A spring home makeover doesn't have to mean spending loads of money. If you're looking for easy thrifty ways to update your living space, look no further.

Colour

Spring is that time of year when colour abounds, so why not let your house reflect that? All you need to do is paint just one wall in your living room or bedroom and, voila, spring has arrived! Experiment with light shades like yellow, mint, lavender, pink and turquoise. Or, for a timeless take, neutrals like ivory or eggshell are classy hues that will lift your living space to the next level. Continue by adding colour to your room with cushions and throws in pretty spring patterns such as florals and in airy textures. Fresh flowers in fine vases and plants will complete the spring ambience.

Less is more

Look around your house and remove whatever may strike you as just too much. Spring demands a lighter feel than the winter months and you'll feel that a weight has been lifted off you too. Keep anything of sentimental value and whatever has simple clean lines. The former will ensure your personality shines through while the latter will create a clean canvas for you to easily update your home.

Shake it up

Transform your room easily simply by changing your furniture around. This probably applies more to your living room rather than any other rooms in your house. In just a few moves, this effective, no cost change can make you feel like you're sitting in a new room!

Handle with care

There's not a lot you can do in the kitchen and bathroom. However, changing cupboard handles and knobs is a clever way of making a small but impactful difference to these rooms. In addition, curtains, blinds and shower curtains in spring colours will brighten up these spaces and help you throw off the winter blues and get in the mood for spring!

Pretty as a picture

It goes without saying that paintings and photographs can completely alter the ambience of a room. So it follows that we'll all undoubtedly have a myriad of photographs and paintings. So how do we ratchet up the spring factor? Simply add more pictures and paintings or, if that's just going a bit too far, change the frames to reflect this bright and breezy season.
