Your home could use a refresh when the chill winter days give way to spring. You can achieve this by swapping out your heavy textiles for lighter ones, incorporating soft colors in your decor, and setting up your yard for outdoor enjoyment. Although simple in theory, you may need to buy a few items to bring about these changes. And in case you're planning a quick trip to Costco soon or just wish to order a few things online, we've prepared a list of the 12 best spring-related items, according to reviews.

We've also included a few items, such as a pool purifier, that will help you prepare your house for the upcoming summer months. To ensure you get your money's worth, all recommended products have plenty of positive reviews and an average star rating of 4.1 or higher. If you'd like to know our vetting process better, check out the methodology at the end.

Dense or thermal-insulated drapes can help keep your home warmer and HVAC running more efficiently in winter. But when spring arrives, trade in your heavy curtains for lighter ones. This simple switch will let in sunshine and create an easy-breezy atmosphere. In case you don't have some already, try out Taylor & Moxie's Sheer Linen Blend Curtains. Their biggest draw, according to reviewers, is that they aren't completely see-through. Since they feature slightly woven horizontal lines, they won't compromise your privacy or block sunlight. They're available in a four-pack and are made of 95% polyester and 5% linen. However, they can only be bought online.

More than 600 people have reviewed these curtains, and over 82% have given them 5 stars. As such, the curtains enjoy an average star rating of 4.7. Appreciating the slight texture, one reviewer wrote, "I bought these to update the original sheer curtains on my front-facing large windows ... They not only provided my room with a modern refresh, but they allow tons of light inside while providing moderate privacy from the outside looking in." Note that a few people returned the curtains because the color looked dull with white walls.

If you're considering upgrading your patio furniture this spring, Costco stocks a few dozen fire pit seating sets, and the Sirio Aberdeen 5-piece Fire Outdoor Patio Seating Set is one of the best-reviewed options. This online-only set includes two club chairs and two loveseats made of HDPE hand-woven resin wicker with aluminum frames. Moreover, the cast slate cushions are covered in 6.5-inch thick Sunbrella fabric to help them withstand inclement weather. You'll have to assemble the chairs, but customer reviews suggest this doesn't take long. Keep in mind that the seats can only fit six people comfortably, so this set won't be the right choice for a large family. The set also includes a fire table that's CSA-certified, has an output of 55,000 BTU, comes with a fire glass, and offers some storage space.

Having been reviewed over 300 times, the seating set has an average star rating of 4.6 and over 83% 5-star reviews. Praising this item's quality, one reviewer mentioned, "Solid construction, quality fabric, looks great. Comfortable and clean lines. Fire pit stores the tank and is a good height for resting a beverage." Alas, some people received defective pieces and had to return the set.

Generally, your region's last spring frost date will inform your decision on when to start seeds outdoors. However, you can sow them early and extend the growing season if you have a greenhouse, like Palram Canopia's Harmony Greenhouse, in your yard. With its panels made of polycarbonate, the manufacturer claims that it'll offer your precious plants the required amount of light and heat up the soil efficiently while blocking out the sun's UV rays. Additionally, its frame is constructed out of rust-resistant aluminum, and it has a galvanized steel base. The greenhouse is also outfitted with a rain gutter, a magnetic hinged door, and a roof vent. But before you order this item online, know that you might have to get a building permit to permanently assemble the greenhouse in your garden.

With close to 1,000 reviews, the greenhouse has an average star rating of 4.1 and over 50% 5-star reviews. Multiple reviewers stated that they'd recommend this greenhouse to others, with one sharing, "Highly recommend this small, but roomy structure, especially if you live in a high wind area. We have had sustained winds of 35 miles an hour and while noisy inside during winds, it is very stable and sound." However some buyers found the plastic panels to be thinner than expected, and it seems like anchoring the greenhouse to a solid base is key for areas that experience high winds. Opinions on ease of assembly are mixed: Some reviewers stated that they assembled their models in a matter of hours, while others found the directions tough to follow. 

