Spring is a time for a new beginning, allowing you to get rid of all the clutter from the winter and breathe in the fresh air that spring brings. Spring is a great time to start fresh and reenergize.
This blog will explore how to harness the power of spring to revitalize your entire life. From your wardrobe, to your home, to your garden, you’ll learn about ways to use this energy to rejuvenate every aspect of your lifestyle. There are many ways to celebrate the arrival of Spring. We’ve put together some practical and fun ideas to help you enjoy it.
Organize your Spring and Summer Wardrobe
One of the first things to do as the cold weather begins to fade is to organize your wardrobe. It’s time to say goodbye to the thick layers of winter, and welcome lighter fabrics, bolder prints and brighter colors that spring brings. Spring is the best time to organize your wardrobe if it has become cluttered.
Take everything out of your wardrobe and decide what you want to keep and what you don’t. Donate or sell clothes you haven’t worn for over a year or that don’t fit anymore. Clearing out your closet not only allows you to create more space, but also allows you the opportunity to discover pieces you may have forgotten and love.
Assess what you need for spring and summer. Consider lighter fabrics like linen, cotton and airy materials that will keep your body cool. Spring is the perfect time to bring some colour into your wardrobe, whether it’s a bright dress, a blouse with a pattern, or new accessories such as scarves and caps. Consider bringing out items that were tucked away over the winter such as skirts and shorts.
When it comes time to store away your winter gear invest in some practical storage solutions. This will keep your wardrobe well organized. Target and Big W offer a variety of storage solutions, including plastic bins, hangers, and vacuum-sealed bags. It is easy to vacuum-seal your bulky winter clothing and keep them in great condition while saving valuable closet space. This will ensure that all your Spring and summer items are easily accessible and neatly organized.
Donating your old clothes to a local charity is a great way to get rid of them. Donations are accepted at the *Salvation Army Family Store* on Malop Street. This can help you to declutter and benefit those who are in need. Giving your items a new life and supporting your community is easy when you donate. To learn more about the donation process, you can call them at 52215828. You might find a hidden treasure in their collection of affordable, second-hand clothes.
Refresh your Living Room
After you’ve updated your wardrobe for spring, it’s now time to focus on your living room. The space in which we gather to spend time with family and friends should reflect the vibrant energy of Spring as we enter the new season. It’s time to update your living room decor with new textures, colours and accessories that reflect the spirit of the season.
Changing the accessories in your living room can be a great way to update it. Consider replacing heavy, dark throws with lighter, brighter alternatives. Fabrics such as linen, cotton and velvet can add texture and sophistication, while floral patterns and pastel colors can instantly brighten your space. Market Square’s Adairs has an amazing selection of bedding, cushions, and throws that will help you create a Spring-inspired environment. The collection features a variety of textures from soft linen to luxurious velvet, with florals and patterns inspired by Spring.

Alfresco Dining is a Must!

Or, you can simply drink wine with friends on your patio. To enjoy alfresco eating, you need to create a comfortable and inviting space where you can relax.
Update your outdoor furniture. Clean and refresh the outdoor seating area if you haven’t done so already. Add cushions, blankets and decorative items like lanterns and string lights to the area to make it feel more inviting. Shops like *Bed Bath & Table* and *Myer* have a large selection of stylish outdoor décor that will enhance your experience.
