HAS SPRING SPRUNG?! OAKVILLE HOMES



Bring spring into your home with 10 ways to welcome the season.

Fresh Flowers
Welcome spring by filling rooms with fresh flowers. Whether it's bouquets of freshly cut wild flowers or pretty potted plants, nothing says spring quite like the addition of beautiful blooms.


Tea Party
A fun, casual tea party is the perfect way to welcome the new season. After months of cold weather that has kept you confined to the house, it’s time for a light snack and catch-up with close friends.


A Fresh Coat Of Paint
Give furniture, walls and the front door a spring pick-me-up with a fresh coat of paint. You can choose a vibrant new hue, stick with the tried and true or go neutral with a coat of white.


Back To The BBQ
Welcome spring by treating family and friends to the first backyard barbecue of the season. Clean the barbecue’s internal racks, change the rocks, make sure there's plenty of propane and get back to grilling!


Let The Air In
With the temperature outside heating up, leaving your home's windows and doors open is a pleasing way to circulate some much needed fresh air. If you want your house to smell like spring but are sensitive to seasonal allergens that may come blowing in with the fresh air, scented drawer liners will help recreate nature's most pleasing perfumes. Let the sun shine in with wonderful spring window treatments.

Get Organized
Make sure you have space to welcome spring into your home. Clear clutter from your display areas, closets, drawers and storage spaces and donate, trash or sell unused and unwanted clothing and household items.


Terrific Turquoise
Turquoise is one of this season's coolest colours. A pretty accessory in this vibrant shade is guaranteed to add personality and panache to your home decor. These terrific turquoise finds will let you easily incorporate this cheery colour into your home decor.

Lighten Up Your Linens
Say good night to warm winter blankets and hello to airy spring sheets. Replace heavy bedding with lighter linens that will brighten up the bedroom.


Tend To Your Gardens
Spring is in full bloom whether you lift a finger to help it along or not. Your garden, however, needs some love and care before its true beauty can be realized. Put down a thin layer of compost, trim shrubs and plant tulips and to help ensure a gorgeous garden this season.


Decorate Easter Eggs
A wonderful family-friendly activity, decorating Easter eggs is a seasonally appropriate way to get creative. Plus, they make for fun, unique displays that will brighten up any room in the house.
