Spring is the time of new beginnings, when nature awakens and everything begins to blossom. Why not bring this fresh, vibrant ambience to your holiday home? With these three simple tips, you can transform your holiday flat or holiday home into a blooming oasis in no time at all in spring:
1. Floral accents
Go for fresh flower arrangements such as tulips, daffodils or hyacinths to fill your holiday home with colourful vibrancy. Enhance the look of your windowsills with flower pots. Plants not only look great, they also provide oxygen.

Flowering plants in hanging baskets or on the balcony table create a relaxed, spring-like atmosphere.

3. Great ambience in the outdoor area
Set up comfortable garden furniture, deckchairs or hammocks and provide protection from the sun with parasols. With a barbecue area, you can provide numerous guests with their favourite summer activity. Choose atmospheric lighting such as fairy lights, solar lanterns or torches.
