Dust & Clean Furniture: Wipe down all the surfaces, including shelves, tables, and mantels to clean off any dust. Then, use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to clean your sofas and chairs.

Update Throw Pillows & Blankets: Swap out any heavy winter throws with light springtime blankets. Add new pillows in light colors or floral patterns to add a touch of spring to the room.

Revitalize Décor: Swap out any remaining winter décor with lighter, more airy springtime pieces. Use pastels, woven baskets, and natural textures like rattan or wood. Our “Rattan” and “Hyacinth” collections have woven furniture and decorations that are perfect for organizing while giving the room a natural feel.
