It’s Spring… Kinda. 7 Ways to Refresh Your Reno Home Without Leaving the Couch (Because, Snow)

Reno weather has jokes. One day it’s 60 and sunny, the next it’s snowing sideways. So while we’re all mentally in spring mode, the weather hasn’t quite caught up. But here’s the good news: you don’t need perfect weather to start fresh at home.

Here are 7 easy, indoor ways to get your space spring-ready—even if the only thing blooming right now is your allergies:

1. Ruthlessly Edit Your Junk Drawer
It’s time. We both know there’s at least one drawer in your kitchen that holds 27 pens, 12 keys to nowhere, and a rogue AA battery. Ten minutes, a trash bag, and a sense of purpose—you’ve got this.

2. Give Your Houseplants a Pep Talk (and Maybe Some Water)
If your plants have been barely hanging on through winter, now’s a great time to repot, trim the dead stuff, and give them some attention. Don’t have plants? Grab a pothos. Impossible to kill and makes your space feel alive.

3. Swap Out Your Throw Pillows
Not groundbreaking, but very effective. Even switching from dark, heavy fabrics to lighter ones instantly changes the vibe.

4. Reclaim Your Entryway
Winter boots and salt-crusted everything? Bye. Toss down a new rug, hang up a few hooks, and make that first step inside your home feel like an intentional choice—not a coat explosion.

5. Make a Spring Soundtrack
Yes, this counts as refreshing your space. Music shifts the mood—especially if you’re stuck inside. Bonus: you can listen while knocking out the rest of this list.

6. Build a “Stormy Day Sanctuary”
Designate one spot—a chair, a corner, whatever—where you can read, drink something warm, and pretend the weather outside isn’t chaotic. Cozy blanket + good lighting = instant peace.

7. Make a “When It’s Finally Nice Out” To-Do List
Deck updates, power washing, planter boxes… jot it all down now so when the sun finally sticks around, you can hit the ground running.

Thinking about a spring refresh or getting your home market-ready?
Let’s talk about what updates make the most impact in today’s Reno market. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
