Easy spring hacks for a home refresh

With spring just around the corner, many of us are looking for ways to refresh our homes for the season. Soft pastels, earthy greens and warm neutrals instantly brighten up any room bringing spring into your home. With these simple hacks you can create a bright and inviting space that’s perfect for spring.

1. Do a spring clean in your home office

Home office is a space that can get cluttered and messy fast without proper storage. Upgrade an existing cabinet in your office or purchase a second hand one and upgrade it with some paint, new knobs and legs. You get two in one: a stylish addition to your room and a space to store all the important documents and items you need in your work.
