Spring is finally here! Personally spring is our favourite season. We absolutely love the smells and sounds of the season. The smell of blooming flowers, the sound of crickets, the bird singing, and the weather slowly turning warmer.
It’s the happiest time of the year for us, it's almost like you can feel yourself coming out of winter hibernation.
With spring arriving, there’s often a variety of things to do around the house to close out the remnants of the cold winter and welcome in summer. We’ve created a little list of all the things we like to complete in spring, so hopefully you get some inspo for yourself.
01. Change your bedding
If you do a warmer flannelette type bedding for winter, now is the time to change it to your summer linen (or whatever material you prefer in summer). We also love to go for brighter, lighter colours for spring/summer, and if you’re the same then now is the type to swap! Bring out those bright patterns and florals, it fits the season perfectly.
02. Change the candles in the house
We love any excuse to purchase new home fragrance, but a change in season almost feels like a legitimate reason. During the winters we prefer to burn deeper, more woody scents, while during summer we whip out the florals and citrus smells. If candles in summer isn’t your thing, grab some diffusers instead.
03. Swap your throws and pillow covers
Our throws and pillows during winter tend to be heavier, thicker, and warmer, while summer textiles are lighter and crisper. Now is the time to swap your throws and throw pillow covers over the match the season. Put away the faux fur and bring out the Turkish cotton.
04. Swap out your wardrobe staples
If you’ve stored your summer clothing away, now is the time to bring it back out, give it a good launder, so you’re ready to wear it as the weather warms up. Likewise now is a good time to start storing away the heavy jackets and boots. Out with the woolen coats and in with the linen blazers!
05. Do a spring clean
Nothing feels better than a freshly cleaned house, but a freshly deep cleaned house is on another level of bliss. Give your house a good deep clean to invite summer in.
Honestly, deep cleaning is by far the least exciting thing on this list for us so we won't go too far into it, but you can find plenty of amazing guides online if you'd like to. Can you tell we're not fans of cleaning?
06. Get some new nail colours
Okay this one might be a bit OTT, but we love to go for some brighter nails during the warmer seasons. Go on a little shopping spree and get yourself some new nail colours, or if you go to a nail salon, get some fun nail art done to welcome in the season. You deserve it!
And that's it, those are the items on our spring checklist. Let us know if you have any other items on your list, we'd love to hear them!
