Hi, friends!!

Spring is finally here, and we couldn't be more excited! If you're new here, we're Hanna and Tracey—Mother-Daughter Interior Design Team and Co-Owners of Hanna Mae Design Studio and Birch & Bind. We love all things design, and today, we’re talking about one of our favorite topics: refreshing your home for spring! So grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of iced tea!) and let’s chat about some simple ways to bring in the sunshine.

1. Brighten Up with Light and Airy Colors

Winter is all about cozy, moody tones, but now it’s time to swap those out for something fresh! We love using soft pastels, crisp whites, and gentle greens to create that light, breezy feel. Pro tip: switching out your throw pillows, blankets, or even adding a fresh coat of paint can completely transform your space without a major overhaul.

2. Refresh Your Space with Florals and Greenery

Nothing says spring quite like fresh flowers! Whether it’s a vase of tulips on your dining table or a potted plant in your kitchen, adding a little greenery instantly brings life into your home. And if you don’t have a green thumb (we get it!), high-quality faux florals can do the trick, too!

3. Lighten Up Those Textiles

Say goodbye to heavy blankets and thick curtains—it’s time for breezy, lightweight fabrics! Linen and cotton are our go-to choices for curtains, pillow covers, and even bedding this time of year. They not only look fresh, but they also let in that beautiful natural light we’ve all been craving.

4. Declutter and Refresh Your Accessories

Spring cleaning, anyone?! There’s no better time to declutter and refresh your decor. Swap out deep-toned accents for woven baskets, natural wood elements, and glass vases. Simple changes can make your space feel open, airy, and ready for the new season.

5. Bring in Those Springtime Scents

We always say: a home should smell as good as it looks! Lavender, citrus, and fresh linen are our go-to scents for spring. Try using candles, diffusers, or even a bundle of fresh eucalyptus in the shower (trust us on this one—it’s heavenly!).

6. Blur the Line Between Indoors and Outdoors

One of our favorite things about spring is how it encourages us to embrace the outdoors. If you have a patio or balcony, give it some love with cozy seating, outdoor rugs, and lanterns. Inside, incorporate natural materials like rattan, cane, and raw wood to bring that fresh, organic feel indoors.

7. Refresh Your Table Setting

Nothing feels more “spring” than a fresh tablescape! We love layering light, floral-patterned table runners, pastel dishware, and (of course) a gorgeous floral centerpiece. Even the simplest of changes can completely transform your dining space.

Spring is all about renewal, and even the smallest decor changes can bring that feeling into your home. Whether you're swapping out textiles, adding florals, or decluttering your space, every little touch makes a difference. And remember—your home should reflect YOU, so have fun with it!

If you’re looking for personalized design ideas, we’d love to help! Whether it’s a simple styling session or a full-room refresh, we’re here to make your dream space come to life. Reach out anytime—we can’t wait to work with you!

Thanks for hanging out with us, and happy decorating!
