1. Apply a set of magnetic decorative hinges to your garage to give it a serious aesthetic upgrade without breaking the bank. Talk about curb appeal.
2. Beautify the plain walls in your kitchen with some sheets of peel-and-stick subway tile backsplash. It'll give your kitchen a more finished look, but without the price tag or permanency of the real thing.
3. Now that the days are getting longer, make sure your bedroom isn't flooded with light before you're ready to wake up, thanks to a set of beautiful room-darkening velvet curtains. This small change will make a big visual impact, and give any room in your abode an instant upgrade.
4. And if you want to refresh your window treatments but you're stuck with those vertical blinds that landlords don't let you remove, try a set of NoNo Brackets that cleverly snap onto your existing blinds so you can hang your own curtains.
5. Keep an upholstered storage ottoman in your living room to store stuff like candles, blankets, and more. The lid can be flipped over to create a table, which is great for those of us who have limited space.
You can see it in action in this TikTok video.
Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N.
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in seven colors).
6. Give your stairs an entirely new look with a set of removable tile decals. They come in a roll just like tape, so you slap them on your risers and — boom! — you're done.
7. Now that the nights are getting warmer, hang some Edison bulb string lights in your backyard to illuminate all those late night hangout sessions. It's called ambiance, people!
Promising review: "I have ordered four boxes of these light sets now. I love love love these lights. When they arrived, I plugged them in while in the package to make sure they all worked. Then I unscrewed all the bulbs to make it easy to hang. I hung them up all around my balcony using a staple gun. When I finished I screwed the light bulbs all in :) I would highly recommend these lights. They are PINTEREST perfect!" —Cora
Get it from Amazon for $13.56+ (available in three sizes, three colors, a pack of two, and two multicolor packs).
8. If you've been avoiding getting a sofa because you're not comfortable spending thousands of dollars on one, consider this futon with a price range that starts at $228. Plenty of reviewers remark that it's majorly cute as a couch and comfortable enough to get a good night's rest on when it's folded down into a bed.
9. Create a rainbow wonderland with some prismatic window film — plus it'll provide you with some privacy thanks to it being semi-transparent. It clings to the glass without any glues or chemicals, and can be easily removed and reused multiple times.
10. Rid your home of marks and stains with a hard-working jar of The Pink Stuff. From grease on your cooktop to crayon on your wall, this miracle product will make sure it's gone. Because who said spring cleaning had to be difficult?
11. Touch up your walls, doors, trim, cabinets, and more with a bottle of multi-surface touch-up paint. The 12 colors available are the most common paint colors you'll find in rentals, and you can use the brand's free color-matching tool to determine which of the colors match your bathroom walls.
If you're unsure of what color to get, I highly suggest you use the brand's free color chart tool to help you determine which is the right match for your walls.
Soto is a small business based that makes paint touch-up kits.
Promising review: "I decided to try this to cover up some of the chips of missing paint in my kitchen. It works perfectly. The bottle is a little bigger than a tube of Wite-Out, but it's going to last me a long time. The paint went on smoothly and dried quickly. I am very happy with this product." —JMar
Get it from Soto on Amazon for $18.95 (available in 24 colors).
12. Frame a printable Wi-Fi sign with a custom QR code so you don't have to try to remember your router name and password every time a new person comes over. All guests have to do is scan the code with their phone and voilà! They'll have instant internet access.
13. Stuff all those thick winter blankets into a faux-leather pouf to create a gorgeous place to sit or rest your feet. It comes flat, so you can create your desired firmness by adding as many blankets or other soft goods as you see fit.
14. Line the back of your television or computer monitor with a USB-powered LED light strip so movie night at your place feels like you're at an actual theater. The glow isn't just mesmerizing, it helps reduce eye strain by minimizing the contrast between the bright light of your screen and the darkness of your room.
15. Use a pack of melamine cleaning sponges to rid your doors and walls of all that winter buildup that you can see now that the snow and rain have cleared. Reviewers call them "magic" for a reason!
All you gotta do is wet and swipe!
Promising review: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long term lease/residential rentals and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty and these cut right through it. They work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" —Keisha Marie
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $13.25.
16. Dress your bed up with a tufted headboard if you want the look of a brand new bed frame but aren't ready to shell out the big bucks for the whole shebang.
17. And then upgrade your bedding situation with a set of buttery soft microfiber sheets. The thread count is 1,800, which means you'll feel like you're floating on a cloud every time you lie down. Even better: they're wrinkle-, moisture-, and fade-resistant.
18. However, if you want to change up your bedding but without creating a completely new look, try a set of satin pillowcases that not only look great but are wonderful at preventing hair breakage. The ultra-silky material is nonabrasive, so it'll be soft against sensitive skin, too.
