Tree buds are growing everywhere we look, and flowers are trying to bloom. Early signs of spring are here, which means one thing—time to update your home décor with these springtime decorating tips. Springtime inspires us to consider wild, vibrant colors and patterns–and then, change things. Are you a fan of bright, vivid colors? Or, do you love muted pastels? Springtime decorating makes room for more color and light in our homes.
Color Refresh 101
Spring is in bloom, so it is time for a color refresh. Bring splashes of color into your home with dramatic new paint for the walls, or go more straightforward and incorporate soft hues into bedding and furniture pieces. Springtime decorating is all about choosing a palette to transition the home from deeper winter colors to refreshed tones. Showcase optimism and joy with trendy yellows and blues tones or classic greens. Whatever the mood, a nice pop of color does a home (and soul) good.
Textiles and Fabrics with Spring Flair
Textiles with flair are in. Brighten the mood with unique patterns and color choices. Want a bit of oui, oui and joie d’vivre? Try French-inspired textile designs for a European vibe. Right now, environmentally friendly prints and fabrics with natural fibers and nature themes are at the top of the list. Florals are always in for spring, but go for a more colorful punch with bright, bold prints against simple pieces throughout the space to balance a room. Springtime decorating with fabrics can bring a touch of lightness.
New? Or, Tried and True Decorating?
Do you love decorating, but want to stick with easy, simple styles and pieces? Go with a tried and true look. If it worked last season, try bringing a few pieces out to mix with a few new designs. Pull in pieces from other spaces to change things up instead of redecorating an entire room. Spring is about flexibility and casual comfort with a touch of elegance. Recover a few throws with bold designs, paired with pieces from that forgotten bin of spring décor in the attic. Mix and match new with existing pieces for added flair and design. Springtime decorating is about having fun and being playful with designs.
Nature Is In (So Bring It Inside!)
What is outside, (nature) is in for spring. Find plants, pots, and greenery to add a touch of the outside world to brighten your space. Are real plants not your thing? Fake it. Nature décor that looks plucked straight from a garden, but doesn’t require watering or upkeep, is always timeless.
Add some small succulents to kitchen spaces for a bit of green. Let the light in with window treatments that filter just the right light to brighten up the kitchen and living areas as the days get longer. A simple change in window treatments can let light flow in and enhance the beauty of a space.
Ease into Springtime Decorating
Springtime decorating is about easy inspiration. Look around at what needs updating. Swap this piece here, move this piece over there, and add a few as-needed changes to update the look and feel for the season. Even if you are not a design expert, just a few tweaks to the space can get the look just right.