A barbecue grill is a must-have entertaining essential for your outdoor space. And if you plan on hosting a party in your yard as soon as winter gives way to spring, you need a BBQ. The Nexgrill Deluxe 7 Burner Gas Grill is a stainless-steel model with a total heat generation capacity of 72,000 BTUs. It features six primary burners and another on the side. The primary cooking area measures 582 square inches, and a warming rack takes up 224 square inches. Moreover, it supports both natural gas and propane. It has a built-in temperature gauge, sports a black nickel finish on the knobs and handles, and comes with six tool hooks. The package also includes a dedicated grill cover.

The grill has more than 200 reviews and over 72% of them have given it 5 stars. This brings its average star rating to 4.4. Satisfied with the item, one reviewer divulged, "It is sturdy and was fairly easy to put together. In addition, it is easy to clean because each piece can be removed easily. We love the grill and the additional side burner." A few people reported having to pay to have it assembled and complained about the flame being inconsistent.

Tired of being cooped up indoors all winter? Braving the cool spring air from inside a hot tub sounds like a solid cure. The Aquaterra Spas Brighton 26-Jet Hot Tub is a plug-and-play unit that's available online in two variants — a lounger that accommodates five people and a non-lounger that can fit six individuals. Both models are energy efficient and have foam insulation to allow the hot water within to retain its heat for longer. Plus, they feature 25 stainless-steel trim jets and one ozone jet as well as an adjustable cascading waterfall. They also come with a two-speed 1.5 HP pump, 1kW heater, underwater LED lighting, and a built-in LCD panel. The manufacturer claims maintenance is simple, too, with an ozone water care system and a 50-square-foot filter doing the heavy-lifting.

The hot tub has garnered over 500 reviews with about 68% of customers awarding it 5 stars. It has an average star rating of 4.4. Explaining how it has held up over the years, one reviewer noted, "I've had this tub now for I think 8-10 years ... Everything still works fine except the cover is worn (Can replace for $35) and the display LED is fading. It's actually amazing." However, few products are perfect, and some buyers report having received leaking models.

Searching for alternative cleaners to reduce the amount of chlorine in your pool? The Remington Solar's Chlorine-Free Sun Shock Pool Purifier unit uses solar energy and copper as well as silver ions to clean your pool of impurities and make it summer-ready. When dropped in a salt- or freshwater body, the solar panels absorb the sun's energy and generate electricity. This flows down to the primary coil featuring a copper and silver alloy rod. Eventually, the mineralized ions flow out to the surrounding water while cleaning your pool and absorbing unwanted elements, such as calcium and iron. The manufacturer also claims that the mineralized water can resist algae. However, this isn't a replacement to chlorine tabs; you'll still have to use them to eliminate harmful bacteria, but the doses will just be smaller. One sun shocker device can handle up to a 22,000-gallon pool.

After being reviewed over 2,600 times, the pool purifier has an average star rating of 4.2 with nearly 69% 5-star ratings. Admiring it, one person shared, "I bought this item out of desperation this spring because I could not get my pool cleared of algae after spending $500 plus on chemicals. I am blown away by how effective it has been." However, other reviews do confirm that this device isn't a total replacement for chlorine.

Hoping to attract more migrating or local birds to your yard this spring? Setting out a birdbath to invite them in is a great start. Brownie points if you get one that mimics the sound of moving water as this further draws in the feathery creatures. The Liquid Art's Klamath Basin Birdbath-style 16-inch Bubbler Fountain is constructed from hand-made glass fiber reinforced concrete, and the 25-pound bubbler is designed to look like it's been carved from natural stone. The fountain base can handle about 12 gallons of water in one go, while the bowl for birds at the top holds 1 inch of water that falls down the side and is recycled back into the concealed reservoir. Moreover, its magnetic pump remains submerged and can transport 370 gallons of water in an hour. The unit is only available online, and it's undeliverable in Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico.

This product has over 300 reviews and sports an average star rating of 4.6 and over 77% 5-star reviews. Delighted with their purchase, a user noted, "A beautiful addition to birdsong and breezes through the trees in my Georgia backyard — love to enjoy the fountain sounds on cool spring mornings and shaded patio evenings." Despite this, some people complained that the fountain looks artificial when placed near real rocks.

