Spring Home Reset: Use What You’ve Got, Make It Look New

Spring Styling Secrets That Cost Nothing Written by Smithers UK Spring might be the season of selling houses, but even if you're not listing yours, there’s no better time to give your home a style reset. The best part? No need for new furniture to make it happen. Some of the best styling tricks involve using what you already own. With a few tweaks, layout changes can redefine a space. ### 1. Let the Light In Spring is all about airflow and clarity—so let your furniture reflect that. Pull chairs closer to the sunshine. Simple shifts in layout can completely change the vibe. ### 2. Switch Up the Palette Color sets the mood. Swap heavy fabrics for breezy linens. Airy colours reflect more light and make spaces feel open. ### 3. Use What’s Growing Outside Greenery = instant refresh. Grab some leaves from the park, style them in a jug, and boom—you've added texture and life. Want to level it up? Move your indoor plant to a new spot—kitchen shelf. ### 4. Mix Things Up Could be a minibar. That bedroom chair? Switch mirrors to new angles. Small moves, big changes. --- **Q: Where do I start with a spring reset?** **A:** Clear out the junk first. You’ll see the possibilities emerge. **Q: Do I need to buy new décor?** **A:** Nope.
