Spring is more than a season; it’s a feeling. The weight of winter lifts, and we enjoy increased energy for the warmer days. In terms of home décor, it’s the perfect time to rejuvenate our living spaces. Transforming your home to match the season requires minimal effort and budget. First, get rid of your winter junk with a thorough spring cleaning and de-cluttering. Then, begin. Here are three simple tips to keep your spring overhaul simple, cost effective, and fun.
1. Think Color
Say goodbye to the deep magentas, blacks, and navy blues of winter. Pastels are the colours of spring, such as pale lavender, turquoise, rose blush, soft greens, and even a refreshing white. But don’t rule out zestier punches of colour, such as a lemon yellow, orangey coral, or stunning royal blue.
2. Think Nature
Outdoors, springtime is officially proclaimed by the arrival of floral blooms. Tulips, cherry blossoms, lilacs, daffodils, crocuses, pansies, and fresh greenery let us know that summer is around the corner. Bring these beauties indoors with a trip to your local florist or craft store. While nothing beats fresh, high-quality artificial flowers are allergy-friendly, hassle-free, and last indefinitely.
3. Think Accessories
You are most welcome to take on a hearty project, such as painting or wallpaper. However, it’s not necessary. Inspired by the colours and nature of spring, accessories, artwork, and accents are perfect for updating your home. Remember, less is more – the impact of each item is enhanced by the open space around it. Also, go easy on the knick-knacks and try to select items for their functionality. Here are some ideas for your springtime shopping list, and remember you don’t need to spend a lot.
