There’s something super satisfying about a clean home: the scent of fresh air, the clear countertops, the chaos finally tamed. But spring cleaning is also about creating a curated space you really want to spend time in, which means it’s not just about dusting and mopping. At Shirley’s Flower Studio in Bentonville, Arkansas, we believe the final touch comes with blossoms and greenery. Once you’ve finished the hard work, it’s time to style your space with color, texture, and a little nature in the form of pretty bouquets and hearty plants. Think of it as a reward for your home and for yourself that rounds out a job well done.

Refresh and Clean Your Bedroom

Spring’s on the line, and your bedroom’s ready for a refresh. Start by washing your sheets and pillowcases (yes, all of them). While the laundry’s spinning, give your mattress a spa day with baking soda on any spots that need a boost. Vacuum, then turn to your pillows: pop them outside for some sun-restoring love. Once everything’s clean and crisp, switch out heavier blankets for light, floral-patterned bedding that’s got new season energy. Fluff it all up like you’re prepping a bed-and-breakfast, then sweep the floors. Don’t skip under the bed (dust accumulates there), and clear those neglected corners. Clean your windows, then hang breezy sheers to let the sunshine in.

Relax and Refresh Your Bedroom with Flowers

Walking into your bedroom should envelop you in calm, but if it still feels a little “meh” post-cleaning, flowers might be the fix. A lush arrangement or blooming plant brings in that spring freshness you’ve been craving. Flowers naturally lift your mood, chase off any leftover winter blahs, and even help with better sleep and air circulation. Add tulips for instant cheer and that first-spring-day feeling, or go for ranunculus if you want something full of gratitude energy. Your space should support your rest and reflect your personality, and these few intentional stems can shift how you feel every time you walk in.

Reorganize and Declutter Your Kitchen

Let’s get that kitchen glowing! Work from the top down; wipe down upper cabinets, reorganize your pantry, and make space for what you actually use. Next, purge the gadgets and utensils you forgot you owned. Retire stained towels and broken tongs while you’re at it. For counters and sinks, mix up a vinegar and lemon solution for a natural clean that smells fresh. Don’t sleep on the fridge and freezer, as they’re probably overdue. Toss expired stuff, and while it’s empty, give it a full wipe-down. Then restock smart. Keep produce in view and treats tucked away. Small changes mean better choices. Plus, you’ll actually want to open your fridge instead of playing food Tetris every time.

“Spark Joy” and Reorganize Your Kitchen with Flowers

We spend an abundance of time in our kitchens, whether we’re cooking meals or reheating last night’s leftovers. Once it’s decluttered and polished, add a little beauty to balance all the practicality. Roses invite elegance, color, and a gentle scent that makes the space feel luxe, even if you’re just making something simple. For a big, bold statement, go with sunflowers. They’re warm, commanding, and feel right at home in a food space. Need to keep counters clear? Add a pothos to high spaces and let it trail down like a little green waterfall. It’s low-maintenance and makes your kitchen feel alive. It all goes a long way in turning your kitchen from a workspace into a place that feels fully yours.

Refine and Purify Your Bathroom

Your bathroom might be on the smallish side, but it’s where your mornings start, so don’t skip it during spring cleaning. First, switch out those winter-oriented candles, soaps, and lotions for something that smells like sunshine. Mint, bergamot, or even a soft floral summons the right mood. Then update your linens and mats to match your new theme. Choose soft pastels or bold spring patterns, whatever feels most you. Finish with a little wall art to tie it all together (even a small piece can totally reset the room). And if you’ve added new decor, take a minute to reset your storage. Get rid of what’s not serving you and make space for the things that are.

Freshen Up and Refine Your Bathroom with Flowers

Bathrooms were made for blossoms! Add a vase of colorful blooms near the sink, tuck a pot of orchids on a shelf, and use a small stand for extra floral display space. Orchids bring elegance and do well in steamy areas, but if you prefer greens, ZZ and snake plants are low-fuss and love the humidity. If your bathroom gets sunlight, add a succulent or two to the windowsill. Finish it off with a floral candle or a bar of pretty soap, and the room will feel like a boutique hotel bathroom.

You’ve done the cleaning, now let’s make it complete. Flowers and plants bring your space to life and give it that fresh, calming energy spring is all about. Head to Shirley’s Flower Studio for the best blossoms in every color, and let your home breathe, bloom, and feel ready for the season.
