Spring Renewal

Even seasons can get their own atmospheric design if you are so inclined to celebrate the change. Each year as they come along you can adjust your aesthetic to inspire your work.

The Season

The spring season is upon us and though the weather may not always show the sunny warmer days we crave after a long winter; we can still enjoy the sunny days that do show between the ”April showers”. We’ve begun to put away our winter gear, not quite ready for shorts (unless you’re my kids) and t-shirts. Though we are definitely ready to enjoy without hats and mittens, watching the renewal of the earth.

Winter has now made it’s way into spring and the trees are starting to bud. Lighter jackets abound as you see more spring decorations pop up along with fruit drinks, s’more flavors, and regular favorites of chocolate and caramel. More grill cooking, picnics and other outdoor activities are being planned, but it’s always good for a nice quiet park read.

Renewal

Spring is associated with the word renewal due to the renewed earth as things come back from a long winter to provide new growth. The revealing of winter’s barren land as the earth begins it’s renewal process, gives us hope for something better, fresh and new. As the warmer days promote new growth, you awake to the sound of birds returning (if you’re in the north) to a new, more green land.

The fresh green land brings about new inspiration; a creation of exploration as those that were kept inside now begin to venture out. Reveling in the new creation that’s now emerging from the winter depths; hiking, picnic, fishing and more like a new adventure in the warmer days.

Set Up Your Spring Renewal Atmosphere

Now that we’ve discussed the importance of this spring season, let’s see how you can set up your atmosphere to fit. 

Away From Home

This may not be as easy to accomplish unless you plan to stay somewhere and are indoors, but there are some little things you can do to take your atmosphere with you. Many places you travel too will have some spring type decorations already, so you may not have to do much or anything at all when going out to have the right atmosphere.

If you want to add a bit more you could dress the part with adding spring decorated clothes, jewelry and more.

You can also get in the right state of mind by purchasing foods and drinks that go along with the season and scents you love. Coffee shops are great for providing chocolate, caramel, s’mores, and fruit flavored concoctions. 

In the Home

Within the space of your home, including your backyard (if you spend time outside during this time) you can do quite a bit more. You can get a bit more creative or go as simple as you want with your set up. Some items you can add are an array of flowers, honey, bees, small trinkets for the activities you love to do during the spring, and more. 

Using incense, candles or oils can bring in the wonder scents of s’mores, burning wood, flowers, fruits and more depending on your preference of scent and what will assist in creating your spring renewal atmosphere. 

Another way to provide a spring renewal atmosphere and get the right scent along with taste is to make recipes that will create the aroma you are looking for. Not to mention, eating or drinking the delicious recipes you’ve just made. Skinny Mixes has a great selection of syrups you can add to any recipe or drink for the flavor you’re looking for. *Not an affiliate link, just love the flavors they provide!

Plan Your Space

This is your space (unless you are going away from home, of course) so you can make it as spring friendly as you want. Go crazy or keep it simple, your preferences count. 

If you want to keep it simple, but add a bit of spring flare, you can add a bouquet of your favorite flowers or colored lights to the room. This will keep things simple, but add just a little bit of a change to inspire you. 

If you want to do a bit more, have at it. Decide what items you want and where. Make the space comfortable and encouraging, while keeping your senses in mind as you plan. 

Remember you basics as well, you don’t want to forget anything as you move from place to place or while you are setting up. Keep hydrated and take care of yourself during this season, take breaks when you need them and don’t forget snacks!

Final thoughts

Remember you don’t need to go crazy and create an elaborate space to get the atmosphere you wish to have. A little can do a lot to create the right atmosphere for your goals during this time.
