As winter fades and the days grow longer, it’s the perfect time to refresh your apartment home and welcome the energy of spring. Transitioning your decor doesn’t require a complete makeover—small, intentional changes can bring in brightness, color, and a renewed sense of space.

Lighten Up Your Linens

Shed the heavy blankets for lighter options! Winter decor often consists of thick, cozy materials like fleece, wool, and velvet, so as the season changes, lighten up your space with breathable fabrics.

Replacing heavy throw blankets with lightweight cotton or linen throws and dark, plush pillows for pastels or floral patterns instantly brightens up your space. For even more light, switch to sheer curtains to invite spring in!

Bloom into Spring Florals

One of the easiest ways to embrace spring is by adding fresh plants and flowers to your home! Some of my favorite spring flowers are fresh tulips, daffodils, or lilies because they bring bright color and freshness into your home. For customizable floral arrangements, Trader Joe’s can be a great stop since they offer numerous different florals to DIY your next bouquet!

Not a fan of flowers? Incorporating potted plants like snake plants, pothos, or succulents bring in a touch of green in a more sustainable way.

Brighten Your Color Palette

Spring is all about light and uplifting colors! Shift away from deep winter hues and bring in soft, warm, and cheerful tones to change up your vibe.

The best part about spring palettes is that there are so many to choose from! Some popular shades are white, blush, pastel yellow, or sage green.

The upgrade doesn’t have to stop there! Incorporate pastel or floral accent pieces such as table runners, dish towels, or decorative trays throughout your home for a consistent palette.

Shift Your Seasonal Scents

Sense of smell is a powerful way to transition your space from winter to spring! Say goodbye to wintery pine or cinnamon candles and welcome fresh scents like lavender, citrus, or jasmine. Candles or essential oil diffusers can go a long way to shift your aesthetic with spring-inspired blends!

You can also embrace the spring right outside your door by opening windows regularly to let in and circulate fresh air.

Let Light in

Nothing says spring like bright, sunlit spaces! Make sure to keep windows clean and blinds open to maximize sunlight. You can also use mirrors strategically to reflect light and make your space feel larger.

Transitioning your apartment home from winter to spring is all about embracing light, color, and fresh energy. Start with small changes, and before you know it, your home will be a bright and cheerful oasis ready for the season ahead!
