Refreshing Your Home for Spring

Wherever you are in the world, we’re living in very stressful times — from the on-going pandemic and the looming financial crisis, to our own personal problems and more. While it's easy to get carried away by such matters, it's essential to maintain some semblance of control for the good of our own mental wellbeing. Fortunately, this can start right in our own homes. With spring coming up, there's no better way to usher in the season than by giving your space a much-needed spring make-over.

Apply Pastel Wallpaper

A wall's design has one of the biggest impacts on any room's atmosphere — so, why not switch things up by applying new wallpaper? In this regard, our Vienna Nude wallpaper is the perfect choice for a room revamp, as the pastel shades complement the delightfully sweet style of spring. Plus, being surrounded by pastel walls can feel especially soothing, with the Independent sharing that pastel colours have a calming effect on one's mood. Whether you go with blush, lilac, or sky blue, pastel walls will elevate both your room's look and your temperament.

Check Your Boiler

As temperatures start to rise, you likely won't be using your boiler as much anymore. That means now is a great opportunity to have it checked. With social distancing now encouraged it may not be feasible to get someone out for a simple check. Thankfully, modern technology lets us do it ourselves without the need to bring someone over through the use of app technology. Home maintenance provider HomeServe has an app that demonstrates how it is now possible to live chat with specialists to discuss a variety of appliance questions. This way you can get detailed instructions on what to look for with your boiler. And if you feel it does need an update you can schedule a professional to visit at the soonest possible moment. This way, you don't have to worry about your boiler breaking down the next time you actually need it the most.

Tidy Up Your Garden

Spring isn't complete without spending some time in your garden. However, if your shrubs are left in disarray after the harsh winter, staying outdoors might just dampen your mood. This is why giving your garden a spring refresh should be a top priority. To tidy things up, be sure to trim the grass, fertilise the soil, and of course, check on and care for the blossoming flowers. And if you have a garden shed, take time to declutter and organise everything inside. Once everything's nice and neat, you can finally unwind in Mother Nature's presence.

Add Indoor Plants

Even inside your home, you can adopt the calming effects of a lovely garden by placing some indoor plants around the house. Whether it's a centrepiece in the living room or by your bedside, indoors plants might just be the peaceful touch your home needs. If you're not sure which ones are best, iNews recommends plants like the fiddle-leaf fig, the Swiss cheese plant, and the Haworthia succulent since they thrive with indirect sunlight.

Amplify Your Accessories

While a fluffy rug or a furry pillow is exceptionally cosy during the winter, these accessories can feel heavy this spring. Refresh your bedroom accessories by swapping your furry cushions for a more elegant yet still comfy pillows. If you're feeling creative, feel free to DIY it with our Luxe Velvet fabric. Alternatively, another way to make things more rejuvenating is replacing your heavy curtains for sheer ones, so more natural light can come in. Lastly, try creating a photo/art wall using sleek black frames.
