Why Every Spring Cleaning Routine Deserves a Fresh Floral Finish
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a drag that you dread every year! Sure, some tasks are, well, less than exciting, and some take up an entire afternoon (and then some). But the results are always worth the effort, especially when you reward your space (and yourself!) at the end with something fresh and gorgeous. Flower arrangements and pretty plants are the move here, as they make our spaces feel complete once the cleaning products have been put away and the mops and dusters go back into storage. At In Bloom Florist in Orlando, Florida, we have tips for making your space sparkle and shine. Then, we’ll help you bring in color and life with your favorite blooms. Trust us, there’s no better way to finish that long to do list!
Refresh and Clean Your Bedroom
Giving your bedroom a spring refresh is as easy as replacing dark, heavy winter blankets with softer, lighter, and floral patterns of spring. But to really refine your bedroom, start by washing your sheets, pillowcases, and bedding. Give your mattress TLC by using baking soda on the parts that need extra love, then vacuuming. Chances are your pillows need to see the light of day, so pop them outside in a sunny spot for a few hours for a natural reboot. Once the wash is done, remake your bed with fresh, clean spring linens and fluff everything up like it’s brand new (which it kind of is). Finish the job by sweeping the floor, not forgetting under the bed and in the corners. Then, clean the windows to let the light of spring shine through and hang sheers to replace winter drapes.
Relax and Refresh Your Bedroom with Flowers
Want your bedroom to feel like a spring sanctuary? Start with flowers. Place fresh blooms on your nightstand so their scent helps lull you to sleep. Tulips bring spring joy to your windowsill or dresser, while ranunculus adds that artsy, layered texture with gorgeous pops of color. For an easy, grounding element, add a snake plant by your sliding glass doors. It’s low-maintenance and helps purify the air. The goal here is creating a space that feels calm, personal, and full of fresh energy. With flowers and a little greenery, your room becomes where you recharge, reset, and breathe deeply.
Reorganize and Declutter Your Kitchen
Spring is calling, and your kitchen needs a refresh. First up: ditch the gadgets collecting dust. Be honest: if it’s not pulling its weight, it can go. Then move to the pantry. Check expiration dates and clear out the things you bought but never actually touched. Now, towels: you probably have at least two that are ready to be reused, so give them new life as cleaning rags. Finally, it’s time: fridge and freezer reorg. Take everything out, toss the older items, and scrub those shelves. Once you have a blank slate, organize it in a way that makes the healthy food easier to grab. It’s about making daily life smoother, and it’s satisfying knowing your fridge is spic and span.
“Spark Joy” and Reorganize Your Kitchen with Flowers
We all spend tons of time in our kitchens prepping, cooking, and cleaning, but once the space is organized, there’s room for making the space feel as curated as the rest of your home. If you have a spot on the counters, a vase of roses elevates the vibe and brings color and fragrance that complement the delicious meals you whip up. For a burst of sunshine, sunflowers are a great go-to, super harmonious with food-oriented areas (hello, sunflower seeds and oil). Both of these blooms up the cheer level, too. If you need to keep the counters clear, trail a pothos plant over the top of your cabinets for a welcome burst of greenery that draws the eye upward. They’re also low-maintenance, a bonus for the busy chefs in the house.
Refine and Purify Your Bathroom
Since the bathroom is often one of the smallest rooms in our homes (and maybe a bit overlooked), don’t neglect it while spring cleaning, as it can go a long way in transforming your home! Trade your winter scented hand soaps, lotions, and candles for something light and sweet, like citrus, lavender, or other spring scents. Swap your winter towels, bathmats, and shower curtains (the whole set) to create a cohesive spring look. Choose pastels or vibrant spring motifs to welcome the warm weather and sunshine, whichever suits your personal decor scheme. Do the same with wall art, which should complement the color palette and invite seasonal spirit. And if needed, adjust any storage spaces to accommodate the changes you’ve made to refine your home’s most intimate space.
Freshen Up and Refine Your Bathroom with Flowers
Another beautiful and elegant way to welcome the spring season is with an arrangement of flowers for your bathroom. Display calming and graceful blooms by your sink, on a shelf, or in a stand for added freshness and naturally pleasing scents. Select stems based on your light level, but orchids are often an excellent and elegant option, either as blooming plants or fresh cut in a vase. Plants are also great for bathrooms as they can thrive in humid spaces. Snake plants and peace lilies are recommended, though succulents work on super sunny windowsills. Throw in a floral-scented soaps and candles and you’ve created your own spa sanctuary.
