Spring into action now to revitalize home interiors

-

Easter is the perfect time for a home décor re-fresh as we step into spring. The flowers begin to blossom, the sun begins to shine and there is a renewed positive feeling all around. Your interior is the perfect place to start introducin­g a pretty pastel colour palette and some eye-catching Easter decoration­s to bring character and joy to your space.

When it comes to brightenin­g our homes and celebratin­g, Easter is hard on the heels of Christmas.

Easter garlands have become a trend-setting home décor staple.

Elevate your kitchen shelves with a colourful Easter egg garland to add a subtle yet effective vibrancy to your space or hop on the bunny trend with a classicall­y charming Easter bunny and carrot garland.

How about a spring wreath to adorn your walls and doors?

This year, decorative wreaths will be a popular choice as their Easter design and spring touches will perfectly blend into your décor bringing the freshness of the outdoors into your home.

For an extra spring shine, wrap your wreath with warm white micro fairy lights.

One of the main spring trends is biophilic design – that is connecting a space to nature by maximising natural light and ventilatio­n, introducin­g plants and nature-inspired colours and materials.

The easiest way to introduce biophilic design into your home is with indoor plants and flowers.

Bursts of daffodils and tulips are cheap and cheerful and arranged nicely will brighten any space.

But before getting down to finer details prepare for the spring clean – clearing out clutter and dusting, vacuuming and polishing work wonders for the mind and body.

Tips for spring cleaning include ...

Make a schedule

What areas need the most work? Where do you skip during routine cleaning? Those are the best places to start.#

De-clutter

Studies show that a disorganis­ed home adds to your stress level.

Always work from top to bottom

Start from the ceiling down and do not forget walls and windows need attention too.
