As we celebrate the Spring equinox and the return of longer, lighter days, why not use this time to inject new life into your interior? The Pagan celebration of Ostara at this time marks the beginning of Spring and symbolises a time of new growth and rebirth, be this literal or figurative; this is the perfect time to freshen up your home, declutter and set new habits for the season ahead.
Switch Up Your Soft Furnishings
As the sun begins to show it's face again, it's time to lose the weighty throws and blankets and the snug scatter cushions for the season and instead embrace light, natural textures and fibres. Layer luxurious linens with light wools and sumptuous silks for a fresh, airy feel or switch out darker, rich accent colours for lively brights or pastels. Styling your home for the seasons doesn't have to involve gaudy holiday decor - keep it simple and play with colour and texture to try and encapsulate sunny spring days.

Shop Your Home
Updating your interior doesn't have to be at a cost - shop your home and instantly freshen up your styling. It really is that simple; just by re-arranging what you already have, pairing different items in different rooms and getting creative with your styling you can inject a new lease of life to your interior. Let your creativity run wild with this one and you might just surprise yourself with the difference it can make!
Introduce a Fresh New Fragrance
There's more to your interior than appearances alone - enchant the senses with a new home fragrance. Replace warming, spiced scents with fresh and fruity florals and breathe a new lease of life into your living space this spring. Scented candles are the perfect way to introduce a new fragrance; not only do they smell divine but there's nothing more relaxing than the gentle flickering light. Choose your fragrance to lift your mood, ease your mind and allow yourself to be transported to long, warm summer days.
