No matter how much you love your home, refreshing your space with the seasons breathes new life into it. Since we\u2019re constantly evolving, it makes sense that our personal style, preferences, and interests shift and change with time. If you take a look around your home and notice some spots that could use an overhaul\u2014spring might be the perfect time to change things up. Especially if a change in your kitchen<\/a> or living room<\/a> could bring more peace and calm into your life.\u00a0<\/p>\n Take it from the pros\u2014spring home design is all about makeovers, deep cleans, and organization sprees. They\u2019re not only working on refreshing their client\u2019s homes but their own homes as well. I chatted with interior designers Karen Wolf of K+Co Living<\/a>, Andi Morse of Morse Design<\/a>, and Jenna Morrow of Morrow Design Studios<\/a> to get to the lowdown on a spring home design refresh. Read for expert tips on how to breathe new life into your space this season.<\/p>\n\n The Coastal Grandma aesthetic burst onto the scene in 2022, as Lex Nicoleta<\/a> coined the phrase on TikTok, and the love of easy breezy, coastal style is still going strong. \u201cI love the coastal grandma aesthetic,\u201d Wolf shares. \u201cDespite not being a grandmother myself, or living on the water, I prefer a relaxed, soft muted palette with woven textures and natural materials mixed in.\u201d<\/p>\n Try It Yourself: <\/strong>To perfect the aesthetic this spring, swap darker colors for soft blues and neutrals, add rattan or wicker accents, and place a large vase of white hydrangeas on your kitchen table for ultimate Something\u2019s Gotta Give <\/em>vibes. Diane Keaton is the inspo behind the movement after all. Revamp your space for spring so your Coastal Grandma home will be ready by summer!<\/p>\n\n Layering scent<\/a> into your home can be so powerful, as fragrance can be used to completely shift the atmosphere of a space\u2014perfect as the seasons change. \u201cI like to refresh my bathrooms by adding fresh room diffusers,\u201d Morse says. \u201cI tend to infuse ones that look more like sculptures as they blend more with the aesthetic and decor rather than stick out.\u201d<\/p>\n Try It Yourself:<\/strong> <\/strong>There are a variety of plug-in diffusers, reed diffusers, and candles you could sprinkle throughout your space.\u00a0 Spring home design is elevated when you add a signature scent. Consider how you want you and your guests to experience each room as you decide on a home fragrance. Pay close attention to how each scent makes you feel. Are you relaxed? Energized? Happy? Choose accordingly and enjoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n Spring wouldn\u2019t be spring without a deep clean<\/a>, even for the pros. Wolf offers a helpful mindset to choose as you organize and tackle your at-home cleaning projects. \u201cOutside of the usual decluttering, I am thinking about my home as if I am about to move in\u2014from cleaning windows, vents, lighting, and paint,\u201d she shares.\u00a0<\/p>\n Try It Yourself: <\/strong>Take time this season to clean the spots that don\u2019t get daily or monthly care. Per Wolf\u2019s suggestion, look at your home with fresh eyes. If you had never walked into this home before, what would you notice? Let that inspire you as you plan your spring home projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n As you\u2019re spring cleaning your life<\/a>, you may begin to notice that some items in your home need to be updated. This is what spring home design is all about\u2014a refreshed space. Wolf is on the lookout for quick decor fixes that are simple and won\u2019t break the bank in her own home. \u201cQuick fixes for decor include fresh pillows, throws, bedding, and a kitchen island paint-over. Changing all bulbs to a consistent LED color temperature is also helpful,\u201d she states.\u00a0<\/p>\n Morrow agrees. \u201dI like to refresh my accents during the spring season to give my home a new look,\u201d she says. \u201c Transitioning throw pillow covers from dark and moody shades like emerald green to lighter and softer pastels is one way I like to make changes.\u201d<\/p>\n Try It Yourself: <\/strong>Notice if any of your throws are a little worse for wear, or if your pillows have lost their shape. Investing in updated linens will keep things fresh and cozy, and introduce lighter shades appropriate for warmer weather. Paint touch-ups are also a quick and easy fix that will make a big impact in your home, and on your nervous system, too.\u00a0No more chipped paint will be easy on your eyes. And if there\u2019s a piece of decor you\u2019ve been eyeing, don\u2019t be afraid to treat yourself this spring!<\/p>\n\n Isn\u2019t changing over your bedding between seasons a delightful small joy? Spring bedding is airy and light, and Morse refreshes her bedroom each year with a new pair of sheets. \u201cI like to buy one pair of fresh sheets for my bed as bedding takes a lot of wear and tear,\u201d she shares.\u00a0<\/p>\n Try It Yourself: <\/strong>While you\u2019re digging through your linen closet, Morse suggests doing a declutter as you go. \u201cAdditionally, I like to organize my bedding, get rid of the ones that are no longer in great shape, and buy a completely new set for the next year,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n\n \u201cTwo of the areas that I tend to refresh in my home every spring are my kitchen and bathrooms,\u201d Morse shares. \u201cFirst, I like organizing and cleaning out the pantry and all the cabinets, and then I like to do the same for the bathrooms<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Try It Yourself: <\/strong>Spring cleaning gets a lot of hype this season, but decluttering and organizing go hand in hand with a deep clean, especially in your kitchen and bathroom like Morse says. Give yourself time this season to take everything out of your pantry or cabinet and toss the items that are old or expired, and organize all of the items you keep. It\u2019s best to do one cabinet at a time, so you don\u2019t get overwhelmed. Good design is not only for what\u2019s in plain sight, but what goes on behind closed doors as well.<\/p>\n\n If there\u2019s ever a time to sprinkle your home with fresh bouquets, it\u2019s now. Flowers add beauty instantly, whether they are real or faux. \u201cI like to incorporate oversized faux spring florals like cherry blossoms and lilacs,\u201d Morrow says. Morrow herself has a large vase of white cherry blossoms in her home office. Large faux florals add a layer of softness to her space, and since they\u2019re faux, she doesn\u2019t need to worry about watering them.\u00a0<\/p>\n Try It Yourself: <\/strong>If you\u2019re lucky enough to have flowering branches in your backyard, pruning your trees and bringing those branches inside is a wonderful way to affordably incorporate the real thing. If not, browsing Trader Joe\u2019s flower aisle will be lovely, especially since the grocery store offers a wide array of affordable flowers, branches, and greenery.\u00a0<\/p>\n This post was last updated on March 23, 2025 to include new insights<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nDesigners Share: How to Refresh Your Home For Spring<\/h2>\n
