Spring symbolizes transformation and renewal -- a golden opportunity to breathe life into your living space.
Beyond the routine of spring cleaning lies a transformative experience that can uplift your mental well-being. By decluttering, organizing and deep cleaning your home, you can raise your spirits and instill a sense of peace and harmony.
This is a time to extend a refreshing touch to every corner of your space, from the attic to the sunlit backyard. Embrace the spirit of the season by revamping both your indoor and outdoor areas.
Rejuvenate the interior
Painting truly allows you to personalize your space. You can select colors that reflect your style, preferences and personality, indoors or outdoors.
Selecting paint colors that resonate with your personality can evoke positive emotions. Lighter shades like blue and green promote relaxation and calmness, while bold or bright hues like yellow and orange increase energy levels and boost creativity.
Repainting your surroundings serves as a powerful way to inject new energy into your home. So, how do you know which color to select to reflect your desired feel? Behr experts have a fun discovery questionnaire that will help you decide just that.
It asks a series of questions, starting with figuring out which room you’re painting. Then, it asks how you want the room to feel: Warm and friendly, relaxed and calming, trendy and stylish, bold and dramatic, or versatile.
So, if you want to paint your living room in a way that’s warm and friendly, but also relaxed and calming, it provides you with an array of colors that will do just that.

Set the tone on the exterior
When it comes to the exterior of your home, this is an opportunity to make a first impression by setting a tone for your personal style, as well.
Behr paint experts say a recent study the company conducted showed more than half of homeowners find color selection to be the biggest hurdle when it comes to starting a home exterior project. For that reason, they have some suggestions:
- If you have natural wood siding and want to compliment the two, use earthy tones like tan, green or gray for a warm and welcoming appeal.
- For ranch style homes, you might consider using brown shades that will blend with nature around the house, then add a pop of color – like a blue door – for visual interest.
- If you want to give your home a distinct identity, try a dark blue and light pink color combination that will make a fun and bold statement while showing character and creativity.
- If you have both stone and siding, select colors that compliment both while balancing the overall aesthetic. If brick or stone on the home is on the lighter side, consider darker paint colors like black or deep blue so that the siding and trim will create a contrast.
- A modern two-story home can use warn neutrals and accent colors to create a sophisticated scene that also elevates the architectural style.
In today’s fast-paced world, our homes have morphed into sanctuaries that offer solace and retreat from the world’s chaos. By embracing the traditions of spring cleaning and repainting, you can curate a space that not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also nurtures your spirit.
Your home should be a reflection of your inner self --a place where you can unwind, recharge and find joy amidst the daily hustle.
