The perfect way to welcome spring is with a newly refreshed, reorganized, and refined home. This year, trade in the harsh chemical cleaners, rolls of paper towels, and aerosol air fresheners for more eco-friendly options. Your friends here at QG Floral + Landscape / Flowers by Mike, the best florist in Oceanside and East Rockaway, have compiled a list of our favorite spring cleaning tips, hacks, and other ideas to help revive your home for spring. Coming from expert florists, this list would not be complete unless we included our favorite spring blooms with calming, mood-boosting, and purifying abilities.

Refresh Your Kitchen

We don’t know anything better than the feeling of a freshly cleaned kitchen to welcome spring. On the other hand, we know that there is nothing worse than spotting more dust bunnies after we’ve put away our broom. If this sounds familiar, try dampening the bristles on your broom so the dirt and dust have an easier time sticking. Then, grab your vacuum and use the extensions to suck away the dust bunnies for good.

Refresh with Spring Flowers

Freshen up your kitchen with something more than regular cleaning products, and add some green plants and revitalizing flowers to increase oxygen flow and boost your mood. With calming and serene qualities, spring flowers help to ease any lingering seasonal depression as well as the everyday stress of life. Take a look at some popular favorites for your island, kitchen counter, windowsill, or even as a centerpiece on your dining table.

Reorganize Your Bathroom

Reorganize and spruce up your bathroom to give yourself a fresh start to spring. Dig out your aloe and sunscreen, discard expired and unwanted products, and repurpose fraying towels for cleaning towels. Start by rearranging your linen closet while you clean the shelves, then make your way into the medicine cabinet. You might be amazed at what you find.

Reorganize with Spring Flowers

After you have found a new way to organize your skincare products and vanity, it is time to add a small but beautiful bouquet of spring blooms. Whenever you walk into your bathroom, you will enjoy being greeted by lovely scents and adorable flowers. 

Refine Your Bedroom

As our bedroom is the place we go each night to recharge and rest, make sure your space reflects and influences peaceful sleep. If your dresser, nightstand, and visible surfaces are cluttered, it can be harder to clear your head before it falls gently to your pillow. Refine your bedroom by utilizing more wall space and less surface space. Grab your hammer to finally get your artwork and pictures hung on the wall. Make sure your curtains inspire a grand and elegant feeling by hanging them wide and high.

Refine with Spring Flowers

Living plants and spring blooms are perfect for any bedroom decor. With a variety of breathtaking hues and heavenly fragrances, they certainly boost your mood in a calming way. Our favorite flowers for the bedroom are full of life, graceful, and reflective of your personal style.

As winter comes to an end and the spring begins to blossom, say “au revoir” to the dreary and drab. Add a fresh perspective to your home this season with blooms and plants that purify, brighten, uplift, and turn your space into a serene oasis. Here at QG Floral + Landscape / Flowers by Mike, we cannot wait to help you choose the best fragrances and colors, or introduce you to your new favorite floral for each room.
