As we enter the spring season after what can only be called a cold winter in Bahrain, there are a few things that you can do to prepare for the warmer weather that go beyond your wardrobe.
Here are a few ideas to consider.
1. Bust Out The Color:
Bold colors scream spring! And they can be added in just about every corner of the home. Flowers, pillows, paintings; anything you can think of that adds a hint of color to your home works perfectly with spring.
2. Think Outdoors:
If you’re one of the lucky ones with a balcony or garden, this one is for you! With perfect outdoor weather, make sure your furniture is intact and clean, and that you do the necessary updates to that area.
3. Store Your Winter Items:
Throws, blankets and those winter-mood accessories should now take a back seat to your fresh spring items. Pack them neatly and correctly, so that you can reuse them at the end of the year.
4. Bring In Plants:
Be it for indoors or outdoors, plants are a great way to add a hint of spring to your space. They play on the color aspect of the season, and it’s the perfect condition for them to grow!
5. Add a Scent:
Swap your woody candles and air fresheners to something more breezy or citrusy. The sense of smell is a powerful one, and will add a lot to your home.
6. Embrace Natural Sunlight:
We sometimes forget just how important natural sunlight is! Open up those curtains and let the rays in!
7. Use Florals:
The simplest way to add a spring touch to your home is to use florals! The spring staple can be used in fabrics, art, accessories and just about everything else.
8. Remember The Details:
Remember, the bathroom, walls and your shelves are also areas where you can add some details to showcase the season!
9. Clean!
As much as some of us dislike spring cleaning, this is the best time to deep clean your home and make it spick and span.
