After a long and cold winter the sweet embrace of spring is more welcome than ever. With just a few simple interior decorating changes you can welcome spring into your home and give it that fresh, invigorated feeling as well. Use the following spring decorating tips to breathe new life into your home this spring.
Spring Cleaning
It’s cliché but it needs to be said, spring cleaning is essential. It’s time to remove all the dirt and dust that’s collected through the winter, clean out the cobwebs and open the windows and let that spring breeze wash through your home. It doesn’t matter how thorough your cleaning is, just remember the cleaner it is the better it will feel.
New Window Treatments
Replace your heavy window treatments with light airy ones that dance in the breeze and let light filter through sheers and brighten the room. If you can’t afford to purchase new window treatments or would like to try your hand at making them, they’re rather easy to make and there are even no-sew curtains that you can whip up.
Blooms and Greens
One very inexpensive and simple way to make your home look spring-kissed is by purchasing a couple of plants, especially ones that bloom in spring. But make your plant more interesting by giving it a special home. Pots and planters can be decorated with paint, decoupage, ribbon, or even simple wrapping paper.
More Mother Nature
Green, or eco-friendly, decorating has become a huge trend but interior design with touches of Mother Nature accented throughout is also a hot interior trend. Look for accent pieces to incorporate in your home that feature blooms, leaves, branches and other obvious natural elements. Make a more subtle statement by using earth-inspired colors.
Mirrors
Mirrors instantly open up a space by creating a visual illusion of space and depth. They also bounce light around in exciting ways you can control. Decorating with mirrors is an unexpected, simple and inexpensive way to decorate for spring.
New Bedding
Bedding really sets the tone for a bedroom and changing the bedding seasonally is a wonderful way to create a mood and atmosphere. Dark colors in the winter can make a room feel warmer and cozier and, in contrast, light colors in the spring time open up the space and make it feel fresh and airy.
Declutter the Space
Not so much decorating as it is undecorating, removing clutter from your home is one of the most effective ways to change the interior decorating scheme. Just like bringing items into a space can give it a new look and feel, removing those items again changes the way a person reacts to the space.
These simple and inexpensive spring interior decorating tips can really make a big impact in your home. Seasonal decorating doesn’t need to be expensive or time consuming.
