Spring Refresh: 8 Easy Pieces for your Home

Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home with a simple refresh. Just like nature, our homes deserve a little renewal too! As bulbs bloom and nature wakes up from hibernation, I love treating my home with the same rejuvenation — don’t you? With just a few tweaks here and there, any space can feel revitalized and ready for the season. These are the tips and tricks I use and share with clients when we talk about styling. It’s all about those little details that can truly transform a space and give it a fresh perspective. And remember, you don’t need to break the bank on new furniture to make a space feel special.

Textile Updates

Revitalize your home with simple textile updates! Think pillows, throw blankets, quilts for beds, or even tablecloths for your kitchen and dining table. These small changes can make a big impact with minimal effort. Try discovering new patterned quilts that you can switch out seasonally, like this charming twill bedcover I stumbled upon. A bedroom refresh feels so good!

As for your dining area, explore the variety of beautiful tablecloth options – they can instantly elevate your space for everyday use. And let’s not forget about pillows – they’re like magic for sprucing up your bed and sofas. This might be the simplest way to switch things out seasonally, and there are some very cost effective options to be discovered. Just a few new patterns or textures can completely transform the vibe of a room. 

 

Lighting Refresh

Whether it’s adding a new table lamp, incorporating a sleek floor lamp, or switching out an overhead fixture, lighting can truly transform the ambiance of your home. And, if you’ve been following along with the blog, you know how passionate I am about the power of lighting! It’s not just about functionality – it’s about creating a cozy and elevated atmosphere that brings joy every time you step in the room. I’m all about creating lived-in and intentional spaces, so any chance I can incorporate unique and vintage-inspired lighting, I’ll take it. This season was made to illuminate your space with warmth and charm.

Accent Furniture

Accentuate your space with unique accent furniture! Ever considered how a simple addition like a side/coffee table in a new finish or color, or a vintage chair or stool tucked in a corner can completely alter the vibe of a room? Of course, let’s not overlook the underestimated power of furniture rearrangement. While Derrick might not always be thrilled about it (sorry, Derrick!), it’s undeniably a game-changer. Repurposing furniture for new uses in different rooms adds a touch of excitement and creativity to your space. So, think outside the box, and turn that console table into a desk. Or, move that chaise from the living room to the foot of your bed. Trust me, with a little exploration and innovative thinking, you’ll find endless ways to give your home a breath of fresh air without a huge shopping spree.

Table Setting Simplicity

There’s something truly special about setting the table – it’s the anticipation of gatherings, conversations, and delicious food shared with loved ones. While it may not drastically transform the feel of your space, this little refresh brings a sense of joy and warmth that’s hard to replicate. My recommendation here is to invest in pretty new plates, serveware, or glassware. Those little touches that bring you happiness will undoubtedly elevate your gathering. Plus, even the most basic meals feel extraordinary and romantic when served on special pieces! Picture a rattan pitcher filled with refreshing drinks, a ceramic taper holder to set the mood, and scallop embroidered placemats adding a touch of flirty elegance to your table. It’s these small details that turn everyday moments into cherished memories.

There’s something so special about finally getting to share a project that’s been years in the making. We we started designing #OhHeyHighlands, we knew this home was going to be something unique—a space built for hosting, gathering, and living well. And now, seeing it come to life feels like flipping the last page of a book we’ve poured our hearts into.
This project is everything we love about design: thoughtful details, natural materials, and a focus on how the space actually feels for the people living there. It’s designed to celebrate their lifestyle, their traditions, their people. That’s the magic of a good home-it’s not just beautiful to look at; it’s beautiful to live in.
Sharing this feels like a little love letter to what we do. It’s why we started Clouz Houz-to create spaces that don’t just work but feel like home. I hope this tour inspires you, whether you’re planning your dream home, refreshing a single room, or just soaking in the details.
So, what do you think? Are you as in love with ‘Oh Hey Highlands’ as we are? Let us know your favorite part-because, trust me, I can’t pick just one.
A hint at what’s to come at our #OhHeyHighlands project.
Stay tuned for the full reveal dropping this Wednesday, December 11th!
This little project started as a “how can we make this work” moment and ended up being one of my favorite parts of our bedroom. Isn’t it funny how sometimes the solutions you create out of necessity end up feeling the most rewarding?
Our actual closet is... let’s just say, less than spacious. We needed more storage. So, we flanked the bedroom doors with these Ikea cabinets and went to work turning them into something that felt purposeful. A little trimming, a splash of paint, and suddenly it’s like they were always meant to be here. It’s the kind of project that reminds me why I love what I do—design isn’t about how much space vou have; it’s about how you use it.
And can we talk about those pleated drapery panels we had made with one of my favorite patterns from @kettlewellcollection. They’re such a small detail, but to me, they are what makes it all feel special. The @rejuvenation hardware was just the cherry on top. I always say, “Invest where it counts,” and let me tell you, good hardware counts.
This whole process has me thinking about how design is really just problem-solving with style. It’s about asking, “What do I actually need?” and then finding a way to make it beautiful. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to work for you.
Telling your home’s story is our specialty. We listen intently to our clients about their dreams and wishes with their new homes. And what we have learned through the years is priceless. Good design isn’t just how it looks, but how it makes those that live there feel. And while one client may desire the flashy home suited for hosting corporate gatherings, while another desires a cozy family home that is perfectly suitable for their immediate family’s needs. Whatever their desires may be, our job is taking those functionality requirements and turning it into something beautiful and 100% authentic to them.
Clouz Houz was born with the desire to bring our knowledge and hands on experience with our own homes and investment projects to help others realize the power of creating spaces that are uniquely them. We’re not just designing spaces—we’re helping you tell your story. A story that’s meant to be lived in, not just looked at. A story that’s messy, full of love, and always evolving. Just like life itself.
