Refresh Your Home for Daylight Savings: Embrace the Light and Seasonal Change
Daylight savings is more than just adjusting the clocks; it’s an invitation to refresh your home and align your space with the longer, brighter days ahead. As the promise of spring approaches, now is the perfect time to make subtle yet impactful changes that bring light, energy, and a renewed sense of style into your home. Here at Trenez Says Home, we believe in celebrating every seasonal shift with intentional updates that enhance your living space.
1. Switch to Light and Airy Drapery
One of the easiest ways to embrace the longer days is by swapping heavy, winter drapes for lighter, airy textiles. Think sheer panels or linen curtains that let natural light flood your rooms. Not only does this change brighten your space, but it also creates a breezy, open feel that’s perfect for the season.
Pro tip: Opt for neutral or pastel tones to keep the look fresh and timeless. If privacy is a concern, layer sheer curtains with a light, textured shade for a functional yet stylish solution.
2. Update Your Bedding with Neutral Tones
As winter transitions to spring, it’s time to retire the heavy comforters and embrace lighter bedding. Neutral tones like whites, creams, or soft greys work beautifully to create a serene, spring-inspired retreat. Pair them with lightweight quilts or duvet covers made from breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo.
3. Incorporate Fresh Greenery and Florals
Nothing says spring quite like fresh greenery. Consider adding potted plants, fresh-cut flowers, or even faux arrangements to your living spaces. Not only do they bring life and vibrancy to your home, but they also act as a natural mood booster.
For an easy DIY, arrange a mix of tulips, daffodils, eucalyptus or hydrangea in a simple glass vase for a centerpiece that celebrates the season.
4. Rotate Your Decorative Accents
Daylight savings is a great time to rethink your decorative accessories. Swap out winter-themed decor like heavy throws, dark candles, and rich-toned artwork for items that evoke lightness and freshness. Think woven baskets, ceramic vases, and framed art with nature-inspired motifs.
You can also add mirrors to strategic spots in your home to reflect light and make your space feel more open and inviting.
5. Perform a Seasonal Declutter
Use the extra daylight as motivation for a good decluttering session. Go through closets, drawers, and storage areas to purge items that no longer serve you. This not only frees up space but also sets the stage for a more organized and harmonious living environment.
As an interior designer, I assure you most of us have additional storage spaces that need a little LTC. Trust me, I’ll be finding time to tackle my own. Decluttering isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about creating a home that feels refreshed and ready for the season ahead.
6. Bring in Fragrances That Evoke Spring
Switch up your home’s scent profile to match the changing season. Light, floral, or citrusy candles and diffusers can make your home feel as fresh as it looks. Consider scents like lavender, lemon verbena, or fresh linen to complement your spring-inspired updates.
Final Thoughts
Daylight savings are the perfect opportunity to refresh your home and prepare for the vibrant season ahead. By making small but intentional changes like updating your drapery, bedding, and decorative accents, you’ll create a space that not only looks beautiful but also uplifts your spirit.
At Trenez Says Home, we’re all about curating spaces that reflect your personal style while embracing the beauty of every season. So, as the clocks spring forward, let your home step into the light and warmth of the coming months.
Here’s to brighter days and beautifully refreshed spaces!
