although it is still a little cold, tackling some of the bigger tasks could be a start to your spring clean. Jobs like cleaning out the garage, the laundry cupboards, kitchen drawers and cupboards or pantry– throw out old food, give away tins to charity, and cleaning out the fridge are all ways to make your home feel clean and fresh for Spring. Wash everything with a mild soapy solution.
- Curtains, carpets, upholstery and windows could benefit from a professional clean.
- Now is a good time to declutter your wardrobes and clean the shelves ready for your spring/summer wardrobe. Put a few drops of lavender on a cloth and wipe over the shelves. Not only will it smell good, but it will deter moths.
- Airing out quilts and rugs to freshen them and even airing your mattress near an open window will add freshness. This would be a good time to rotate the matress to let it wear evenly.
- Pack some of the heavier blankets and throws and bring out the lighter bedding. There is nothing fresher than crisp white sheets and pretty coloured cushions and throws (try lime green for a spring-like feel). Silky throws on the end of the bed add a statement. Cotton throws in the living areas still add some warmth on a cold evening.
- Clean outdoor furniture. Maybe a coat of paint to pretty up some pots will brighten a patio or deck. A few summery cushions add a touch of comfort to your outdoor living space.
- Pots of home grown vegetables and some potted fruit trees as well as potted blooms of roses and petunias give you the feeling of Spring!
- Blossoms are out now – fill tall vases with sprigs of peach and apple blossoms for your living rooms.
- Fill bowls with lemons and limes for a very fresh accessory.
- Colours to use are the citrus colours – lemon, lime, orange and also pinks and mauves. Team these up with white and everything will feel fresh.
