After spring cleaning, kick your home refresh up a notch by bringing in fragrant, blooming spring flowers that instantly make everything feel more alive. There is something so satisfying about finishing the last wipe down and then adding that final touch that makes your space feel styled, not just clean. Fresh flowers do that in seconds, and the benefits of spring blooms and houseplants really are hard to beat. They brighten up even the darkest corners, add color where winter leaves things a little dull, lift your mood the moment you see them, and make your home smell amazing in a way that feels natural and effortless. Many popular houseplants also help improve indoor air quality, so your space can feel fresher all around, not just on the surface. Here at Robertson’s Flowers, the premier florist in Philadelphia, we know that a spring refresh is all about those little upgrades that make a big impact, and flowers are the easiest way to get there. Whether you want a simple bunch on the kitchen counter, a statement arrangement for your entryway, or a few green plants to keep the fresh feeling going, the right choices can take a room from ordinary to extraordinary. Below, we are sharing a few quick tips to spruce up your space for spring, plus the flowers and plants we love most for the season, so that you can bring that clean, bright, just-refreshed feeling into every room.
Refresh and Clean Your Kitchen
After months of winter cooking, the kitchen is ready to feel lighter, brighter, and fully refreshed. Begin with your appliances, especially the ones that keep everything running day to day. To deodorize your dishwasher naturally, pour a few cups of white vinegar into the bottom and run a high-temperature cycle. Next, take a moment for the details that are easy to overlook, starting with your knife block. Soak it in warm water with one tablespoon of household bleach for two minutes, then set it aside to air dry completely. Wrap up with a clean, crisp finish by wiping down appliance exteriors and counters, then sweep the floor, slightly dampening the broom to capture fine dust that tends to linger.
Tips for Refreshing Your Kitchen with Flowers
Adding a vase or two of fresh spring flowers to your kitchen will brighten and revive the whole space. Place flowers on your countertop or dining table. Add a plant as well for a fresh pop of greenery. The sweet fragrance and pleasing colors will turn your kitchen into a glamorous and chic place to hang out. From quintessential spring tulips with incredible hues to the refreshing scent of eucalyptus highlighted in a stunning spring arrangement, you cannot go wrong.
Reorganize and Declutter Your Bathroom
Decluttering is the secret to making any bathroom feel instantly more serene and creating a spa-like retreat. Start by removing everything from countertops, shelves, cabinets, and drawers so you can give the entire room a proper reset. Once everything is out, clean and sanitize surfaces, organizers, and drawer liners. As you put items back, be selective, keep your everyday essentials within reach, and store the rest neatly so the room stays tidy. Toss expired makeup, skincare, and medicines, and donate unopened extras if you have a place that accepts them. Repurpose worn towels into cleaning cloths, so your spring refresh remains practical, not wasteful.
Tips for “Sparking joy” and Reorganizing Your Bathroom with Fresh Flowers
Add a few fresh plants and flowers to the countertops and windowsills to transform your bathroom into a beautiful, tranquil space where you can truly relax. Gerbera daisies symbolize cheer and bring bright, colorful petals that instantly lift the mood, especially in smaller bathrooms that need a little personality. Sunflowers add warmth and happiness with their unmistakable sign of positivity and optimism, and even a single stem can make the whole room feel sunnier. For greenery that practically takes care of itself, add a peace lily. It’s low-maintenance, loves the natural humidity in a bathroom, and can help purify the air, which makes the space feel fresher and more serene. Bringing Mother Nature into your bathroom is easy and creates that clean, elevated spa effect.
Refine and Spruce Up Your Bedroom
Reorganizing your closet and wardrobe can make a bedroom feel instantly calmer and spark joy, but a truly restful space takes more than a purge. Feng shui is a helpful framework because it prioritizes balance and a sense of ease in the room. Start with the space under the bed. Keep it clear, or store only soft, intentional items, such as extra sheets or pillows. Avoid papers, books, and forgotten clutter, since that kind of storage tends to bring mental noise into your sleep space. Next, focus on the bed’s placement. For an ideal setup, position your bed so you can see the door clearly and easily without having the foot of the bed facing it directly. If you can, avoid setting your headboard on a wall shared with a bathroom, and do your best not to sleep under windows or vents that can feel drafty. Finish by clearing your surfaces and choosing decor, photographs, and artwork that feel peaceful, grounded, and aligned with the mood you crave after a long day.
Tips for Refining Your Bedroom with Blooms
Bring spring elements into your bedroom by placing a plant near the window and adding fresh, colorful spring blooms to your dresser or nightstand for an uplifting, rejuvenating touch. This simple step creates a stunning, tranquil retreat for rest, with Mother Nature providing a calming, colorful presence. For blooms, we love roses and hyacinths, both of which symbolize love and renewal, or hydrangeas, which balance serenity and style. To finish with an elevated touch, add orchids for refinement and strength.
