Now that it is officially March, spring is right around the corner (at least we hope so…)! The days are getting longer, the weather is warming up. Go above and beyond with your spring cleaning this year. Here are some tips to completely refresh your space!
1. Add Some Color
Pick out new pillow covers for accent pillows, a new comforter for your bed, a new rug, or a fun wallpaper for a bathroom accent wall. Store your cold-weather accents away, and let them debut again come fall. This will make your home feel exciting every season for a low cost.
2. Replace Pictures in Frames
Reminisce and pick out your favorite pictures from the last year. Repurpose the frames you already have. Pro tip - choose pictures with brighter colors for a sense of energy, joy and warmth. Displaying pictures of yourself not your style? Get inspired with some dried flowers in floating frames, macrame art, or vintage botanical prints on our Wall Art Pinterest board!
3. Add Greenery!
Want to instantly “Spring-ify” a room? Add plants! Whether the greenery is real or faux, it will bring your space much needed life. Stop by Mod Gen downtown Milwaukee. They can help you pick the perfect plant for every room in your house, from your windowless bathroom to your sunroom.
4. Open the Windows and Deep Clean
Not fun, but definitely needed. That first warm day (you know which one), push your windows open wide and get to cleaning! Scrub those areas that didn’t get much attention this winter, and definitely do not forget the windows. Double duty - the cool air will refresh your room and your brain space. Cherry on the top? Add a diffuser in a scent you love to keep your home smelling fresh all season. Oh, and a post-clean dance party is a must!
5. PURGE!
We collect things in the cold winter months that we think may be of use later on. Go through your junk drawer, clean out under your bed, and get some storage shelving to organize your basement. Can’t decide if you want to keep or get rid of something? Ask if the item serves a purpose or brings you joy. If it doesn't, donate it!
So what are you waiting for? Head to Colder’s to find bright accents to add to refresh your space! We are confident you will feel like a new person in your like-new home.
