Five ways to spruce up your home this spring

Want to refresh your home for spring? Here are five easy ways to welcome in a new season.

Spring is the perfect time for a home refresh.

As the days get longer and the sun shines a little brighter, there’s nothing like breathing new life into your space. After months of cosying up indoors, it’s time to shake off the winter blues and embrace a lighter, fresher atmosphere. From small decorative changes to more substantial updates, even the simplest tweaks can make a big difference.

A seasonal refresh doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Sometimes, all it takes is a few simple changes to completely transform the look and feel of your home. Whether it’s swapping out heavier fabrics for breezier materials, introducing invigorating scents or adding a pop of colour, spring is all about rejuvenation and renewal.

Bringing in elements inspired by nature, like fresh flowers, greenery and sunlight-enhancing décor, can make your space feel brighter and more inviting.

Whether you’re looking for a simple seasonal update or a full-blown interior transformation, here are five easy ways to give your home a fresh feel this spring.

1. Declutter and refresh your space

Spring cleaning isn’t just about dusting shelves, it’s about creating a space that feels light and airy. Start by decluttering areas that have accumulated excess items over the winter. Donate or recycle anything you no longer need, and organise what remains. A clutter-free space allows fresh air and light to flow more freely, instantly making your home feel more open and inviting.

2. Introduce a signature scent 

Nothing transforms a home quite like scent. The right fragrance can instantly uplift your mood and create a welcoming atmosphere. Max Benjamin’s Wall Fragrance Diffusers are a delightful sensory treat for any room. With six classic scents to choose from, you can elevate your space with an evocative, long-lasting fragrance experience that lasts up to 30 days with approximately eight hours of use each day.

Inspired by travel and nature, these luxurious scents bring a touch of the outdoors in, making them the perfect addition to your spring home refresh.

3. Incorporate lighter fabrics and textures

Say goodbye to heavy winter throws and swap in lighter, breathable fabrics. Linen and cotton are perfect for cushions, curtains and bedding during the warmer months. Consider soft pastel tones, floral patterns or crisp whites to create a serene and refreshing springtime aesthetic.

4. Bring the outdoors in with plants and fresh flowers

Nothing says spring like lush greenery and vibrant blooms. Houseplants not only enhance your décor but also improve indoor air quality. Opt for easy-care plants like snake plants, pothos or fiddle-leaf figs to add a touch of nature to your space. Fresh flowers in bright, cheerful colours can also make a beautiful statement on dining tables, coffee tables and entryways.

5. Refresh Your Walls with a Pop of Color

Spring is the perfect time to experiment with a fresh coat of paint or new wallpaper. Soft pastels, muted greens and warm neutrals are all trending this season and can instantly brighten up your space. If you’re not ready to commit to a full wall transformation, try adding colourful wall art or decorative mirrors to create a similar effect without the hassle of painting.

Max Benjamin’s wall fragrance diffusers are a fantastic way to elevate your space this spring. Enjoy a lasting fragrance experience for up to 30 days, based on approx eight hours of use each day. Shop at www.maxbenjamin.com and select retailers nationwide.
