5 Ways To Welcome Spring In Your Home

Spring is a season when you need some changes around the house after the cold winter. 
After your spring cleaning you may want some ideas to feel the season's atmosphere and here are some ideas for your space!



Stock up with local fruit and vegetables.

You need your fruits and veg all year round but if you skip them, this is a good time for you to reconsider. The juiciest natural candy will be in season and also leafy greens. 
Visit the  local marker and make sure you buy the fruit and veg in an appropriate amount so no food would be wasted. Also consider storage for them - some veg/fruit need to be refrigerated and others don't. 
                    


Plant seasonal herbs.

Herbs are very useful in the kitchen. Mostly for those who love experimenting with different flavors. Nature is a very good source for the flavors you fancy for your dish. In spring herbs such as basil, chives, dill and lemon balm can be planted.

Plant seasonal blooms.

There are endless flowers you can plant both indoors and outdoors. My favorite would be jasmine but you may think of others such as colorful tulips and daisies. 




Make your own candles with some jasmine, lemon or sweet orange essential oil.

It is very easy to make your own candles - choose your wax (eg. paraffin, soy, beeswax), melt it with steam, add your favorite essential oils and pour into glass containers with the wicks attached to the bottom. In this way you are making your own candles with your favorite scents and oils. And you get to also find some creative containers to use. 




Add some floral prints to your decor.

Any floral decor will help you to get the spring atmosphere. You can find a patterned textile and cover your cushions on the couch, or maybe your bed with new sheets. 




 With simple changes, now you can have spring in your home too.

Enjoy!
