Freshen Up Your Space this Spring

We don’t know about you, but there’s something about a shift in seasons that fires us up to give our home a refresh.

In autumn and winter, we focus on creating a cosy space – adding plush cushions and gorgeously fleecy throws to our lounge. Of course, we switch floral and fruity home fragrances for the comforting smell of sweet cinnamon or vanilla, too.

When the weather warms up, we’re ready for that all-important spring clean. With that, we’re keen to freshen up our home in general – introducing a host of new decorative items to each and every room.

To give you some inspiration for spring/summer, we’re sharing with you our top, seasonal picks from the Love Lumi site. Read on…

There’s no easier way to add a spot of colour to your space than with smaller, decorative items like candles and candle holders.

This personalised pink and amber vegan wax candle is no exception. In a perfectly pastel pink, it can be printed with the name or message of your choice – and for under £20 it makes a great treat to yourself or a beautiful gift for someone else.

 

When spring cleaning commences, where do you start? For us, it’s the kitchen – always! So, why not overhaul those cabinets and get rid of long-expired tins of food too? If you want to follow the TikTok trend of adding pasta, oats and everything in between to transparent cannisters and labelling them up like a pro, go for it!

Why not decant your olive oil into this gorgeous, vintage-inspired bottle? Trust us when we say it’ll look much more aesthetically pleasing on your worktop than a supermarket-branded, plastic one.

How about a personalised, heart-shaped wooden cheese board, while you’re at it? You may like to keep your worktops minimal – and that’s fine.

Consider keeping only the appliances you use out on show, hiding the clutter to ensure an orderly space. Tidy home, tidy mind!

If you’re a fan of a rustic, farmhouse look, you won’t go wrong with this board. It also makes a perfect gift for a cheese-lover; add some brie, a big chunk of cheddar and some chutney and wrap it in some cellophane. Now, just wait for their big cheesy (sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves!) grin when you hand it to them.

 

Once you’re into the swing of decluttering and rearranging your kitchen cupboards, you won’t be able to stop yourself. So, you’ll probably want to add this family wall planner to your space too. After all, there’s nothing quite like a new season to spur you on to make some changes – in your space and your life.

 

Vow to get more organised in general, by adding key dates in everyone’s busy work and social lives to a planner that has your lifestyle written all over it.

There’s one for any gym bods amongst you, and even one for your kids to plan their week at school – or their homework. Brilliant!
