Why Spring Is the Perfect Time to Refresh Your Home in Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan winters are tough on homes.
Between snow, ice, dry air, UV exposure, and dramatic temperature swings, your home naturally starts to feel a little worn down by spring. By May, you may start noticing faded paint, outdated blinds, weathered decks, or rooms that simply no longer feel like you.
Spring is also when the light changes dramatically in Saskatoon homes. Colours suddenly feel warmer, brighter, and more alive than they did during the darker winter months. That’s why May is one of the best times to repaint, redesign, or refresh your space.
Different Saskatoon neighbourhoods often need different approaches depending on when the homes were built.
Freshen up your doorstep!
If you live in areas like Nutana, City Park, Caswell Hill, or Buena Vista, your home may have beautiful original character that can be enhanced with warm paint colours, textured wallpaper, and updated window coverings that still respect the home’s personality.
Give your home more character.
If your home is in Stonebridge, Arbor Creek, Hampton Village, or Willowgrove, you may be looking for ways to modernize mid-2000s finishes and move away from cooler grey tones that are starting to feel dated.
Make your home stand out!
And if you’re in newer communities like Evergreen, Brighton, or Rosewood, you may simply want to add warmth, personality, and texture to make your home feel more customized and lived in.
The right updates don’t just improve how your home looks. They improve how it feels to live in every day.
Exterior Home Refresh Ideas We’re Loving This Spring
One of the biggest trends we’re seeing this year is homeowners investing in exterior curb appeal.
After a long Saskatchewan winter, your exterior can start to feel faded or tired, especially your deck, fence, trim, or siding. Even small exterior updates can dramatically modernize your home and make it feel fresh again.
At Eastside Paint & Wallpaper, we carry Sansin Stain, a premium wood stain designed to perform beautifully in Canadian climates. It’s especially well-suited for Saskatchewan because it’s built to withstand harsh weather conditions while still enhancing the natural beauty of the wood.
Refreshing your deck or fence can:
improve curb appeal
extend the life of exterior wood
modernize your outdoor space
make your backyard feel more inviting
Right now, many homeowners are gravitating toward:
rich walnut tones
warm cedar finishes
matte natural wood looks
deeper earthy stains
These colours pair beautifully with modern Prairie homes and natural landscaping.
Wallpaper Is One of the Biggest Home Trends Right Now
Wallpaper has made a huge comeback, but it looks very different than what you may remember.
Today’s wallpaper trends are softer, warmer, and far more timeless. Instead of overly busy patterns, homeowners are choosing designs that add depth, texture, and personality in a more refined way.
We’re seeing wallpaper used in:
powder rooms
bedrooms
offices
dining rooms
entryways
feature walls
Popular styles right now include:
textured neutrals
botanical prints
earthy tones
soft geometrics
organic textures
Wallpaper works especially well in Saskatchewan homes because it adds warmth and visual interest during long winters when your home naturally becomes your main place of comfort and relaxation.
At Eastside Paint & Wallpaper, we carry premium wallpaper brands including:
York Wallcoverings
Crown Surface Solutions
Brewster Wallcoverings
And throughout May, wallpaper is 20% off!
The Right Blinds Can Completely Change a Room
Blinds and window coverings are often one of the last design decisions Saskatoon homeowners make, but they can completely change how a room feels.
The right blinds help:
soften natural light
improve privacy
add texture and warmth
create a more finished space
improve comfort and functionality
In Saskatchewan homes, they also help manage strong Prairie sunlight and improve energy efficiency throughout the year.
We’re seeing many homeowners move away from basic builder-grade blinds and choose custom window coverings that better suit their home and lifestyle.
Some of the most popular options right now include:
motorized blinds
roller shades
zebra shades
sheer shades
cellular shades
wood and faux wood blinds
We offer free in-home consultations for blinds and window coverings throughout Saskatoon and surrounding areas, helping you confidently choose the right fit for your home without feeling overwhelmed.
Making Home Design Decisions Easier
One of the biggest things we hear from homeowners is:
“I know I want to update my home… I just don’t know where to start.”
That’s exactly why Eastside Paint & Wallpaper exists.
We’re here to help you:
narrow down colour choices
coordinate wallpaper and paint
select blinds that fit your space
choose and match exterior products that will last
create a home that feels cohesive and personal
Whether you’re refreshing one room or updating your entire exterior this spring, our goal is to help make the process easier and more enjoyable.
