Budget-Friendly Ways to Refresh Your Home for Spring

March 13, 2025 · In: Home, Lifestyle

Last weekend we had to spring ahead on the clock – which means the start of spring is inching closer! I am so ready for sunshine and warmer temperatures. But I also need to bring my home back to life after a dull winter. Today I wanted to share with you some budget-friendly ways to refresh your home for spring!

I’m gonna share some of my favorite ways to spruce up your space that won’t cost you a fortune. As much as I’d love to buy all knew home pieces for each season, it’s just not practical. So take my advice and make these changes instead.

Custom pillow covers. Ways to refresh your home for spring.

1. Colorful Pillow Covers

Chances are you have couch pillows that stay the same throughout the year. Mix things up by grabbing a new set of pillow covers to spruce up your space! I love these ones from Amazon. But of course you can look at higher end brands like The Inside depending on your budget.

2. Fresh Lighting Options

Lighting can really change a space! Having a variety of lighting in your home can be the perfect way to switch things up, especially throughout the year as daylight changes. While it may not be practical to get an electrician out to fix your lighting, you can get some no-wiring options to make your space feel cozy. I love these cordless lamps, but I’ve also seen so many people install cordless sconce lights which is affordable and renter-friendly! You can even get rechargeable lightbulbs if you want to put a lamp somewhere you can’t access power.

3. Coffee Table Books

If you’ve been here a while you know I love a coffee table book! I love that they can be styled in so many spaces, they’re a great conversation staters, and no matter your interests there’s something for you. Some of my favorites I own include Gray Malin: Dogs, The Crown In Vogue, & More Beautiful.

4. Add An Ottoman

I love an ottoman. I feel like you can never have too many and they can work in unsuspecting places. While this could be one of the more pricey tips I share, if you buy the right ottoman you will use it for years! And at the end of the day, this is more affordable than all knew furniture. I am obsessed with the x-benches we have from The Inside. But if you’re looking to be a bit more economical, I love these ones for a coastal vibe.

5. Feature Fun Artwork

Artwork is one of the easiest ways to refresh your space as it can go literally anywhere! Whether you have blank wall space or you want to spruce up your kitchen backsplash – you can find the perfect piece for the occasion! Some of my favorite art in our home comes from Simply Jessica Marie, Match South, and Messy Heart Studio. All of which sell super affordable and chic prints!

I hope you all enjoyed this home decor post! I love decorating my home and am always looking for more way to customize it. I hope this inspired you to refresh your home for spring. Be sure to follow along on Instagram if you’d like to see more home related content.

Cheers!

Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️ But Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️

But with overcast skies, weather in the 60’s, and no vacations planned until the end of August - it’s hard to pick up the call😅

While we didn’t have the best beach weather last While we didn’t have the best beach weather last weekend, we still managed to soak up some sun☀️🌊

The best part of any beach trip is showering after a long day in the water and throwing on your favorite sun dress with your fresh tan🤍 I am obsessed with this new one I snagged for only $35 - plus the perfect purse to match🐚

Genuinely if I have $1 for every time I’ve been told I “don’t belong in Western PA” - I’d have enough money to move to the southern city of my choosing😂 But seriously - I’ve gotten these comments since I was in middle school! 

I’ve heard it said PA is 10 years behind on fashion👀 I can confirm people don’t understand me or my Lorna Murray hat I bought back in 2022👒

Getting vulnerable for a second: I love creating content and blogging but photographing myself lately, especially on this trip, has been rough for my self-esteem. While curating this post I was second guessing even posting these pictures because I didn’t like the way my body looked. Over the past month I’ve been on a regimen of medications that have thrown my body through a loop have had me not feeling myself. Even a “healthy” diet and daily exercise can’t reverse the side effects I’m experiencing and it’s been hard for me to reconcile that. In this process I’ve been reminding myself I don’t look at others around me or people I follow online and analyze their bodies or looks. 

So this is your reminder that we’re overthinking ourselves more than others are thinking about us. And it’s easier said than done, but give yourself grace through all seasons of life🤍
