Put a sparkle into your
home for spring!
As winter steps into spring, it’s a great
opportunity to refresh your home – and
it does not need to cost the earth.
The keys to a spring make-over are
cheerful colours and light fabrics. Start
by checking each room and thinking
about ways to introduce a lighter, more
colourful look.
In the bedroom, a simple refresh of the
duvet in a lovely crisp cotton can make a
huge difference. Try soothing shades of
blue and aqua or soft shades of pink and
peppermint green.
Floor cushions can create a cosy
seating area in the sun and can be a fun
element for casual spring decorating.
Choose bold colour cushions using
accent colours for lounging on and add a
low table or tray for drinks or books.
Create an indoor garden with a fresh
display of pot plants inside. Ferns and
palm trees can refresh any room bringing
the outside in and creating a contrast
to plain walls. Have fun with the pots
and use a different range of sizes to add
interest. Bring in vases of fresh daffodils
to add a dash of colour and fragrance.
A new shower curtain can also
brighten and add a new design
dimension to your bathroom without a
big investment in cost. Adding towels
that match with your new shower curtain
will change the look of your bathroom
almost effortlessly.
Outdoor lights help create a wonderful
mood and atmosphere to your outdoor
space. Solar powered they can be
anything from lights guiding people
up a pathway to a dazzling display of
twinkling fairy lights in a tree. Think
about some other options like up-lights
in certain spaces to really give a feel
of occasion and magic when you are
entertaining outside.
Spring decorating is more than just
creating a cheerful look. With the huge
range of candles and diffusers around,
you can set the mood for spring in your
home with tropical and citrusy scents.
By tying in the colours and designs of
your candle holders and diffusers to the
individual room your home will smell of
spring.
Spring decorating can be fun and
a great excuse to update your décor
without going into debt. A few plants, a
new duvet cover and cushions can make
a huge impact of your home.
