The arrival of a new season is around the corner, and its promises of renewal and growth are the perfect reasons to start your home spring cleaning. Plus, if you're looking to list your home in the near future, a fresh touch could increase its perceived value.


A little sprucing up goes a long way, whether adding seasonal décor or checking off some deep-clean projects. Consider:


Giving Your Outdoor Space Some TLC


Begin your home spring cleaning journey and create a welcoming seasonal vibe by boosting your home’s curb appeal. Clear away winter debris from the yard, patio and deck with a good sweep or pressure wash. You could care for the yard by mowing the lawn and trimming bushes. Additionally, add spring charm by planting flowers like tulips, daffodils or pansies. Incorporate a cozy touch by replacing worn and torn furniture with pops of color and placing lanterns in nooks and crannies to set a welcoming ambiance.


Letting the Spring Air In


As nature awakens and temperatures encourage indoor/outdoor living, you’ll want to continue your home spring cleaning by examining windows and doors. Repair torn screens and remove dirt, mold and debris to give it a fresh look. Also, you can add citronella candles or potted lavender near entryways to naturally repel spring bugs from entering your home.


Putting a Spring-Cleaning Shine into Your Living Spaces


Inside, you can progress your home spring cleaning tasks and create a fresh canvas for the season by checking off a few deep-cleaning projects. Start with one room in your home at a time, beginning with smaller, manageable areas. Scan the space and consider shampooing carpets, organizing and decluttering closets or drawers (donating unused items), and scrubbing behind permanent appliances and furniture.


Creating Seasonal Inspiration


The more temperate weather invites thinner fabrics, pastel shades and warm, sunny tones. Walk through your home and see where you can add a coat of paint, artwork, patterns and strategically placed décor inspired by the season’s promises. Landscapes, botanical prints or nature-inspired patterns are go-to springtime essentials to include.


With consideration, shall you enjoy the season to its fullest. May spring rejuvenate.
