Prepping your home for spring isn’t limited to checking for damage and destruction though. The warm weather, increased sunlight and beautiful colors of nature are what make spring such a great time of year. With a few tricks you can enhance your home to fully welcome the season.

You can brighten up any room and make it more fitting for spring by swapping out pillows of heavy, dark fabric with covers of linen or printed cotton. Brighter, more vibrant colors can evoke a sense of growth and renewal, but you don’t have to stop at just pillows.

Vases, flowers bouquets and intricate bottles can also help bring light and color to any room. You can top off your springtime interior décor by selecting citrus fragrances for the rooms of your home. Scent infusers, plug-ins and potpourri can all help usher in a feeling of freshness.

Of course, it wouldn’t be spring cleaning if you didn’t rummage through closets and storage rooms to declutter and discard items. If the idea of sorting through piles of old “junk” fills you with dread, then consider holding a yard or garage sale for motivation.
