Spring in Sonoma County brings longer days and a little more energy. This is the season to breathe new life into your home with simple, low-cost updates that feel fresh and intentional.

• Swap pillow covers, not the pillows
Light cotton or linen covers instantly update your space. Keep the inserts—just change the outfit.

• Clean and rotate rugs
Vacuum thoroughly or spot clean. Flip or rotate area rugs to help them wear evenly and feel refreshed.

• Bring in fresh flowers

Harvesting flowers from your yard or picking them up from Trader Joe’s is a great way to bring beauty and life into your home. Once you have your flowers, consider using a vintage vase to display them. The combination of fresh blooms in a vintage vase can create a charming and timeless look that enhances any room.

• Store off-season items

Store away heavy throws and dark accents, but ensure you cherish the items you keep. Avoid packing away anything that doesn’t bring you joy; instead, consider donating or hosting a garage sale.

• Look for unique touches
Thrift stores and estate sales are great for vintage vases, bowls, or ceramics that add charm without the big price tag.
