1. Spring is the best time to go outside for inspiration for our homes. Try cutting fresh flowers like daffodils or tulips, placing small bunches of them throughout your home for an instant burst of color and sunshine. Fill a clear glass bowl or vase with lemons or limes for a fun, cheerful accent that yells “springtime”. Or try filling a shallow dish with sea glass or shells in lovely pastel shades. Smooth river rocks also add a touch of the outdoors when they are displayed in a glass or pottery bowl.
2. Celebrate springtime and let in the light. Take heavy curtains off the windows, leaving just shades or replacing them with breezy sheers. Sheers and shades provide just the right amount of privacy when you need it, but the extra light will brighten your home and your mood.
3. Remove heavy winter bedding to lighten up bedrooms. Replace dark colors and heavy comforters with white bedding and lighter coverlets. Create a soothing oasis in your bedroom by layering light coverlets or quilts in calm, coordinating shades of spring, like pale pink, ivory or white.
4. Roll up heavy area rugs and replace them with small, cheerful throw rugs. Small cotton throw rugs are a quick, easy way to add some spring color to a dark, wintry room. Uncover wood or tile floors to lighten up a room and prepare for the casual bare-foot attitude of summer. Now is also a great time to get rugs professionally cleaned before you put them away for the summer.
5. Cover throw pillows with new spring pillow covers. The dark winter reds, browns and navys can be traded in for lighter hues inspired by the cheerful colors of nature. Mimic the yellows, pinks, blues and greens of springtime throughout your house with new throw pillows and colorful accents.
