The start of every new season calls for an upgrade in your decor. But you don’t have to make major changes to see positive results. Instead, minor seasonal decor updates to your furniture and decor — i.e. decluttering, re-painting the walls, etc. — can truly transform your home and make it feel brand new. The best part? You can tackle your renovation project in as little as a weekend or a few days so you can be ready to start the new season on the right foot.

Quick and Easy Home Décor Updates To Make for a New Season

Updating your home for the new season is easier than you might think. All you need is a little patience and a few seasonal decor items to be on your way to a modern aesthetic that celebrates the new season. To learn how to quickly switch up your decor, here are five seasonal decor upgrades you can make to instantly freshen up your living space.

Refresh accessories and accents.

A super easy way to refresh your living space is by swapping out your decor accents and accessories from the previous season. Take a look at your throw pillows and blankets, area rugs, and even paintings. If they reflect the old season, put them away until next year.

When shopping for seasonal accents and accessories, always, always, always consider the season. For example, for spring and summer, look for lighter, brighter hues, bold patterns, and floral prints. As it relates to fall, you can opt for decor in deep oranges, reds, and browns to celebrate the start of the season. And crisp winter white, silver, and gold evoke a festive, winter spirit.

Rearrange and repurpose furniture.

When it comes to refreshing your furniture, you don’t need to do much. Even just moving your table or chair to a new spot can be an instant upgrade. So to give your space an immediate face-lift, try experimenting with new configurations in each room in your home.

Repurposing your furniture is another great way to upgrade your living space. For example, instead of using your bedroom dresser as is, turn it into a TV console so you can free up floor space plus create a new purpose in an old piece.

Display fresh greenery and flowers.

Adding nature to your living space is one of the easiest ways to upgrade your home for the new season. The great thing about incorporating nature into your home is that there are so many different seasonal plants and flowers to choose from, so you can really get creative in how you decorate. If you have a hard time deciding, succulents, snake plants, and spider plants are great to display year-round.

Hang new curtains.

Swapping out your curtains and window treatments can instantly transform your space. You can even go a step further and switch out your curtain rods and hanging hardware to totally transform your space. And because there are so many window treatment options available — from fabrics to styles — you can take your time in picking out the perfect one for your room.

Paint an accent wall.

When re-decorating your space, a fresh new paint job for your walls can do wonders. Of course, you could always re-do your entire room, but if you don’t have the time to do so, creating an accent wall works just as well. Try deep oranges and reds for autumn, pale colors and neutrals for spring, bright and bold hues for summer, and crisp white, beige and metallics for winter. Not only does incorporating new colors change the look of your space, but the mood as well.
