SPRUCE UP YOUR HOME
FOR SPRING
Spring is here! Now is the TIME TO REDESIGN…. Your home, that is.
Springtime brings us warm sunshine, beautiful flowers, and singing
birds. We want our home to reflect our happy mood and there are some
easy ways to do just that. Making subtle changes in our home’s décor
is easy. An inexpensive way to start the process is to open the
curtains & drapes and wash those windows! Continue "sprucing up your
home" with these additional ideas.
#1. Change your artwork.
If you have dark paintings that reflect autumn or winter, try
changing them for something bright & colorful. Choose prints that
reflect flowers, birds, or other spring themes.
#2. Switch your everyday dishes to
lightweight colorful designs.
This will help your heavier dishware last longer and also have a
fresh new look for spring. Also, put away any brass or pewter and
bring out your crystal.
#3. Display colorful fruits such as
lemons, limes, or oranges in decorative bowls.
This will not only add color but a wonderful fragrance to your home.
#4. Replace any dark, heavy, lampshades
to lighter weight, neutral-colored ones.
#5. If you have area rugs that are
dark, try replacing them with patterns that are light, airy, and
spring like.
#6. Nothing says springtime like fresh
flowers. Place them
throughout your home for a burst of beauty and fragrance.
Also, remember to clear away the clutter from the holidays,
including all those magazines and papers that may have been piling
up. Think of it like this. In the winter we layer our clothing to
keep warm and in the spring less clothing is required. Use the same
concept when editing your home’s décor for spring. Keep things
simple and uncluttered for an airy, open feeling.
