With the arrival of spring, I want not only to update my wardrobe, but also to breathe new life into my apartment. On March 4, Izvestia was informed by the Yandex Rent service about how easy it is to transform a home space with the arrival of the new season.

First of all, you should think about removing everything unnecessary from the apartment. A special term "cluttering" was coined for this process. It will make the room visually more spacious, the service noted.

"Give things that have not been used for a long time to charity or arrange an exchange with friends. For example, some animal shelters accept blankets, blankets, and towels. Old clothes can be recycled in almost any shopping mall, and some brands even give discounts or purchase bonuses for this," advised Yandex Rent.

Old but valuable things can be given a second life. This technique is called upcycling. This approach helps to minimize waste and follow modern eco-trends.

"An unnecessary aluminum teapot can be turned into a stylish planter for plants, and glass jars that you no longer use can be painted with stained glass paints, creating unusual vases. An old suitcase or trunk can be used instead of a bedside table or even a coffee table in the living room, decorated with decorative elements — photo frames, stickers, a night light, etc.,"the service said.

Also, one of the ways to transform the interior is to add live plants. Succulents or chlorophytums are easy to care for, as well as sansevieria, which is also called "pike's tail".

"Zamiokulkas also belongs to the list of indoor plants that require minimal attention: it can feel comfortable in poorly lit rooms, and it lives best in poorly ventilated soil with drainage. Ficus will be an ideal option for those who forget about watering all the time, but dream of having more greenery at home. This plant is also practically not afraid of the lack of sunlight or dry air," said Yandex Rental.

In addition, the service advised adding elements in trendy colors to the interior this spring, and this can be done not only with furniture or accessories, but also textiles. You can also upgrade kitchen towels, bed linen, curtains, bedspread or sofa pillow cases. Bright spring hues can also be added using minimalistic wall posters, Yandex Rent noted.

According to the forecasts of the Pantone Color Institute, in the spring and summer of 2025, cream lime shades, rich pink-purple, aquamarine, white grape color and a warm yellow-orange shade will become the most trending.

On February 27, Alexey Orekhov, an interior decoration expert and CEO of NATEK, told Izvestia that how to prepare an apartment for sale. He noted that it is worth abandoning major repairs, replacing pipes or ventilation, as well as demolishing or transferring walls. Instead, he advised updating the wallpaper or covering the walls and ceiling with paint and laying linoleum.
