Let’s Welcome Spring!
The arrival of warmer days is the ideal time to refresh the living room. With a few simple changes, it’s easy to create a bright, welcoming space that reflects the season. Shackletons shares practical ideas for bringing a spring feel indoors.
Spring Clean: The Starting Point
A deep clean is the best place to begin. Opening the windows, dusting forgotten corners, plumping cushions and moving furniture to vacuum hidden areas helps reset the space. Clean windows, in particular, allow more natural light to flood in, giving the whole room a lift. A tidy, fresh space also makes any updates more effective.
Take a Good Look at Your Furniture
Once the room is clean, it’s worth assessing the furniture. Is the sofa still offering comfort and support, or does it feel tired? In some cases, new cushions or a professional clean can help, but sometimes a new piece is the better choice.
Gorgeous Sofas for Spring
For those considering a new sofa, the Alexander James Summerton from Shackletons. The corner design with an open end is ideal for family time or relaxing with a book, and the Naturalis Denim fabric brings a light, spring-like feel.
Another popular choice is the Alexander James Tod 3-seater in Wild Ivory. Its cheerful, neutral shade works well with seasonal colours, allowing easy updates throughout the year with different accessories.
Coffee Tables That’ll Brighten Your Room
A new coffee table can completely change your living room’s look. The Foxington Coffee Table from Shackletons has handy drawers to hide away all those bits and bobs, keeping your newly cleaned room looking tidy.
For something more natural Carlton Furniture Holcot Coffee Table – the natural wood brings a touch of the outdoors in, which is exactly what spring is all about!
Quick and Easy Accessory Updates
Flowers, Flowers, Flowers!
Fresh flowers like daffodils or tulips bring instant colour and energy to a room. For those who prefer low maintenance, realistic artificial flowers are a good alternative.
Lighten Up Your Fabrics
Now’s the time to put away heavy throws and replace them with cottons and linens. Cushions in soft blues, greens, and pastel shades help bring a seasonal feel to the room.
Let That Sunshine In
Thick winter curtains can be swapped for lighter alternatives, or simply tied back during the day to let in more sunlight. It’s a quick and effective way to brighten the space.
Give Your Living Room a Spring Smile!
Giving a living room a spring update doesn’t need to be expensive or time-consuming. A good clean, a review of key furniture pieces, and a few well-chosen accessories can make a big difference. With quality furniture from Shackletons and a focus on lighter, brighter choices, any living space can feel refreshed and ready for the season.
