Spring is here! Time to give your home a fresh, bright look. Think lighter colors, more natural light – a total refresh after a long winter.
Brighten Up with Spring Colors
Color is key. Think soft pastels – like pale blues and pinks. Those create a calm feeling. But don't be afraid of brighter colors! A sunny yellow pillow or a vibrant green vase adds some oomph.
- Pastels: Lovely and calming. Perfect for bedrooms or living rooms.
- Bright Accents: Use these sparingly. Think throw pillows or artwork – small pops of color.
- Neutral Base: Creamy whites or light greys make the bright colors pop even more. Plus, they make small rooms feel bigger!
Amazing Color Combos
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Blush pink and mint green: So romantic! Perfect for a bedroom.
- Sunny yellow and bright white: Cheerful and bright. Great for a kitchen!
- Lavender and pale grey: Elegant and calming. Think bathroom or guest room.
Bring the Outdoors In
Natural elements add so much life and freshness. I love doing this!
- Fresh flowers: Tulips? Daffodils? Yes, please! A simple vase brightens any room.
- Plants: Potted plants add life and vibrancy. Even a small succulent makes a difference. Seriously.
- Natural materials: Wood, wicker, bamboo – these add warmth and texture.
- Natural fibers: Linen, cotton…these feel so good! Use them in your bedding or curtains.
New Textiles, New You
Switching up your curtains and bedding is an easy way to make a big change. Think light and airy fabrics in spring colors.
- Lightweight curtains: Let the sunshine in! Sheer curtains are perfect.
- Throw pillows: A few new pillows can completely change the look of a sofa.
- Rugs: A new rug adds warmth and texture. It’s amazing what a difference a new rug can make.
- Bedding: Fresh sheets and a spring-colored duvet cover – pure bliss!
Room-by-Room Spring Refresh
Living Room:
Make it cozy and inviting. Light furniture, colorful pillows, and maybe a new rug. I like to add some fresh flowers to my coffee table.
Bedroom:
Keep it peaceful and calming. Soft colors, light fabrics, and maybe a diffuser with a relaxing scent.
Kitchen:
Bright and cheerful! Fresh flowers or herbs add a pop of color. Lighten up your kitchen towels too!
Bathroom:
A spa-like feel is great for the bathroom. Fresh towels, candles, and maybe a plant. A new shower curtain can make a huge difference too!
Accessorize for Spring
The finishing touches make all the difference!
- Flowers: Everywhere! Seriously, you can’t have too many flowers in the spring.
- Candles: Spring scents like lavender or honeysuckle are amazing.
- Artwork: Find some spring-themed art to add some personality.
- Bowls and trays: Fill them with fresh fruit or flowers.
