There’s something about spring that makes me want to refresh everything - my wardrobe, my home, my mindset. After months of hibernating under blankets and sipping endless cups of tea, the change in season feels like a chance to reset. But after tucking away my big coats, thick throws, and warm bedding, my house feels a little too sparse, and definitely in need of some colourful flair. With a few swaps here and there, I am able to achieve the freshness and fullness I crave while keeping things light and comfortable.
Reset & Recharge: The Loungewear Refresh
Spring is all about embracing softness and ease. I'm not quite ready to give up the cosiness of my chunky winter jumpers, but I definitely need something lighter to lounge around in. And after a long day, there’s nothing better than slipping into one of my Sherpa Fleece Onesie from OHS. On warmer days, I prefer one of our raved about hoodie blankets - equally as snug, but breathable and easy to take off. Of course, our hoodie blankets are a year-round staple. A recent favourite of mine is the Leopard Print Hoodie Blanket, which I happily receive compliments on on a regular basis. I recently invested in the Braided Fleece Hoodie Blanket as well, which I tend to break out when friends come over for a cosy evening in - still cosy, still warm, but the unique texture elevates it a little in my opinion and the lighter construction makes it more breatheable as we approach summer. With a huge range of prints and impressions available, there are countless options for kids and adults alike to refresh your essential cosy wear.
No loungewear refresh is complete without the little extras. Our Heart Fluffy Fleece Socks keep my feet toasty, and when I want something even cosier, the Teddy Sherpa Reverse Slipper Socks are a dream. There's nothing worse than having to reshuffle because of small discomforts when it's time to unwind. Simple swaps like these make my relaxation time much more effective at recharging my battery for the next day.
Soften Your Space: The Home Comforts Edit
Once your wardrobe is sorted, it's time to bring that same fresh feeling into your home. A small update, like new bedding, instantly makes a room feel refreshed. Our Frill Edge Duvet Cover Set adds a subtle elegance, while the Tufted Arches Duvet Cover Set creates a soft, dreamy aesthetic. Swapping out heavier winter layers for breathable fabrics makes a space feel lighter and more inviting. Each time I change out my bedding, I also rotate my cushions and throws to match the vibe I'm going for. This creates a whole new home for me and gets me excited to tweak things and completely transform the place. When seasons start to change, I always have the urge to rearrange my furniture in a completely new composition - we're currently on shuffle number 4, if you can believe it. Changing my soft furniture satisfies that part of me and takes less than half of the effort!
In the living room, spring is all about cosy pops of colour. Throwing an OHS Ultra Soft Stripe Print Throw over my sofa does exactly that, while the Tassel Sherpa Fleece Throw in Sage is perfect for those still-chilly spring evenings. A few new cushions (like the Matte Velvet Stripe Cushion Covers currently on my wish-list, for example) add texture and a plush feel that'll make any space extra welcoming.
Finishing touches make all the difference. Rolling out the OHS Decor Arches Pattern Rug brings warmth underfoot, while swapping in the OHS Frill Voile Curtains in Beige softens the space with a gentle, calming light. Finally, lighting a White Linen candle fills my home with a fresh, clean scent that instantly lifts my mood and signals the start of a zen evening.
The beauty of these small swaps is that they don’t require a huge budget or effort. These are simple, thoughtful changes that make a big impact. Whether it’s upgrading my loungewear to make relaxation even better or softening my space with fresh bedding and cushions, these little updates bring comfort and joy to everyday moments.
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be about scrubbing floors or decluttering every drawer. Sometimes, it’s just about giving yourself and your space the comfort you deserve.
