5 easy spring room refresh ideas

*This post is in partnership with Yankee Candle*

After Christmas is over, and the tree comes down, and the lights go away, our house always feels a little empty. It’s nice for about 3 days after all of the holiday decor, but slowly I start filling up the space all over again so it feels more cozy and less cold. Extra pillows, blankets, you know… comfort stuff. Fast forward a few weeks later, then spring starts to arrive and I get a big surge to clean out and give my room a quick room refresh. Nothing major, just five quick things I do to make my home feel lighter and welcome spring.

Five great tips for freshening up a room that are so easy you can do them in just a few minutes!

  1. Clean up the surfaces. I don’t mean completely wiping everything out (because, let’s face it, accessories are a girl’s best friend.) I don’t know about you, but things tend to pile up if I’m not careful, but taking just a couple of minutes to clear off the papers and legos that linger around helps things feel fresher fast!
  2. Five great tips for freshening up a room that are so easy you can do them in just a few minutes!Make a move. Swapping out a side table from another room or moving a bookshelf to a different spot can bring a new twist to a space that might seem stale if it’s been a while since you last rearranged.
  3. Five great tips for freshening up a room that are so easy you can do them in just a few minutes!Toss a few pillows. This one is a bit tricky – I’m a pillow hoarder. If I’m not careful, there will be a dozen pillows piled up on my couch. So many, in fact, that you have to move them to actually sit down. But once I take most of them away, my room feels instantly lighter. Call it couch decluttering. I may be the only guilty party – but this one is a big piece of making my space feel lighter for spring.
  4. Five great tips for freshening up a room that are so easy you can do them in just a few minutes!Add fresh flowers. I know… all the others have been about taking away, but there’s just something so nice about a simple bouquet of fresh flowers. I love buying a bunch of hydrangeas at the grocery store, but I’ve used a lot of buttercups, forsythia branches, or whatever else I could get my hands on from my own yard. Flowers just say spring, don’t you think?
  5. Five great tips for freshening up a room that are so easy you can do them in just a few minutes!Change out the candles. Personally, I love a good Yankee Candle. Each season I’m always ready to see the new scents, and this season includes: Catching Rays, Flowers in the Sun, Line Dried Cotton, Strawberry Lemon Ice, April Showers, Pink Peony, Citron, White Tea, and Carefree (shown above.) Because I use more holiday related scents in the winter, I love bringing out the fresher, cleaner scents for spring. Plus it’s kinda like getting the smell of deep spring cleaning, but only in candle form 🙂

And that’s it! So simple, yet I find that each time I do these five simple things my room feels so much lighter.

    Another thing I do to “Springerize” ( Not sure if thats a word…it is now! I open all the windows and let fresh air in. I usually wait til we have one of those unusually warm days…it sure makes the house feel fresh.
