4 Ways to Get Spring Ready at Home
Spring has finally sprung! The sun is shining and we’ve been blessed with some blue skies here in Chicagoland. Spring is one of my favorite seasons because everything is brighter, happier, and more colorful.
When it comes to my home, the start of Spring marks a seasonal refresh that sees us through to Fall. I love to declutter some forgotten cabinets, drawers, and closets and make donations to local charities. It’s also the perfect excuse to switch up a color scheme or two as well!
Today I want to elaborate on the start of Spring and share with you some of my favorite ways to get Spring ready. So here are 4 Ways To Get Spring Ready at home!
1. Outdoor Ready
The start of Spring is the perfect opportunity to get back out into the backyard, do some cleaning up around plants, and sow some new seeds. You may also need to start cutting some plants back in preparation for the warmer months ahead.
Aside from the gardening aspect of the outdoors, it’s a great time to invest in new outdoor furniture and get things set up and ready to use. Does your patio need cleaning or refinishing? Perhaps you’ve already dreamed of creating an outdoor living space to sit back and relax in – now is the perfect time!
Spring is the ideal time to get your outdoor living and dining spaces ready for relaxing, now and through to the end of summer.
2. Refresh Bedding
As soon as the temperatures start to warm up and stabilize, I like to swap out heavy bedding for lighter ones. This means thick and heavy quilts will be packed up and stored away, while light and thinner ones get introduced.
It’s also a good opportunity to look at the bed linen itself too! There are lots of options on the market now that help to keep you cool at night which is a lifesaver throughout the warmer months. Spring is a great time to start researching new bed linen options and choosing fresh sheets for the warmer months ahead.

3. Accessories Swap Out
The start of a new season is also a fantastic opportunity to refresh and swap out some home decor pieces!
While you may still have a thick and cozy knitted throw blanket in the living room, now is the time to switch this out for a lighter and softer one. Similarly, replace throw pillows with a fresh pattern or lighter tones of color to embrace the seasonal shift into Spring and Summer.
Go one step further and embrace some Spring theme ornaments and decorative pieces! This could be an arrangement of faux tulips in a new pastel colored vase, or fun bunny objects to make a nod towards Easter.

4. Kitchen Decluttering
One of my favorite seasonal activities is to declutter another kitchen cabinet or drawer! If you haven’t used some utensils or small appliances, now could be the time to give them a new home.
It’s also a great time of year to go through your pantry and cabinets to organize items and see if anything should be donated. Check the dates on food products to ensure they are still okay to use.
If your kitchen cabinets feel chaotic, it’s a great time to purchase some storage bins or drawer organizers to make things more efficient.
