Freshen Up Your Home This Spring—No Spending Required

Spring Styling Secrets That Cost Nothing Originally posted July 26, 2025 Whether you're listing or lingering, there’s no better time to give your home a quick revamp. The best part? You can skip the spending to get big results. Some of the best styling tricks involve using what you already own. With some creativity, smart swaps can redefine a space. ### 1. Rethink Your Layout Spring is all about movement and energy—so let your furniture reflect that. Move your sofa toward a window. Simple shifts in layout can open up new views. ### 2. Change the Mood with Texture Color sets the mood. Add light textures like cotton or voile. Airy colours reflect more light and create a spring vibe. ### 3. Style With Nature Greenery = effortless upgrade. Grab some leaves from the park, stick them in a vase, and boom—you've added texture and life. Want to level it up? Move your fiddle leaf fig to a new spot—bedside table. ### 4. Mix Things Up That hallway table? Could shine in the lounge. Switch accessories across spaces.
