Interior Designer Deidre Kennedy Shares Her Best Tips
to Spruce Up Your Home for Spring Season
As the vibrant hues of spring start to bloom outside, it's the perfect time to bring that freshness indoors. But what are some easy ways to give your space a refresh without breaking the bank?
I spoke with Deidre Kennedy, owner of Leaf Design Studio in Charleston, SC, to get her best recommendations on how to spruce up your space for the season, all while adding personalized touches that truly make it your own.
1. Declutter with Flair
Kick things off with a decluttering session, but why not do it in style? Invest in storage bins or baskets to keep your space tidy while adding a touch of personality. To really take it up a notch, try hanging personalized tags or labels to your bins!
Deidre’s Recommendations:
2. Add Some New Artwork to Your Space
Elevate your walls with artwork that speaks to your style and personality. Whether it's a custom canvas print, a framed photo collage, or a hand-painted masterpiece, adding artwork to your space adds a unique focal point and injects personality into your home decor.
Art doesn’t have to be expensive, either! These art prints from Soirée All Day start at just $15. Purchase an inexpensive frame from Amazon and you’ll be off to the races!
3. Breathe Life Into Your Room With Greenery
There's nothing quite like the sight of lush greenery to breathe life into a room. Swap out your planters or pots for your indoor plants to add a unique flair to your botanical displays.
Deidre’s Recommendations:
4. Radiate with Natural Light
Spring is all about embracing the sunshine! Pull back those curtains and let the natural light flood your space. Consider adding window treatments to frame those sunny views beautifully.
Deidre’s Recommendations:
5. Transform Your Textiles
Swap out those heavy winter throws and pillows for lighter, brighter options. Opt for cushions, throw blankets, and other linens that add a pop of color and coziness to your space.
Deidre’s Recommendations:
6. Add in Colorful Accents
Infuse your space with the vibrant colors of spring through personalized accents like throw blankets, rugs, vases, candles, and decorative glassware that add a touch of charm and sophistication to your space. Choose pieces that reflect your unique style and brighten up the room.
Deidre’s Recommendations:
7. Incorporate Scentsational Scents
Fill your home with the delightful scents of spring using personalized diffusers, candles, or soaps. Choose fragrances that uplift your mood and energize your space.
8. Put Your Paper on Display
Showcase your collection of beautiful paper goods in decorative holders or frames. Whether it's a stunning stationery set or beautifully designed recipe cards, displaying personalized paper adds a touch of elegance and personality to your home decor. Arrange them on a shelf, mantel, or gallery wall to create a charming display that reflects your unique style and taste.
9. Give Your Furniture a Facelift
Shake things up by rearranging your furniture layout. Personalize the arrangement to suit your lifestyle and maximize space flow, creating a fresh new look for the season.
10. Do Some Old Fashioned Spring Cleaning
Embrace the tradition of spring cleaning to refresh and rejuvenate your home. Declutter closets, deep clean surfaces, and tackle those often-overlooked areas to create a clean and welcoming environment. As you tidy up, you'll not only create a more enjoyable living space but also a sense of accomplishment and renewal for the season ahead.
