With spring in full swing, now is a good time to begin decorating your home for the season.
Whether you enjoy chic decorations that are budget-friendly or easy changes to create a fresh look, below are five quick ideas to brighten up your home for the season.
Add a Pop of Color
Spring is a good time to add color to your décor. Switch your tablecloth in the dining room for one with lighter colors.
Cover decorative pillows with pastel pillowcases to lighten a room.
Adding decorative centerpieces to tables that contain a pop of spring colors is also a simple way to get your home ready for spring.
Find A Spring Wreath
Wreaths are usually hung during the Christmas holiday, but other seasonal wreaths are becoming a popular trend.
You can purchase a floral wreath to hang on your front door or get creative and make a spring wreath using flowers, plastic eggs, fabric or a variety of other materials.
Place Flowers Around The House
Flowers are perfect to use when decorating for spring. Place lilies or tulips in a colored vase to sit on the table or hang floral prints on a bare wall to add color.
Whether using fresh flowers or floral inspired pieces, nothing says spring like brightly colored blooms.
Hang Up Mirrors
Putting up mirrors around your house will help brighten your home by reflecting light into every corner. Don’t be afraid to add more than one to a room, and choose looking glasses with fun frames to light up your space — and your mood.
Remember, Less Is More
Spring is also a time when people clean out their houses and de-clutter. Spring is thought of as the season of fresh starts or new beginnings.
When decorating for spring, get rid of items you no longer need. Too many nick-knacks end up being dusty objects that constantly need cleaning.
