Re-think how you spring-clean this year and freshen up your home with Mother Nature in mind. From reusing old kitchen towels as cleaning rags to mixing your own cleaning solutions, and, of course, bringing in fresh flowers and air-purifying plants, we have you covered. Whether you need to refresh, reorganize, or refine your home, your friends here at Bosland’s Flower Shop, the best florist in Wayne, have a few new tips to share, as well as our favorite spring blooms and fresh green plants to incorporate in every room of your home.
Refresh and Clean Your Bedroom
Cleaning your bedroom can go beyond vacuuming your rug and tidying your closet and dressers. If you’re looking for the most refreshing night’s sleep, in addition to the traditional spring cleaning ritual, try rotating your mattress and refreshing the bedding. While your sheets and pillowcases are getting a good tumble in the washer and dryer, vacuum your mattress. We also like the idea of sprinkling a little baking soda over any stains or potential causes of odor and letting it sit for about half an hour prior to vacuuming. Toss those pillows and comforter in the dryer as well so the high heat can kill some lingering winter dust and fluff everything back up.
Relax and Refresh Your Bedroom with Flowers
Keep the freshness lasting even longer with a new spring arrangement or a green plant for your bedroom. Tulips are a go-to for spring because they symbolize fresh starts and new beginnings, and their pastel shades instantly brighten up a nightstand or dresser. Hydrangea brings that full, lush look that feels welcoming and abundant, with soft blues, whites, and pale pinks that make a bedroom feel lighter and more pulled together. And if you want that “just cleaned” feeling to linger, add eucalyptus for a crisp, spa-like scent often associated with renewal and a clear mind. As these living, mood-boosting pops of color bring joy and calm, they can also help freshen the air around you, support healthy oxygen flow, and offer a true spring reset.
Reorganize and Declutter Your Kitchen
Spring cleaning is more than mops, brooms, and rags. It’s also the best time to declutter and reorganize your home, including your kitchen gadgets, pantry, and refrigerator. While you remove everything from the cabinets, refrigerator, and freezer, mindfully replace items you know you will use or eat soon, and toss any no-longer-useful tools or expired food. If your goal is to live healthier this spring, you can start by reorganizing your pantry and refrigerator, placing the choices you plan to eat first towards the front for easier reach. Simple changes in placement can make your kitchen feel more put-together and easier to use day to day.
“Spark Joy” and Reorganize Your Kitchen with Flowers
The perfect combination to ease everyday stress or seasonal anxiety is decluttering and a lovely spring flower arrangement. Fresh blooms will always uplift and brighten both your mood and your kitchen decor. And after a day of deep cleaning, bringing home and displaying your favorite spring blooms on your counter or dining table is an unmatched feeling. Roses are a classic choice, with so many spring colors, familiarity, and beauty, they’re a worldwide favorite for a reason. Sunflowers (often thought of as fall flowers) add bold brightness and a grateful, positive, happy energy to your home any time of year.
Refine and Purify Your Bathroom
The changing of seasons is the perfect reason to refine your bathroom with a few easy swaps, like switching to spring hand lotions and soaps, and maybe hanging a seasonal shower curtain with a fresh floral print. Refining your bathroom doesn’t have to be a full makeover. Now is the time to remove all things cold, wintery, and dark and replace them with warm, fresh, and light. Start by clearing off the countertop, then organizing drawers and cabinets so backups and extra products are out of sight. From there, brighten things up by replacing anything that feels cold, wintery, or dark with lighter touches like crisp white or spring-colored towels, a fresh bathmat, and a simple tray or decorative canisters to keep everyday essentials looking curated instead of cluttered. If you have an empty corner, a blanket ladder is a chic way to store extra towels and keep them within reach. (You’ll never be stranded without a clean bath towel again!)
Freshen Up and Refine Your Bathroom with Flowers
While you’re swapping and replacing items with spring things, don’t forget an inspiring arrangement of spring flowers to finish the refresh. Fresh blooms create a welcoming, rejuvenating, and relaxing atmosphere, and they’re a beautiful alternative to synthetic fragrances and aerosol air fresheners. For a polished, spa-like look and feel, try spring stems like ranunculus or orchids for refined spring hues that feel instantly elevated. If you want a little greenery, a trailing pothos is a fantastic option that thrives in humidity and low light and helps keep the air feeling clean. One vase plus one easy plant turns your bathroom from “clean” to “calming.”
