Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter. But let’s be honest… by the time February rolls around, we’re mentally done with winter anyway.

So instead of waiting on the weather to change, this is the perfect time to start preparing for spring. Because whether the temperature agrees or not, spring is coming — and we can start living like it now.

This is the in-between season where we:

  • Refresh our homes

  • Reset our closets

  • Declutter our spaces

  • Lighten up our routines

Here’s how to get ahead of spring — and the biggest trends you’ll be seeing everywhere this year.

🌼 1) Spring Home Refresh Trends

This year’s spring home vibe is:
light, airy, natural, and cozy — not cluttered.

Trending now:

  • Soft pastels (sage green, blush, butter yellow)

  • Florals in small touches (pillows, wreaths, table dĂŠcor)

  • Natural textures (linen curtains, woven baskets, light woods)

  • Fresh greenery and tulips everywhere

You don’t need new furniture. Just small swaps make your home feel brand new.

👗 2) Spring Fashion Trends You’ll See Everywhere

Closets are getting lighter too.

Trending for spring:

  • Lightweight cardigans and shackets

  • White sneakers with everything

  • Simple gold jewelry layers

  • Crossbody bags and easy outfits

  • Neutrals mixed with soft color pops

Think: effortless, comfy, put-together.

🧼 3) The “Spring Reset” Everyone Is Doing

Before spring even hits, people are:

  • Decluttering closets

  • Organizing drawers

  • Deep cleaning kitchens

  • Swapping to fresh scents and linens

  • Resetting routines and goals

It’s less about cleaning and more about starting fresh.

🌿 4) Outdoor Spaces Are Becoming a Vibe

Even if it’s still chilly, people are prepping:

  • Porches with new mats and planters

  • Patios with rugs and string lights

  • Backyard spaces for sitting, not just mowing

  • Garden beds getting ready for planting

We’re craving outside time.

☀️ The Mindset Shift

Groundhog or not… this is the season where we start feeling hopeful again. Lighter. Motivated. Ready.

So while winter hangs around a little longer, we can:

  • Dress like spring

  • Decorate like spring

  • Clean like spring

  • Think like spring

Because that’s really all we can do — and honestly, it’s the fun part.

Spring is coming. Let’s be ready for it.
