The first day of spring is Tuesday, March 20th! The Cavalier Court Blog is here to help you get your apartment ready for the season with a few tips and ideas. Read on to find some tips on how to get your Fairfax, VA apartment ready for spring.
Declutter Your Apartment
During the winter, it is normal to spend more time indoors, but this can often lead to an increase of clutter in your apartment. Clean up the clutter and make your space feel more breathable. Put your winter clothes, blankets, and snow gear into storage until next winter.
Add Spring Colors
While you are putting away your winter gear and decor, bring out spring decorations in pastel colors. Swap out your heavy winter drapes for light, airy curtains. Set out festive spring throw pillows and light throw blankets to replace those warm wintery ones.
Clean Carpets, Rugs, and Floors
Winter can leave your apartment feeling stuffy, but as the weather warms up and spring starts to move in, a great way to eliminate the stuffiness is to deep clean all your carpets, rugs, and floors. Remove any ground-in dirt, get rid of any stains left by dirt or tracked in mud, and shake out all the dust from any rugs.
Clean the Windows
Now that the weather is no longer freezing, go ahead and crack open a window. Wash those windows so they once again let the light shine in. Spring is here and the sun has returned! You’ll be amazed by how much cleaning the windows and letting the spring air and some light into your apartment lifts your mood!
Add a Houseplant
Get a houseplant and add it to your apartment to bring a little life inside your home. The greenery will be a welcome addition, and watching the plant grow and sprout will both surprise and fascinate you! Not to mention, the plant will help you breathe easier with the oxygen it produces and releases into the air.
