Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, I always get excited for Spring around the beginning of February. Even living in the Charleston climate, I quickly tire of the colder winter months. When we get a few nice days in Winter, it reminds me so much of the warm Spring months ahead of us, and I can’t wait!

Spring just feels fresh and clean! A new season to me means new beginnings. Bringing Spring inside my home is something I try to do as we head into March here in Charleston.

I share my pleasant tips for getting ready for Spring inside my home. I hope this inspires you to bring Spring inside yours too!

Tips to Prepare Your Home Ready for Spring

1. Change Out Bedding

With warmer nights ahead, swapping out a heavy comforter and thick sheets for lighter bedding is crucial to get your bedroom ready for Spring. Remove your old bedding and wash it before storing it away. These bed sheet organizers from Amazon are great for storing sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases.

I like to use my Spring bedding change as an opportunity to add a lighter and brighter feel to the room. For Spring, I opt for whites and lighter colors than my Fall/Winter bedding. These small changes can make a huge impact!

2. Add Fresh Flowers

There is nothing better than a fresh bouquet of flowers! I find that I “treat” myself way more often to flowers in the Spring than any other month. The Spring blooms just hit differently!

Some of my favorite springtime flowers to purchase are tulips, hydrangeas, and peonies. Peonies have a very short season, so if you see them, buy them!!

If you’re not into fresh flowers, you can go with faux flowers instead! They are way less maintenance than real flowers and always look perfect. Try out these faux white tulips or artificial hydrangeas. I often blend a mix of real and faux flowers around my home!

3. Hang a Spring wreath

Simply changing out the wreath on your front door can make a fresh, inviting feel to your home! There are endless possibilities for Spring wreaths, such as a flower basket wreath that is all the rage right now.

I often like to make my own wreaths too! It’s a fun way to make a unique decor item. Simply grab a wreath hanger and add faux flowers, greenery, and ribbon to it.

4. Declutter

“Spring cleaning” has its name for a reason! Come springtime, you’re going to want the make space for new and fresh feelings in your home. And with that means getting rid of some stuff. Although decluttering is the least fun tip on this list, I’ve found it’s maybe the most important one.

Every Spring, I take a trip (or five!) to our local Goodwill. As you switch out our closets and drawers with warmer-weather clothing, take the opportunity to make a pile of giveaway clothes. Do the same thing with your home decor, household items, and toys. You’ll feel so good once you remove the clutter from your home!

5. Add a new fragrance

Grab some Spring-scented candles and change out your Spring Pura scents. When looking for a fresh scent, I often gravitate to scents with florals, lemons, lavender, jasmine, and grapefruit. My favorite Spring scent is Capri Blue Volcano 06.

6. Open the Windows

Get some fresh air inside your home on those warmer-weather days! Open the windows to allow the breeze to flow through your home.

Often during this time, I use the opportunity to clean the window seals and tracks. I simply just use a wet paper towel to wipe the gunk off. This gets the windows ready to be open all springtime long!

7. Change out linens & towels

I change out my linens and towels in the powder room and kitchen seasonally, and springtime is no different. Change out your hand towels and tea towels to something more vibrant and fun for Spring. These items are a way to bring some personality to your home, so don’t be afraid to have some fun with them!

Some of my favorite places to shop for linens are Home Goods, Anthropologie, and local boutiques/

8. Add greenery

Add greenery around your home to bring Spring inside! Real or faux greenery stems will bring in natural freshness to your home. Some of my favorite faux stems are olive branches.

Fresh eucalyptus is the best for some added fresh home scent!

9. Swap out decor

Put away the heavy blankets and dark throw pillows, and replace them with light-weight throws and light-colored pillows. Any leftover holiday decor, snowmen, and Valentine’s Day decor can be stored away until next season.

10. Add small details

It’s all in the details! I like to add in unexpected Spring-like touches throughout my decor. Some of my favorite ideas to add bursts of Spring details into my decor are:

• Color or fun ribbon to topiaries
• Lemons in a vase or decorative bowl
• Decoupage shells
• Beaded garland

11. Get your table ready

Nothing says Spring like a fresh, inviting tabletop! Layer your table with a floral tablecloth and a centerpiece. Add in some fun colors and florals for a twist to your traditional Spring decor.

When should I start getting my home ready for Spring?

My rule of thumb for bringing out the Spring decor and getting my home ready for Spring is after Valentine’s Day. The weather starts to change in March here in Charleston, so this timeline is perfect for me. However, if you live in a colder climate, you may want to wait until mid-March to get ready. The first day of Spring is in mid-to-late-March (often the 19th, 20th, or 21st).

Whether you’re excited for Spring or need some motivation to get your home ready for the new season, I hope these tips inspire you.
