Along with warmer weather, longer days, and the beginning of an allergy season, it’s time to start thinking about new spring decorations for your home. Think about new furniture, fresh plants, fresh patterns, repainting, new wallpapers, or maybe even a new bed. You don’t have to spend a fortune to make everything in your home look healthier.
Add New Colors to Your Bookcases
You know, having a room that looks fatigued can change how we feel about our lives. This is why many people decide to buy new furniture every two or three years. However, you don’t have to spend that much money. You can breathe new life into your furniture simply by painting it with a new color or just adding new colors to it by rearranging it or using new pieces.
New Artwork
Setting up a gallery wall is always a good idea, but no, you don’t need to fill every single wall space with pictures. The key to any successful interior design is balance. And you don’t have to choose a theme either! You can display so many different things at once. Just choose from a large selection of things that are most important to you!
Let Nature In
“Spring is nature’s way of saying, let’s party!!”
— Robin Williams
Flowers and plants can reduce stress, noise, purify the air, spread a pleasant smell, and radiate some wonderful, healthy energy. There are proofs that plants can also absorb electromagnetic radiation, and obliterate negative energy.
But getting the most out of them and keeping them fresh can often be a difficult task. With the right care and attention, your flowers can last much longer.
Introduce a fresh palette of colors into your home. You can make a mixed bunch or split it between two or three containers. Just make sure that they complement each other in shape, size, hues, and heights. And you should remember that spring flowers continue to grow once you place them in water so think carefully when using them in a mixed arrangement.
Night and Day
You can combine the two colors of the day in one room. You can add colors of dusk and dawn by combining warm pink and soft sky blue. This design is inspired by nature. You can use them together or separately to bring some balance to your home.
Replace Blankets with Some Lightweight Throws
You can make your living room ready for spring with this small “fix”. Mix textured lightweight throws with patterned pillows for some additional depth and color. Besides, their lightweight cotton weave is perfect for the warmer months.
Bring More Light into Your Living Room Using Light Colors and Mirrors
Some extra sunshine will elevate your mood, improve sleep quality, promote bone growth, help strengthen your immune system, lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of melanoma, promote weight loss, wake you up in the morning, and keeps you on alert and energized. This is why you should paint your walls in cool tones like white, gray, cream or eggshell blue to boost the natural light in the room.
Mirrors are also an excellent trick. Mirrors reflect light, so the more mirrors you have in a room, the more light bounces from wall to wall. You should hang mirrors opposite windows or doors.
You can also add a skylight, change your old, solid doors with a door that has a window, etc.
Removable Wallpaper
You can experiment as much as you want with this without being worried about making a mistake. They are easy to install and remove (duh!) so this is why removable wallpapers are becoming more and more popular.
Do What Works for You
Always keep in mind that the style of your home should serve your family and not the other way around. Your home should be comfortable for you and your family members and you are the ones who should enjoy it.
You should bring your own personality and life story into your surroundings and make your rooms reflect you. Your likes, interests and hobbies, religion, culture, should all be visible around you (if you want it to).
The colors you choose for your home should also reflect your moods and not necessarily what’s “in” in the specific time or region. The things you exhibit should reveal your dreams, hopes, and your past (or current) experiences. The art you have on your walls should be less about the techniques and the popularity of the artists, and more about how it reflects your personality and feelings.
So, don’t bother yourself with the perfect symmetry. Try to express yourself. Your true self.
