Kelly’s Easy Ways to Freshen up Your home for Spring

Smell: Set the Mood with Signature Scents

Scent has the power to instantly shift your mood and set the tone for your home. One of my favorite ways to welcome spring is by introducing fresh, uplifting fragrances throughout the space. Right now, I’m loving the Hotel Collection’s “My Way” — inspired by Hotel 1 in Miami — it brings a touch of luxury and spa-like serenity to any room.

For something lighter and more playful, I use Pura’s Yuzu Citron or Cranberry Fizz. Grapefruit is crisp and energizing, while Cranberry Fizz gives that fresh burst that feels just right for the season — and yes, cranberry isn’t just for the holidays!

These subtle scent changes make your space feel clean, elevated, and completely refreshed.

Sight: Lighten Up with Fabrics & Color

Spring is all about creating a sense of openness and calm — and that starts with what you see. I recommend refreshing your space with soft, breathable fabrics like linen and silk. These natural textures not only look elegant, but also feel light and effortless.

Swap out darker tones for lighter, neutral palettes — think warm whites, soft blushes, muted greens, or coastal blues. Even small updates, like switching out throw pillows, curtains, or bedding, can completely transform the visual energy of a room.

At Kelly Marie Interior Design, we love using visual texture and tonal layering to create that fresh, clean spring feeling without a full redesign.

Sound: Let Nature (and Music) In

Don’t underestimate the impact of sound in your home. One of the easiest ways to reset your space is simply by opening the windows — let in the breeze, birdsong, and soft hum of the outdoors. It’s nature’s way of refreshing your space for free.

I also love putting on a spring-inspired playlist while I work or unwind. A few of my go-to songs for the season are "Depth Over Distance" by Ben Howard and "Diminuendo, Sweetness" — calming, melodic tracks that instantly bring a sense of ease.

Whether it's light background music or the sound of the wind through the trees, creating a gentle soundscape at home helps deepen the sense of sanctuary.
