The days are getting longer, the air feels lighter, and we all crave fresh, new-season energy. And what better way to bring that spring magic indoors than with flowers?
If you’re ready to declutter, brighten your space, and add floral joy to your home, here’s your ultimate spring-cleaning refresh—Great Lakes Living style.
1. Start with a Deep Clean
If you’re reading this, it’s time to stop avoiding it and schedule your annual spring declutter. It seems like a big task now, but your home and your energy will feel so refreshed once it’s done, trust me! Here’s how to clear out the old energy. Open the windows, let in the fresh air, and tackle those neglected corners of your home. Pick up the small piles of laundry around the house . . . (we all have them), and do a full deep clean! If you’re really feeling spunky, separate your heavy winter coats and clothing and put them away for the year to make space for your upcoming Spring and Summer wardrobe. We’re onto sunnier days! Try our Spring Simmer Pot recipe to really set the mood! Your home will be sparkling andsmelling like a spring garden in no time.
2. Refresh Your Entryway with Flowers
Your entryway sets the tone for your entire home, so let it feel like a warm spring welcome! Add a bright and blooming Great Lakes Living bouquet from Meijer to your entry table or console. Pair your flowers with a fresh candle and a vase that matches your spring aesthetic. Tag us on Instagram in your stories! We love to see how you style your bouquets and vase arrangements.
3. Bring Flowers Into Unexpected Spaces
Sure, flowers in the living room are a given, but let’s not stop there. Next time you’re grocery shopping at Meijer, stop by the flower department and grab a few spring bouquets, a vase arrangement, or a Smile Bag, whichever product catches your eye, and place flowers, bedside table, your bathroom, the kitchen, or even your guest bedroom. Give this a try, and let us know what you think!
4. Set the Table for Spring Vibes
This next tip will make you feel like you have your life together and allow you to turn your dining room table into a spring statement piece. (If you already do this, tag us in your spring tablescapes!) First, decide your spring aesthetic; next, choose a few items like placemats, table runners, napkins, etc. Add flowers and candles, and get creative with a DIY tablescape to last through the season. This will be especially cute if you’re hosting Easter brunch this year! If you need some inspiration, check out our Floral-Inspired Spring Tablescapes on Instagram and Facebook.
