Do you feel overwhelmed by the thought of spring decorating? Are you drowning in plastic storage bins and a storage mess? What if I told that there is a way to welcome the spring without the hassles of seasonal storage? Spring doesn’t mean unpacking boxes and buying temporary decor. It’s all about making small changes that will enhance your life.
Let’s face it: who hasn’t felt a mixture of excitement and overwhelm as they stared at the aisles of spring décor? What if I told you that you could create an atmosphere of spring by making beautiful, functional changes that will last beyond the season. It’s all about choosing items you can use year-round, not just during a particular month.
When was the last time that you felt truly connected with your space? I swapped out my winter coats with watering cans to remind myself that spring was coming, even if it wasn’t a perfect day. These watering cans represent growth and renewal.
Here’s the deal. I’d rather spend my money on a vintage watering jug that I can use every day, than a fake wreath I have to store away for 10 months. I’m not the only one. Many people are adopting the idea of a “356-day décor” — items that bring joy and function throughout the year.
How can you begin? Start with small swaps.
- Replace heavy winter linens by lighter, spring-colored fabrics.
Decorate with pretty watering cans and plant misters.
Try making lavender sugar or lighting spring-scented candle.
Create a spring music playlist and let the energy fill your home.
Plan a garden. Even if it is just a few pots in your balcony, this will help you to get started.
Why stop with decor? Spring can be the catalyst for new adventures. Try visiting a botanical gardens, downloading a birdcalling app, or making lemon bread. These activities aren’t just a way to pass time, but also a way to bring spring into your life.
Why not try something new this year? Spring is more than a season. It’s a way of thinking. By focusing on the experiences rather than the things, you are not only decorating your home but enriching your own life.