Whether you get a new set or plan on making good use of your current patio furniture once the weather warms up, you need a covering overhead to protect the cushions from untimely rains and the sun's unforgiving rays. Paragon Outdoor's Santa Monica Aluminum Gazebo has a rust-resistant aluminum frame that can withstand nature's vagaries all year-round. Plus, the roof consists of multiple layers of aluminum with a polyethylene core, helping insulate the gazebo and minimizing noise. The manufacturer also mentions that the structure doesn't require maintenance and can be easily assembled within a few hours. But you'll need at least two people to get the job done. That being said, don't start constructing it until you receive a building or zoning permit from the local authorities or your HOA. Also, you can only order this item online.

The gazebo has been reviewed over 1,600 times and has an average star rating of 4.4, with over 66% of users giving it 5 stars. One reviewer happy with their purchase shared, "The kit (4 boxes) was well packed, all the little pieces and large pieces were numbered, tools were provided and the instruction booklet was great. The finished product is very lovely and impressive. ... Very sturdy and well made." As far as drawbacks go, some buyers have reported damage to the panels after strong winds, and a couple mention that removing the plastic film from the roof sheets is incredibly time-consuming (tip: One reviewer shared that laying the panels out in the sun can help). 

Choosing the best types of bedsheets for every season will prepare your bedroom for the upcoming months and ensure you remain comfortable at night. Egyptian cotton is known for its breathability, but it's also weighty and can hold a little more warmth than an ultra-thin cotton coverlet. Costco's Hotel Signature Egyptian Cotton 400 Threatd Count Sheet Set is made from Egyptian cotton, and the six-pack includes a flat as well as fitted sheet along with four pillow covers. Besides being satiny soft, the manufacturer states that the sheets are wrinkle-resistant, even when washed. The set is available in four colors and two sizes — for a queen or a king bed — so make sure you pick one that matches your requirements.

After garnering close to 3,500 reviews, this Egyptian cotton set has an average star rating of 4.5 and over 74% 5-star reviews. Explaining why they bought the set, a reviewer wrote, "These sheets are unexpectedly good. We noticed them at an Airbnb and ordered a set. Super comfortable and the fitted sheet is deep enough that it doesn't come undone." Other reviewers have corroborated both the softness of the sheets and that the fitted sheet stays securely in place. As far as downsides go, reviews are mixed around wrinkle-resistance, and some buyers reported that their set started out slightly rough, but softened over time and between washes. 

If you're still haunted by why your heating bill was through the roof this winter, or want to illuminate outdoor spaces without the hassle of hardwiring, solar lights can feel like a no-brainer. Costco's Lutec 89-inch Outdoor LED Solar Post Light features three LED bulbs inside a beveled glass case. Together, they have a light output of 300 lumens, with the color temperature hovering around 2,700K. In other words, it can illuminate dark driveways and corners well once the sun sets. It also offers a hands-free operation, as the light has an in-built sensor. This allows it to turn on itself when dusk arrives and power off when dawn is on the horizon. However, it'll only brighten your outdoors for about eight hours on a full charge.

With close to 1,400 reviews to its name, this outdoor solar light has an average star rating of 4.5 and over 74% 5-star reviews. Detailing the reasons why they like the lamp, one user stated, "It is SOLID! The installation instructions super easy with variable install options, we used the screw in, love that it has a level when screwing it in ... It's bright and made of superior material!" Some reviewers shared that the lights weren't as bright as expected, but this could be a matter of personal preference. In general, 300 lumens is considered enough for landscape lighting (and exceeds lamppost lighting brightness), but won't cut it if you're looking for something like flood lighting. 

Nothing signals the spring quite like freshly blooming flowers, but if you don't want to deal with all of the mistakes that can kill a live orchid, an imitation option is the next best thing (and can often look quite realistic). Costco's CGH 4-foot Artificial Phalaenopsis Orchid is housed in a contemporary planter and surrounded by real-looking artificial soil, the white synthetic polymer orchids (the pink variety is currently listed as out of stock) have realistic petals and stems.

These orchids have been reviewed over 100 times and have an average star rating of 4.9, courtesy of over 90% customers awarding it 5 stars. Complimenting the flowers, one customer said, "I have this plant sitting right by my front door and when people come in, they constantly are giving me compliments on how pretty it is. I got the white, and everybody thinks it's real." 

To curate this lineup, we short-listed items from different categories to help you make the most of spring. Only products with at least 100 reviews and an average star rating of 4.1 or higher made the cut. Then, we went through their pros and cons to select the cream of the crop and finalize our list.
