MAKE IT CUTE

Nothing says spring quite like a room refresh. Clearing out your closet and sweeping away the dust bunnies is great, but why not spruce up your space with decor that feels, well, authentically you? Whether you’re dreaming of a Parisian adventure or a beachside retreat, one thing is clear: Pretty much anything on your Pinterest board can become a room vibe—the more niche, the better.

Cotswolds cottage

If your wildest dreams include rambling about the English countryside and coming home to a cuppa, channel your cottagecore aesthetic. Gingham and lush blooms are the name of the game.
