4 easy ways to bring Spring into your interiors

At Cover My Furniture, we know how much of a difference the seasons can make – not just outside, but inside too. Spring is all about lightness, colour and a fresh start, and after a long winter, it’s only natural to want your home to feel just as bright and breezy.

That doesn’t mean a full renovation either! More often than not, it’s the little changes that make the biggest difference. A few thoughtful swaps here and there – whether it’s the colours you choose, the textures you bring in, or even the fabric of your fitted sofa covers – can help lift the space and welcome in the new season.

So if your interiors are still feeling a little too wintry, don’t worry. We’ve pulled together four quick and easy ways to help your home feel lighter, fresher, and ready this spring!

1. Bring the outside in

There’s something about spring that makes everything feel more alive – and bringing a bit of that energy indoors can really give your space a lift. A few simple touches, like fresh tulips on the coffee table or a leafy plant on the windowsill, can make a big impact. You don’t have to go overboard, either – even just one or two natural elements can breathe new life into a room.

Not so great with keeping plants alive? No problem. Fake greenery or dried flowers are just as effective and won’t need any watering. To take it a step further, pair those natural accents with soft furnishings in botanical shades. We’re talking pastel cushions, light throws, or new settee covers in a soft blue like our Signature Herringbone in Sky or purple like our Luxury Cotton Weave in Blush – perfect for that just-stepped-outside feeling, without leaving your living room.

2. Let the light in

We don’t know about you, but after months of what felt like never-ending darkness and grey skies, the spring sunshine feels like a breath of fresh air – so let it in wherever you can. Move furniture away from the windows, clean the glass inside and out, and think about swapping heavy curtains for something lighter that lets the sunshine filter through. It’s a quick win that can instantly make a space feel bigger, brighter and more inviting.

To make the most of all that extra daylight, try softening your colour scheme. Lighter colours help bounce natural light around the room – and fitted sofa covers in shades like cream, soft grey, or sage green can really brighten things up. It’s a subtle shift but it’s one that can completely change the mood of your space.

3. Switch to lighter fabrics

Spring isn’t just about changing how your home looks – it’s about changing how it feels, too. That means trading in heavy, wintry textures for something a bit lighter and airier. Think breathable cotton, cool linens, and crochet that feel easy and effortless. It’s a small seasonal change, but it can make your space feel far more comfortable as the weather warms up. Your furniture’s the perfect place to start. So switch out those chunky winter cushions, throws and rugs and swap in something lighter!

4. Refresh your colour palette

Spring is a great excuse to get a little playful with colour. As everything outside starts to bloom, why not let your interiors do the same? Soft greens, pretty pastel yellows, dusty pinks, and fresh sky blues are all great for bringing that laid-back, spring vibe into your space. And don’t worry – you don’t need to completely redecorate. Just adding a few pops of colour here and there can make a world of difference.

Another super easy (and practical) way to refresh things? Settee covers! Swap out those dark, wintery hues for something a little lighter and brighter, and voilà – instant update. Plus, with our made-to-measure fitted sofa covers, you can protect your furniture and give your space a fresh new look. You won’t even have to worry about them getting dirty. Just take them off, pop them in the wash, and they’ll be as good as new!

Whether you’re already feeling inspired or just starting to think about your spring refresh, these simple changes can make a real difference without the need for a full-on home makeover.
