Spring is finally here, and after months of grey skies and dark evenings, who doesn’t crave a fresh start at home?
Whether you’re selling your home, searching for your perfect property, or simply want to revitalise your current space, these interior design tips will boost your home’s appeal and elevate your mood.
This blog is part of my monthly interiors series in collaboration with the brilliant team at JP & Brimelow – a local estate agency known not just for helping people move, but for genuinely caring about the South Manchester community.
I love working with JP & Brimelow because they get that a home isn’t just about bricks and mortar – it’s about creating a space that truly supports the life you want to live.
Check out their blog for more great advice if you’re thinking of buying or selling, or want to know more about South Manchester’s beautiful neighbourhoods and local businesses.
1. Spring Cleaning and Decluttering
Spring is the perfect time to clear out the old and make room for the new. Decluttering helps your rooms look bigger – ideal if you’re selling – and reduces stress, bringing instant clarity and calm to your space.
Easy Tip: Sort your items into keep, donate, or recycle piles, tackling one room at a time to make the process manageable. Everything should have its place (and if it doesn’t – do you really need it?).
2. Refresh with Spring Colours: Pastels, Pistachio Green, and Earth Tones
Soft pastel shades like blush pink, calming blue, and gentle green will instantly revitalise your home. For a fresh, vibrant feel, try out the colour for Spring 2025 – pistachio green.
Pairing these colours with warm earth tones, such as light browns and terracotta hues, creates an inviting and cosy atmosphere you’ll love coming home to.
Easy Tip: Add pastel colours, earth tones, or pistachio green using cushions, throws, or artwork for a simple yet impactful update. Feeling bold? Paint a feature wall or colour-drench a room for maximum impact.
3. Sustainable Living
You might be surprised how much buyers value homes with thoughtful, eco-friendly touches. Choosing sustainable materials or adding vintage furniture not only showcases your home’s unique character but also demonstrates care and authenticity.
Easy Tip: Explore second-hand shops to discover vintage treasures that perfectly fill your empty spaces, making rooms feel beautifully complete.
4. Biophilic Design: Nature, Fresh Air, and Natural Light
You know how good it feels after spending time outdoors – fresh air, sunlight, and natural elements do wonders for your well-being. Biophilic design recreates this feeling indoors by incorporating plants, fresh spring flowers, and natural textures. Regularly opening your windows enhances air quality and fills your space with light, creating an inviting atmosphere you’ll enjoy daily.
Easy Tip: Introduce low-maintenance plants like snake plants or peace lilies, add fresh spring flowers like tulips or daffodils, and open your windows to welcome spring freshness indoors (although fellow hayfever sufferers, beware!).
5. Lightweight and Layered Textiles
Switching heavy fabrics for lighter, breathable textiles instantly makes your home feel airy and spacious – perfect for welcoming the new season. Layering different textures adds depth and visual interest, making your space inviting, fresh, and comfortable.
Easy Tip: Replace thick curtains with sheer linen fabrics and layer different textiles like cotton throws or textured cushions to maximise comfort and a fresh style.
