Spring Styles at Home


Looking to brighten up your space for spring and summer? Check out the tips below for how to get your home ready for the warmer months ahead. 

Pastels Painting is one of the quickest and cheapest ways to transform any room in your home. By sticking to pastel shades – think blush pinks, baby blues, mint greens, soft yellows, and muted warm or cool tones – any room will immediately become lighter and brighter. If you don’t want to commit to painting all the walls, you can choose one and create an accent wall. Or, you could repaint any shelving in the room to add a pop of color. Adding throws, pillows, or other decorative pieces in pastel shades will have the same effect, and will make the space more festive.

Flowers “Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.” Name that movie! But seriously, is there anything that screams spring more than fresh, colorful flowers? It can change the look and feel of a space. Bunched in large arrangements, or single stems placed in small vases, flowers can be used to decorate a space, as well as breathe life into it. Beyond the aesthetics, the invigorating scents of fresh tulips, daisies, and garden roses can brighten your space and your mood. If you happen to be allergic or just don’t enjoy the maintenance, you can always achieve the same look with fake flowers. Investing In high quality pieces will insure beautiful flowers for years to come.  

Indoor/Outdoor Living A great way to bring the summer vibes indoors is to create areas in your home that will remind you of sun, sand, and surf. For a nautical theme, you could reupholster your couch using whites and blues. For a tropical vibe, add palm tree or banana leaf print pillows or throws. Stick to light colored wood pieces for end tables and use “outdoor furniture” re-purposed for use indoors. By incorporating colors, styles, and pieces that remind you of summertime fun, you can bring easy, breezy outdoor living indoors and enjoy it year round, even if the weather doesn’t comply.
