How to Update Your Home Decor Throughout the Changing Seasons

Have you ever felt the urge to completely change the layout of a room? Or perhaps the feeling of wanting to repaint or wallpaper your house? Well, you are not alone. Each year many people will spend lots of time, effort, and money on updating their home decor. This is because most people enjoy change, and it can feel extremely refreshing to be in an altered environment. Rather than doing this sporadically, or in one big hit, why not consider subtly changing elements of your home decor throughout the changing seasons? This way you will hopefully have to spend less time, money, and effort in creating that feeling of change, while still benefiting from the alterations within your home environment. Here are a few ideas on how to update your home decor throughout the changing seasons.

Create a neutral base to work from

Anyone who has repainted, or wallpapered a house will be aware of what a mammoth task it is to undertake. Especially if you are somebody who loves the feeling of change within their home. If you are considering changing the decor in your home to match that of the seasons, it would be a rather large task to redecorate four times a year. However, if you can settle on a neutral, and flexible tone to decorate your home with, it will essentially leave you with a blank canvas that you can easily add and remove from. You don’t need to paint everything white, or even one single colour, but if you can create a less busy environment throughout your home on your walls, ceilings, and floors, then it will make the act of subtle decor changes easier, and more impactful.

Research the different seasons

If you are looking for a versatile, expressive, and budget-friendly way of changing your home decor throughout the changing seasons, then it is going to be fairly important to research the different seasons and find out what is unique to them. Something that is commonly known to change with the seasons, is the flowers that you find. Due to this factor, decorating your home with seasonal flowers is an option that you could consider. Not only do flowers change with the seasons, but they also look and smell amazing too. If you are unsure about what flowers appear when, or how to combine a different variety of flowers to decorate your home with, then simply reach out to your local florist as they will have the knowledge, and experience to help your seasonal flower arrangements pop.

Set yourself a budget

If you are somebody who loves DIY projects, decorating, and accessorising their home, then something you should consider doing is creating, setting, and sticking to a budget. If you decide to alter the look and feel of your home according to the seasons then this will make it easier for you to set this budget in several ways. Firstly, you will only have four changes per year, which means you can easily split your budget into quarters. Secondly, as there are only four seasons it means that you will only have a limited amount of time periods where you need to spend money.

Get inspired

If you are feeling stuck when it comes to deciding on how to change the decor to match the seasons within your home, then something you can do is look at what is trending and get inspired by what others are doing online. Online sites such as Pinterest, or Instagram are both great places to start. You will be able to almost endlessly browse through other people’s seasonal decor changes, and create your own mood boards to help you whittle down what your favourite aesthetics are. You can also easily find what is trending for each season thanks to most platforms having search bars, as well as the option of hashtag searches. Online you will find a difference between the summer homeware trends, and winter ones, as well as the autumn and spring aesthetics. If you do not like using online platforms, then you can just as easily do this the old-school way through books, and magazines. However, the latter option is slightly more time-consuming and a little more restrictive. So, if you have access to the internet and are interested in becoming inspired on how to change your home decor with the seasons, then you should check out these sites as they are powerful tools.

Plan out your year

If you want to change your home decor to match the seasons, then something to consider doing is creating a plan for the year. Although the seasons will always stay as spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the way in which you alter your home may change. Each season can sneak up on you without much warning, and if you are not prepared, you may find yourself several weeks into a new season before you get around to deciding what to do with your decor. Like with most things in life, it is advisable to stay prepared and organised. You don’t need to spend much time and effort planning out what you are doing, but if you can spare a few hours to document your ideas for each season, your future self will thank you.

Have fun with it

One goal that you should aim for when it comes to changing the decor within your home is to have fun with it, and for it to be an enjoyable experience. After all, changing the way your home looks and feels is a way of expressing yourself. Each season gives you a chance to convey to others, as well as yourself, how it makes you feel. Nothing is stopping you from making subtle changes to your decor throughout the seasons, especially if it is something that you are passionate about.

There are many other ways in which you can combine your love of DIY, and home decor alterations with the seasons. However, why not try out some of these ideas?
