Cleaning Is Step One, Styling with Flowers Is Step Two for a Full Spring Refresh
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be your least favourite seasonal ritual. Sure, it takes time (maybe an entire weekend), but once your home is totally refreshed, it’s so worth it. That said, we believe every freshly cleaned space deserves a cute finishing touch. At Ital Florist in Toronto, Ontario, we’re all about bringing in fresh blossoms and houseplants to add that final element. You’ve put away the sprays, packed up the mop, and made your home sparkle. If you love bold colours or calming greenery, we’ve got blooms to help you bring the outside indoors. After all that effort, that’s the exhale your home (and you) deserve.
Refresh and Clean Your Bedroom
Say goodbye to the heavy winter energy and bring in the spring spirit by swapping those dark, thick blankets for lightweight linens in floral prints or pastel tones. But before you style your space, wash your pillowcases, sheets, and duvet cover. While the laundry is going, show your mattress some TLC with a dusting of baking soda on any tired spots, then vacuum as needed. Take your pillows outside for some sunshine therapy (they could use some rays, too). When everything’s clean, remake your bed like it’s a brand-new setup. Fluff it up, layer on the new linens, and throw on the pillows. Then sweep the floor vigorously, notably under the bed, and give those windows a clean. Swap out winter curtains for breezy sheers and let the sunlight pour in.
Relax and Refresh Your Bedroom with Flowers
Transform your bedroom into a Zen oasis with blossoms. Start with a little bedside bouquet so you’ll drift off to the subtle scent of fresh blooms, your own natural sleep aid. Put tulips on your dresser or windowsill to bring that classic spring glow into the room. Equally sophisticated, ranunculus is your floral statement piece. Its colours and patterns pop in any space, bedrooms included. Round it all out with a snake plant by the door, a stylish, low-maintenance green friend that helps clean the air. All together, they create a bedroom that’s calm, curated, and completely you, because your space should look and feel like sweet retreat.
Reorganize and Declutter Your Kitchen
Kick off your kitchen deep clean from the top down. Start with upper cabinets and shelves, wiping every surface with a damp cloth. While you’re at it, ditch the gadgets you never touch. Take stock of utensils and towels, too; if it’s ripped, stained, or collecting dust, it’s time to let go. For countertops and sinks, a lemon and vinegar mix works wonders. Next on the list is the fridge and freezer: toss expired sauces, half-used condiments, and old containers. With it cleared out, give every shelf and drawer a good scrub. Reorganize so healthier food is easy to grab (fruits and veggies up front, snacks and treats tucked away). Small swaps make a big difference. Your future self will thank you when making dinner is so much easier.
“Spark Joy” and Reorganize Your Kitchen with Flowers
We spend so much time in our kitchens chopping, prepping, cleaning, and snacking, so why not make it feel just as styled as the rest of your pad? Once everything’s organized, add a little personality. Roses on the counter or island give things a curated, finished feel while adding a gentle scent that pairs perfectly with whatever’s cooking. If you’re craving something brighter, sunflowers are edible-adjacent and totally belong in food spaces. Can’t commit to flowers on the counter? No worries. Let a pothos vine trail from the top of cabinet spaces. It brings in a fresh pop of green and draws the gaze up, making the space feel taller and more alive. Bonus: pothos are low effort and high reward.
Refine and Purify Your Bathroom
The bathroom might be small, but it’s got big potential, and it deserves a spring refresh, too. Start by swapping out your winter-themed lotions, hand soaps, and candles. Go for spring-ready scents like lemon, lavender, or eucalyptus, something that makes you feel fresh the second you walk in. Switch out those heavy towels, bathmats, and even the shower curtain for lighter tones or fun spring patterns. Pastels? Yes. Floral prints? Go for it. Finish the look with new wall art that fits your updated aesthetic. Even a cute quote or abstract print can bring it all together. If you’ve got storage overflowing, now’s the time to reset those drawers or baskets to fit the new setup.
Freshen Up and Refine Your Bathroom with Flowers
Nothing says spring refresh like adding a bouquet to your bathroom. Whether you pop a vase on your sink or tuck a plant onto a shelf, fresh blooms bring calm energy and an uplifting, natural scent. Orchids are a go-to for that graceful, spa-like element, and they do surprisingly well in bathroom environments. If you’re more of a plant aficionado, snake plants and zz plants tolerate any low light well. Got sun? Succulents are a win for bright windowsills. Pair it all with floral-scented soap or a candle and you have your own little sanctuary. Minimal effort, major mood shift.
A clean house is great, but a clean house with fresh flowers is next level. Plants and blossoms bring in those amazing spring vibes and make your space feel more like you. Wrap up your spring refresh with a visit to Ital Florist. We’ve got all the colours and all the seasonal stems you’ll love.
