Having a fresh start, no matter the time of year, is always a plus — especially if you are getting ready to sell your home or you just moved into a brand new home. To help brighten up your space, I put together 5 quick ways you can bring “springtime” into your home for all 4 seasons.

1. Greenery

Plants will not only bring life and natural color into your space but are scientifically proven to clean the air in your home and infuse a fresh start. The problem for most, however, is having to take care of one extra thing and keeping plants alive when it is cold outside. Here are a few plants that are made for indoor conditions and live year round with minimal maintenance:

• Succulents
• Geranium
• Ponytail Palm
• Pothos

2. Fresh Linens

This is the perfect year-round bedding material. Linen will trap in the heat in the winter and keep things breezy in the summer. It always adds a touch of luxury and naturalness to your home’s decor, too. Consider replacing stuffy cotton towels for white and beige linen towels in your kitchen and bathroom and use a neutral colored linen tablecloth on the kitchen table during dinner parties.

3. Spring-clean every season

Spring cleaning does not just have to be for spring time. Go room-by-room and choose at least one thing to throw away and one closet or drawer to organize. Bathrooms and kitchens are a great place to start as they usually collect the most “stuff.” When organizing, ask the question “Do I use it?” and “Do I need it?” If the answer is “no”, throw it in the “donate/throw away” pile and move on! You’ve got more of the house to clean.

Since I started in the real estate industry, I’ve seen multiple buyers and sellers come up with all sorts of ways to bring spring into their home year round. For more tips on this and more, contact me today!
