If your home’s feeling a little stale, you don’t need a full renovation to breathe new life into your space. A few quick, intentional swaps can completely shift the mood—think lighter layers, fresh color, and a touch of the outdoors. These 6 simple upgrades are the easiest way to refresh your living space for the season without the stress (or the splurge).
6 Simple Ways to Refresh Your Living Space
Swap In Lightweight Throws & Pillows
Parachute Cloud Linen Gauze Throw
Trade in heavy knits and winter textures for breezy cotton or linen. Lighter throws and pillow covers in soft neutrals or sunny tones instantly lighten up the vibe—and it only takes minutes to swap them in.
Style Your Coffee Table with Seasonal Layers
Update your coffee table styling with a few simple swaps: switch out candles, add a stack of seasonal books, or bring in a small tray with fresh florals. Bonus points for a fun ceramic catchall or sculptural accent.
Add a Statement Rug or Swap a Runner
A rug is one of the biggest visual elements in a space. Try a fresh pattern, color, or washable option to give your room a seasonal reset. Even a new hallway runner can change the energy of your whole home.
Bring the Outdoors In with Fresh or Faux Greenery
Plants are the easiest way to energize a room. If you’re not a plant parent (yet), faux stems in a big vase bring the same visual freshness with zero maintenance. Go for eucalyptus, branches, or seasonal blooms.
Switch Up Art or Wall Decor for a New Perspective
You don’t have to redecorate an entire wall—just update a piece or two. Swap winter prints for sunny photography, abstract color, or vintage finds. Even a small art change can shift the entire feel of a room.
Refresh Your Lighting for a Softer Glow
Mid-Century Modern Globe Table Lamp
Lighting sets the entire mood of a room—and small tweaks can make a big difference. Swap harsh overhead lights for warm, layered lighting using table lamps or plug-in sconces. Even switching to a softer bulb temperature (think 2700K) can instantly make your space feel cozier and more welcoming.
