Love Your Home: How to Refresh Your Home's Interior in the Winter Months

Tyra Douyon • Mar 04, 2024

As winter comes to a close, now is the time to refresh your home’s interior and prepare it for spring. Your list of home decor changes may seem daunting, but not when you live at The Heights or Patton Crest, Fairin Realty’s for-lease communities in Alabama, where residents live maintenance-free! All landscaping services are included, so you have more time to add the personal touches and design upgrades you want to the inside of your home. Redecorating for seasonal changes can be easy this year when you use our trending tips to add character to your living area and implement these spring interior design changes in the weeks ahead!

Home Features Worth Investing In New Paragraph

There is nothing like coming home after a long day and curling up on the couch or in your favorite armchair for the evening. Your new single-family home gives you enough space to spread out and add furniture and decor pieces that showcase your distinctive style. You can have a house for rent near Birmingham that includes: 


  • Up to two stories
  • 3 Beds 
  • 2.5 baths
  • Private garage and driveway 
  • Fenced backyard with turf


This is an incredible deal for a for-lease community like
The Heights, which is close to downtown Birmingham, UAB Medical Center, and all the city's shopping, dining, and recreational activities. And it’s the perfect house for an interior refresh in springtime.

Elevate Your Home with Cutting-Edge Lighting Design

Winter days may be shorter and gloomier, but that doesn't mean your home has to feel dim and dreary. At our rental communities, the light fixtures are new and upgraded, so you won’t need to make any expensive changes. Instead, consider adding soft, dimmable lighting fixtures like table lamps, floor lamps, and hanging lights to create a bright atmosphere and a memorable decor feature. Alternatively, wax or electric candles and string lights offer a warm glow that gives your home a comforting appeal.

Transform Your Space with Natural Textiles and Luxurious Textures

To refresh your home at The Heights or Patton Crest, incorporate soft, plush textiles such as throw blankets and cushions to create a cozy, relaxing area in the spacious living room. Opt for this year’s trending warm hues like beige, terracotta, and olive green to add depth to the bedrooms and achieve a modern design look. Layering luxurious textures like faux fur and velvet can upgrade each room and wow guests. Integrating natural materials like clay pots, bamboo, jute, and wicker gives that extra detail of outdoor charm and celebrates the new spring season in style.

Celebrate Nature Indoors with Houseplants

Bring the beauty of nature indoors! Each home in our Alabama neighborhoods includes several windows so you can place some of spring's most beautiful blooms, like azaleas, bromeliads, and orchids, inside your home. You can also research houseplants that provide healthy living benefits. Peace lilies and rubber plants help purify the air in your home so you, your family, and your guests can breathe easier throughout your space. Low-light plants that thrive in any environment, like snake plants, ZZ plants, and bamboo, can be placed in areas with fewer windows. 


Bonus Tip:
Many residents at The Heights and Patton Crest move to the community because we have pet-friendly features, including fenced dog parks, a doggy spa, and no-breed restrictions! Research whether or not a plant is pet-friendly before bringing it into your home to keep your furry friend safe.

Get Spring Cleaning Finished Early

As you refresh your home's interior decor, take the opportunity to declutter your space. Clear out unnecessary items from closets and shelves, organize cluttered areas that are often overlooked, like mudrooms and “junk drawers,” and for an eco-friendly option, consider donating well-kept furniture and decor pieces you want to remove but can still be used by someone else. A clutter-free home looks more appealing and feels calm and welcoming. This makes your new spring interior design the centerpiece of each room, not the unwanted items. 


With a clean, clutter-free home, you’ll be able to appreciate the open-concept living space we include all the better! These houses at Patton Crest and The Heights are great for residents who want to live in a new single-family home with a contemporary layout. When you live in these neighborhoods, you’ll be able to host guests and join in on the fun with a
living area and kitchen that have no barrier walls. We did the hard work for you by providing a great foundation in a home that works for you!
