Don’t you just love Spring? It’s probably our favourite season. Fresh buds push through the damp earth and we feel hope for lighter nights and warmer days with the added promise of a (hopefully) sunny summer ahead. So – it’s time to re-energise yourself and hit the deck running. Here are our top hints and tips for a seasonal home refresh!
Spring Cleaning: A Fresh Start for Your Home
There’s a reason spring cleaning is a tradition – it’s the perfect way to symbolically (and literally) wipe the slate clean and welcome a new season with open arms. A deep clean not only makes your home feel lighter and more inviting but also sets the stage for the additions that will truly transform your space.
Start by decluttering each room. Donate items that no longer serve you, and store away heavy winter layers like thick blankets and chunky knits. Replace them with lighter, breezier fabrics that echo the freshness of spring.
Once the clutter is cleared, focus on the details that make a house feel like home. Dust surfaces, polish windows to let in maximum sunlight, and consider incorporating touches of greenery to brighten your space. Fresh flowers or potted plants are an easy way to bring a bit of nature indoors – think tulips, daffodils, or ferns for a seasonal touch.
The Transformative Power of Fragrance
While your décor creates the visual atmosphere of your home, fragrance has the unique ability to enhance the emotional ambience. The right scent can evoke feelings of warmth, serenity, or even pure joy – all essential to creating a harmonious home.
This spring, focus on fragrances that capture the essence of the season. Floral, fresh, and energising scents are ideal for bringing the outdoors in and creating a space that feels alive with possibility. Heart and Home offer an eclectic choice of fresh, floral home fragrance to really bring the Spring! Keep reading and discover a few of our Spring delights.

Bringing the Outdoors In
One of the greatest joys of spring is the way it reintroduces us to the beauty of nature. Birds chirp, flowers bloom, and the world seems to hum with life. While it’s wonderful to spend time outdoors, it’s just as fulfilling to bring those natural elements into your home.
Pairing spring fragrances with thoughtful décor choices can help blur the line between indoors and out:
Decorate with natural elements
Use woven baskets, wooden accents, and stoneware to add texture and earthiness to your space. These materials complement the fresh, floral scents of spring fragrances, creating a harmonious balance.
Incorporate greenery
Houseplants, fresh-cut flowers, or even faux greenery can add vibrancy to your home. Position plants near windows to catch the light and let their beauty shine against a backdrop of clean, minimal surfaces. We found some great deals at the Range with a seasonal selection of affordable yet luxurious accessories to choose from including faux plants and indoor planters.
