I offer a Plan to refresh your living spaces to welcome Spring into your home. Typically home dwellers will start with Spring cleaning but also recognize the need to adapt their colour scheme and re-organize visible and highly used spaces starting with decluttering. Plan starts at $149 CDN and includes a Free - no obligation - Discovery Call to identify your needs. In the meantime, here are some tips to get started:
As Spring 2026 is upon us we need to lighten up let the Sun shine in and reconnect with Nature
Consider a window treatment with lighter breathable fabrics to allow better air flow
Assess the IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) in your rooms after dust is removed. Too many electronic gadgets in one space has adverse effects on how we feel and function. Air purifying plants such as Boston Ferns and Golden Pothos are simple solutions.
Eliminate visual clutter in high use areas such as entrances, kitchens and home offices. Keep the most useful items well organized and easily accessible to work areas. This keeps clutter to a minimum
As this is the season to repaint your interiors, be certain to use low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints.
A seasonal change in carpeting to a natural fibre option such as jute and hemp will also help to lighten the space
Adjust your rooms for new colour energy to uplift and improve mood. Simple changes include introducing bright and warm colours from the red colour family including orange and yellow accents and accessories in colour quantities you find suitable. Balance can be achieved with green and blue. Tablescapes for entertaining are an opportunity to experiment.
A time to be creative. Curate your art and prints and add new content to you gallery wall,
Be sure to connect to the outdoors with gardens, balconies and patios. Think about creating a healing garden with healing plants such as lavender.
Plan will include written report and a shop list of relevant products to complete your project.

Yellow & spring ‘26

Yellow is associated with Spring, a time of renewal and hope. Daffodils will pop up and the Sun, giver of life moves closer in northern countries. It is a time of rebirth and celebrated with Easter. It is interesting to note that in earth medicine traditions, Yellow is seen as an earth element and the direction is East, where the sun rises each day.
Yellow is also associated with happiness, think of smile emojis in texts and social media posts.
There are several ways to enliven your spaces with Yellow from the subtle to the more dramatic. When thinking of Yellow as a bold pure hue, also consider its expression in tints, tones and shades. Will you want to group yellow with adjacent harmonies such as green and blue or go for energetic colour contrast working with violet and purple? Here are some ideas as you begin to contemplate how Yellow will apply to your living spaces. Make notes as you begin your research. (For those who use pen to paper, have you considered that a yellow lined pad will help you focus and aid memory?)
Yellow in floral arrangements and gardens to welcome the new season
If subtlety is desired, experience a paint for interiors which is creamy with a comfortable yellow undertone,
Bold, gold accents can be realized in accessories such as picture frames, table accents etc.
Gemstones with various colour energies can be part of the design scheme such as gold, citrine and amber
You don’t need to “see” Yellow in your space to enjoy its benefits. Also providing healing colour rays when diffused into the subtle atmosphere are organic essential oils such as lemon, basil, sandalwood, birch, bergamot and more. Corresponding houseplants such as basil will also provide this experience.
Finally, if Yellow is your favourite colour, you belong to that colour family and I would love to offer you a personalized colour analysis…
