In Alberta, we all know that winter likes to make a few surprise comebacks before Spring truly settles in. But that doesn’t mean we can’t start freshening up our homes and embracing the season ahead! Here are a few simple ways to refresh your space while we wait for the real Spring to arrive in Élan.
Bring on Spring (No Matter the Forecast)
LIGHTEN & BRIGHTEN
A Fresh Start for your Home
Let in the Light
Even if there’s still snow on the ground, longer daylight hours make a big difference. Swap out heavy curtains for sheer ones, clean the windows, and bring in mirrors to reflect more natural light throughout your home.
Introduce a Touch of Green
Since outdoor gardening is still a few weeks away, brighten up your home with low-maintenance indoor plants or fresh-cut flowers. They’ll add a touch of spring, even if winter lingers outside.
Declutter and Organize
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to wait! Start small by tackling one space at a time — swap out heavy winter blankets, pack away seasonal decor, and clear off surfaces for a fresher, airier feel.
Lighten Up Your Décor
Bring in pastel colours, floral prints, or fresh linens to shift your home from cozy winter vibes to a lighter, brighter Spring aesthetic. Even a simple pillow swap can make a big difference.
Fresh Scents for a Fresh Season
Switch from wintery scents like cinnamon and pine to fresh, floral, or citrus-based candles and diffusers. It’s an instant mood booster that makes your home feel like Spring, even if the weather disagrees.
While we may see a few more snowfalls before Spring fully arrives in Élan, these small changes will help you welcome the season inside — no matter what’s happening outside!
