As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, there’s no better time to refresh and revitalize your home. Spring cleaning isn’t just about dusting and decluttering—it’s about creating a fresh, inviting space that reflects the beauty and renewal of the season.
At Perkinson Homes, we believe that a well-maintained home is a happy home. Whether you’re tackling deep cleaning, organizing your spaces, or updating décor, spring is the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into your custom home.
Start with a Deep Clean
Winter often leaves behind dust, dirt, and clutter, making a thorough deep cleaning essential. To get started, focus on key areas that need extra attention after months of indoor living.
Refresh Your Floors and Carpets
Over the winter months, carpets and rugs collect dust, pet dander, and debris from heavy foot traffic. A deep carpet cleaning or a professional steam treatment can restore freshness and remove allergens. For hardwood or tile floors, mopping and polishing bring back their shine and luster.
Wash Windows and Let the Light In
Spring is all about natural light, so give your windows a proper cleaning inside and out. Wipe down sills, remove dust from blinds, and swap out heavy winter drapes for lighter, airy curtains that brighten up your home.
Declutter and Organize
Spring cleaning is the perfect time to reassess your belongings. Go room by room, sorting items into categories: keep, donate, or toss. Organized spaces feel more open and inviting, making your home a sanctuary for the new season.
Revitalize Your Kitchen and Bathrooms
Deep Clean Kitchen Appliances
Your kitchen works hard year-round, but spring is the ideal time to give appliances a deep clean. Scrub the inside of the oven, descale the coffee maker, and wipe down the refrigerator shelves. While you’re at it, check expiration dates in the pantry and refresh your food storage.
Upgrade Linens and Towels
New, crisp linens and plush towels can instantly elevate a bathroom or guest space. Swap out heavier winter textiles for fresh, light, and airy materials that feel luxurious and clean.
Clean Out and Reorganize Cabinets
Take everything out of your kitchen and bathroom cabinets, wipe down shelves, and get rid of anything expired or unused. Investing in organizational tools like bins, dividers, and lazy Susans can help keep everything neat and accessible.
Breathe New Life into Your Living Spaces
Bring in Fresh Scents and Greenery
Spring is a great time to introduce fresh scents into your home. Light citrus or floral candles, use essential oil diffusers, or bring in fresh-cut flowers to brighten up your space. Adding houseplants or fresh herbs in the kitchen can also purify the air and bring a natural touch to your décor.
Swap Out Seasonal Décor
Say goodbye to heavy winter throws and darker tones and welcome in soft pastels, light neutrals, and airy textures. A few simple swaps—like lighter throw pillows, breezy curtains, and floral arrangements—can instantly give your home a springtime feel.
Rotate and Clean Furniture
Move furniture around to refresh the flow of a room and vacuum underneath to remove dust buildup. Consider steam cleaning upholstery and polishing wood surfaces to keep everything looking pristine.
Don’t Forget Your Outdoor Spaces
Refresh the Front Porch and Entryway
Your home’s entrance sets the tone for the entire space. Sweep off the front porch, clean outdoor furniture, and add seasonal flowers to create a warm, welcoming entryway. A new doormat or fresh coat of paint on the front door can also make a big impact.
Power Wash Patios and Walkways
Outdoor areas accumulate dirt and grime over the winter months. Power washing patios, driveways, and walkways will make your home’s exterior look as fresh as the interior.
Prepare Your Outdoor Living Spaces
If your home has an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, or lounging area, now is the time to clean and refresh these spaces. Wash patio cushions, wipe down furniture, and ensure everything is ready for spring entertaining.
Enjoy the Fresh Start
Spring cleaning isn’t just about making your home look good—it’s about creating a space that feels fresh, inviting, and ready for the new season. A clean, organized home can enhance your mood, improve functionality, and bring a renewed sense of peace and comfort.
At Perkinson Homes, we understand that your home is more than just a place to live—it’s a place to thrive. Whether you’re refreshing your décor, organizing your space, or preparing for outdoor entertaining, a well-maintained home allows you to fully enjoy the beauty of spring.
