Make Your Home Brighter This March!

Spring is just around the corner, but let’s be honest—March still brings its fair share of grey skies. If your home’s feeling a little drab after winter, now’s the perfect time to inject some warmth and brightness!

At Bridges, we know first impressions count—whether you’re selling, letting, or just making your space feel fresher and more inviting. Here are some simple ways to shake off the winter blues and bring new energy into your home this March.

Add a Pop of Colour

After months of grey, colour is your best friend! You don’t need to redecorate—just introduce a few statement pieces. Think bold cushions, a vibrant throw, or a striking piece of artwork to lift the room. Fresh flowers like daffodils and tulips instantly bring a touch of spring indoors, and houseplants not only look great but also improve air quality.

If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, try colour-blocking with accessories—picking out shades from your furniture and soft furnishings to tie the whole look together.

Light It Up

Good lighting can completely transform how a space feels. Swap out harsh, overhead lights for warm-toned bulbs, stylish lamps, or wall lights to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere.

Lamps with soft white or warm LED bulbs help create a more relaxing feel, while fairy lights or dimmable options give you flexibility to change the mood depending on the time of day.

Maximise Natural Light

Even on dull days, you can make the most of natural light. Position mirrors opposite windows to reflect light and create a sense of space, and swap heavy curtains for sheer ones to let daylight flood in.

A well-placed glass coffee table or glossy surfaces can also help bounce light around, making your home feel brighter and more spacious.

Freshen Up Your Space

A deep clean and declutter can work wonders—pack away winter blankets, open the windows, and let the fresh air in. Swapping out wintery, dark décor for lighter textures like linen and cotton will instantly make your home feel fresher.

For an instant refresh, consider adding a lightly scented candle or diffuser—citrus and floral scents work particularly well for a spring-like feel.

Thinking About Moving?

If you’re selling or letting, these simple updates can help your home feel warm, fresh, and full of potential—just what buyers and tenants are looking for!