19. Tuck a small writing desk into a corner of your room or under a window so you finally have a dedicated work space. There's even a side pocket for extra storage.
20. Consider swapping out old cabinet pulls in your bathroom or kitchen for something that's more contemporary, like these black matte-steel cabinet pulls. If you rent, put the old ones in a shoebox or bag under the sink so you can swap them back in when it's time to move out.
21. Show off your favorite books with a hidden bookshelf that mounts directly to the wall. Books as art? Yes please!
It works by holding the cover of the bottom book, and comes with all necessary hardware (including drywall anchors) — making installation a breeze!
Promising review: "These are my favorite decorating item ever. Purchased four years ago in medical school. And have held up over many moves." —Susan Giampalmo
Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes, two colors, and sets of three).
22. Pack away your bulky winter clothing via some under-bed storage containers. Reviewers swear you can fit up to four of these under a queen bed.
You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in six colors).
23. Create an organized closet with some custom wood clothing dividers that separate garments by type. Now when it's time to find that one shirt or skirt, you just need to go to that section of your closet to find it.
Cilpa is an Etsy shop that provides awesome handmade modern and mid-century-style organizers and home decor such as book dividers, vinyl organizers, towel holders, and more.
Get it from Cilpa on Etsy for $7.80/each (available in two colors and 11 styles — dresses, jackets, etc.)
24. Keep a few flower pillows nearby in case you have guests over and need the extra seating, or if you need a little cushion on your desk chair.
25. Attach a cloud-shaped magnetic key holder to the wall near your front door so you never forget where you put your keys. This is waaaaay better looking than that dusty bowl on your entry table!
See it in this TikTok from @favonlinefinds!
Promising review: "This is the cutest way to hold keys ever! And it was mad easy to install: peel and stick. I don’t know how I ever survived just using a hook instead of this cute magnet cloud. Excellent housewarming gift too. I now take it with wine as a gift for any friends/family moving." —Clemmie C.
Get it from Amazon for $6.98.
26. Dogs shed the most in spring and fall, so get yourself a rubber broom that'll easily sweep up the pet hair embedded in your carpet. Now your carpets will look brand new!
It also has 68,000+ 5-star reviews on Amazon!
Promising review: "I bought this broom two years ago and it is still going strong! I have four large dogs and we have fur EVERYWHERE! This works so, so well! I am always amazed at what this picks up even after I just ran the vacuum. If you remove the head from the handle you can use the head to do in all the crevices along baseboards where fur gets trapped on the carpets. I also use it that way to do the carpet corners on the stairs. Lastly, I use it to get dust and cobwebs off the floors and ceilings. It truly is a super tool." —Roseann
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
27. Design the fridge of your dreams with a set of fridge organizers. Now everything will have a place, and it'll be so easy to find exactly what you need.
These organizers also have handles so you can pull them out easily.
Promising review: "Great for organizing. Bins are clear so you could easily see what you have and what you need. These are a perfect addition for my refrigerator to keep items organized and within reach. They are sturdy and will last a long time. Very easy to clean. Will recommend this." —Deepika
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes and in packs of two, four, six, or eight).
28. Hang some solar-powered hummingbird wind chimes outside to add a bit of whimsy to your outdoor space. During the day it's a beautiful sculpture that makes sweet sounds, and at night it glows wonderful colors.
29. Speaking of outdoor space, keep an oversized blanket on hand when you want to host everything from impromptu picnics to outdoor yoga in your very own backyard. Reviewers say it's "super soft" and "not scratchy at all."
30. One of the easiest ways to give your living space a refresh is through soft accessories like pillows and throws. Consider this 100% cotton boho throw for draping over sofas and chairs.
31. Use a set of five glass bud vases to show off a few stems of beautiful flowers. These are small enough that you can arrange them on a coffee table or window sill without taking up too much space — perfect for those of us who love fresh flowers but don't have a lot of square footage in our homes.
32. Add some bohemian vibes to your space with an eco-friendly, machine-washable rug. Literally washable rugs are a dream, especially if you have pets or little ones in the house.
33. Make old furniture look new with a budget-friendly DIY project. Use this damask-pattern peel-and-stick wallpaper to add new life to an old dresser or nightstand.
34. Give your gorgeous wine glasses a home of their own by installing an under-cabinet wineglass holder. Now they'll be on display instead of hiding away in a cabinet.
35. Make an old and tired piece of furniture look completely different with a coat of chalked paint. The finish will give it a distressed look that's similar to antique pieces.
36. And add a splash of pattern to your kitchen's floor with a vinyl floor mat that looks like eclectic tiles. Vinyl is the perfect material for kitchens because it's really thin (aka you won't trip over its edges) and very easy to clean.
Hurry! Quick! It's time for your home's spring refresh.
