How to Refresh Your Home for Spring (Without Buying a Thing)

How to Refresh Your Home for Spring (Without Buying a Thing) 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 seasonal refresh. The best part? You can skip the spending to transform your space. Some of the best styling tricks involve using what you already own. With a few tweaks, smart swaps can breathe new energy into a room. ### 1. Let the Light In Spring is all about airflow and clarity—so let your furniture reflect that. Create a new reading nook. Simple shifts in layout can freshen your mood. ### 2. Switch Up the Palette Color sets the mood. Add light textures like cotton or voile. Pale shades reflect more light and make spaces feel open. ### 3. Use What’s Growing Outside Greenery = free décor. Grab some cuttings from your yard, 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—bedside table. ### 4. Mix Things Up That hallway table? Try it as a dressing room feature. Switch art between rooms.
