13 Simple Ways To Refresh Your Home For Spring
By KRISTY BOWEN
Buds And Branches
Adding fresh flowers and greenery to your home is a simple way to add color and life to your décor, particularly during springtime. Instead of traditional bouquets, consider decorating your vessels with buds and branch clippings, real or faux, such as cotton trees, cherry blossom limbs, magnolia branches, and eucalyptus clippings.
Welcome Mats
Now that winter has passed, the spring season is the most ideal time to replace door mats. Change out your heavier, more resilient, thicker carpets for woven, lighter options to welcome the start of spring in style.
Accent Pillows
Throw pillows can unify various colors and materials in your home and create a cozy vibe in colder weather, but they're a good option for any time of year. For spring and summer, opt for lighter and fresher colors like neutrals, and choose woven textures for your sofa, chairs, and bed.
Wallpaper Inspiration
By the end of winter, walls — particularly white ones — can seem bland and in need of a dose of inspiration. You can use wallpaper, which comes in many beautiful peel-and-stick varieties, such as florals, stripes, or retro geometric patterns, to add interest and create
a focal point in any room.
Bookshelf Switcheroo
If you're a book lover, the idea of flipping the spines of your books may be intimidating, but it's a simple and effective way to change the appearance of your bookshelves. The neutral palette not only creates a lighter atmosphere in the room, but also
serves as an excellent background for displaying other decorative items.
