Bonus Spring Reset: Simple Projects to Take Your Home Refresh Further

After four weeks of decluttering, spring cleaning, lightening, brightening, and organizing your closet, you may be feeling a welcome shift in your home and energy. But if you are still inspired to keep going, this final post is for you. In this bonus instalment, we’ll explore simple, manageable spring reset projects you can do to refresh your space and bring even more calm, joy, and functionality into your daily life.

These extra projects are optional but highly rewarding and will help you maintain the momentum you have already built throughout March.

Project 1: Tidy Up Hidden Storage Spaces

Closets, cupboards, drawers, and storage areas are often the final hiding spots for clutter. Spring is the perfect time to give them attention.

Focus on:

• Linen cupboards
• Under-bed storage
• Kitchen cabinets and drawers
• Garage or utility rooms
• Home office storage

The goal is not perfection but improvement. Remove anything that is expired, broken, unnecessary, or simply taking up space. Organize the remaining items in a way that makes them accessible and easy to use.

Project 2: Refresh Your Home Office or Study Area

For those working from home, homeschooling, or managing household admin, an organized workspace is essential for productivity and peace of mind.

Quick wins include:

• Declutter papers, old notebooks, and unused office supplies
• Create a simple filing system for essential documents
• Store everyday supplies within easy reach
• Add a touch of spring by placing a small plant, fresh flowers, or an inspiring photo on your desk
• If possible, position your desk to take advantage of natural light

A clutter-free, thoughtfully arranged workspace can make everyday tasks more enjoyable and efficient.

Project 3: Organize Children’s Spaces

If you have children, consider taking time this spring to declutter and organize their spaces too. Involve them if they are old enough — it can be a great learning experience.

Key areas to focus on:

• Clothing (outgrown items can be donated)
• Toys (declutter and rotate for freshness)
• School supplies and art materials
• Bookshelves

Make sure that frequently used items are easy for your children to access and put away. Organizing children’s spaces can help foster independence and make tidying up a little easier for everyone.

Project 4: Update Seasonal Decor

After decluttering and deep cleaning, updating your decor is a simple and satisfying way to complete your spring home reset.

Consider:

• Swapping out dark or heavy decor for lighter, natural textures such as cotton, linen, or woven baskets
• Bringing in fresh or faux plants
• Updating throw pillows, blankets, or table linens with spring colors or patterns
• Changing out heavier artwork for lighter, nature-inspired prints

These small changes will enhance the sense of calm and freshness in your home without requiring a major investment.

Project 5: Create a Simple Home Maintenance Plan

Spring is a good time to take stock of your home’s maintenance needs. Rather than waiting for small issues to become big problems, put together a simple plan to address them proactively.

Start by listing:

• Minor repairs needed (leaky taps, squeaky doors, loose handles)
• Seasonal tasks (cleaning gutters, servicing HVAC, checking smoke alarms)
• Any upgrades you would like to plan for (painting, updating a room, refreshing outdoor areas)

Spread tasks across the next few months and commit to tackling them bit by bit.

Project 6: Make Space for Joy and Self-Care

Organizing is not just about tidying; it is about creating space for what matters.

Ask yourself:

• Is there a corner you could turn into a reading nook?
• Could you set up a tea or coffee station?
• Can you organize a small hobby space or crafting area?

These small pockets of joy can make your home feel more nurturing and personally satisfying.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to overhaul your entire home to experience the benefits of a spring reset. Simple, focused projects like tidying hidden storage, updating decor, or organizing your workspace can have a lasting positive effect on how your home feels and functions.

By now, you have made great progress preparing your home for the new season. Whether you stop here or continue with these bonus projects, you will be stepping into spring with more space, more ease, and more joy.

In the coming weeks, you may want to revisit some of these projects or continue to build on them. Remember, organization is not about perfection — it is about creating a home that serves and supports you.
