When the winter weather begins to fade away and the temperature outside starts rising consistently, that means the beautiful spring season is upon us. It’s time to embrace the extra sunlight, vibrant colors that begin to bloom, and the essence of new life everywhere! For many homeowners, it’s also the perfect time to give rooms a deep clean and remove all the winter debris that was tracked indoors during the colder months.

Spring cleaning may at first sound like a daunting chore, but it definitely does not have to be when you break down your top objectives. In addition to making sure your surfaces are shining, you can also use this opportunity to add spring pops in your décor. With a few décor refreshes and key accessories, you can give your interiors a new feel and appropriate seasonal appeal. Here are a few of our favorite tips for effective spring cleaning in your home:

Clean Your Floors

When you draw back the curtains to let the springtime sunshine come indoors, clean floors will help create an airy, gorgeous vibe that enhances your mood. Always dust beforehand in the room, from the top furnishings down, so that you can remove more dust and pet dander when you clean your floors. For your plush carpet and dazzling area rugs, vacuum with a suitable model to remove all particles effectively. We also recommend at least one professional carpet and rug cleaning annually as a part of your overall care strategy, and spring is a great time for it!

For your charming hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate, and tile floors, sweep the floor with a gentle bristle broom or dust-mop the surface entirely. Follow your hardwood manufacturer’s guidelines carefully when it comes to mopping or using a Swiffer WetJet system. Thanks to a greater level of moisture resistance, you can mop your vinyl, laminate, and tile floors whenever you want to return a pristine appearance. This simple first step will instantly make your home feel fresh and new.

Accessorize With Spring Rugs

As an instant spring addition that also helps protect your floors, we highly advise you to add charming area rugs with bright colors, spring shades, and natural motifs to your rooms. We can help explore thousands of colors and patterns to complete your spaces! In addition to new area rugs, consider switching out other colors in the room including pillows, throws, and drapes that will give the room the right touch of energy. Measure your room dimensions, as well as larger tables and furniture pieces, to select the ideal rug sizes that frame your room to perfection. Rotating your area rugs when the seasons change is an easy, affordable way to capture the right ambiance.

Add Plants

It’s no secret that adding plants indoors give us natural comfort and a connection to the outdoors. Plants provide lush green tones, fresh fragrances, as well as visual interest in the form of colors, leaf shapes, and irregular, artistic growth. Did you know that plants are also natural humidifiers that reduce carbon dioxide levels and improve air quality? Plus, you can use the pots and planters as another way to add color and texture that enhances the spring aesthetic while matching your décor. Even fake plants will add the appropriate visual appeal while requiring no maintenance! Use both real and fake plants indoors to capture a soothing aura.

Remodel Project

With the spring theme of new life in the air, it may be the best time to complete that quick remodel project that’s been on your mind. Maybe it’s finishing up your guest bathroom or laundry room with waterproof flooring or installing a quick floating floor to turn a room into a flexible space.
