Get your home ready for the arrival of Spring

The arrival of spring brings with it the rebirth of nature and with it a fresh and renewing energy. Therefore, it is the ideal time to refresh the decoration of our home and prepare it for the most colourful season of the year. In this article we present you some ideas to prepare your home for the arrival of spring.

Deep cleaning

Before you start decorating, it is important to do a thorough cleaning of the whole house. This task will allow you to remove dust, dirt and bad smells accumulated during the winter. Take the opportunity to clean windows and curtains, change bed linen and wash carpets and cushions. A clean and tidy house is the first step to enjoy a spring full of energy and vitality.

Flowers and plants

Spring is the time of year when plants and flowers start to bloom. A simple way to freshen up your home’s décor is to add plants and flowers to different areas of the house. You can place a bouquet of fresh flowers in the hallway, a vertical garden in the kitchen, or potted plants in the living room. Plants and flowers not only add colour and freshness to your décor, but also improve the air quality in your home.

Light and cheerful colours

Spring is the season for light and cheerful colours. Adding pastel shades such as pink, blue and yellow will help you create a relaxing and cheerful atmosphere in your home. You can introduce these shades into your décor through cushions, curtains, lamps and other accessories.

Natural textures

Natural textures are perfect for creating a relaxing and cosy atmosphere in your home. You can add cotton, linen or hemp fabrics to cushions, blankets and rugs. Natural fabrics bring freshness and a sense of well-being to any space.

Lightweight furniture

Spring is the time of year when we prefer to spend more time outdoors. That’s why it’s important to choose light and functional furniture that allows us to enjoy the season without having to worry about its care. You can opt for wicker chairs, metal tables or light wooden furniture. These materials are perfect for creating a cosy and fresh atmosphere in any space of the house. At Homes by Gestilar, we have homes with large terraces where you can enjoy this time of the year, such as the Mirador de Bravo Murillo, located in the heart of Madrid.

Natural lighting

Lighting is a key element in any decoration. During spring, make the most of the natural light that enters your home through your windows. Avoid heavy curtains and opt for light, translucent curtains that allow light to pass through. In addition, you can add table or floor lamps with light shades that provide soft, relaxing lighting.

Accessories since spring

To complete your spring home décor, it is important to add some accessories that add a touch of freshness and vitality. You can opt for cushions with floral motifs, glass vases with fresh flowers, paintings with spring landscapes or wicker baskets to store magazines or blankets. Accessories are a simple and inexpensive way to freshen up your home’s décor.

Spring aromas

Scents are an important element in any decoration. During spring, take the opportunity to add fresh, floral fragrances to your home. You can opt for candles or essential oil diffusers with jasmine, lavender or rose fragrances. These scents will help you create a relaxing and fresh atmosphere in any room of the house.

In short, spring is the perfect time to freshen up your home’s décor and prepare it for the most colourful season of the year. Deep cleaning, flowers and plants, light and cheerful colours, natural textures, light furniture, natural lighting, spring accessories and fresh scents are some of the ideas you can apply to your home decoration. With these simple ideas, you will be able to enjoy a cosy and fresh home in spring.
